Ramund Hin Unge
TYR Lyrics

Ramund var sig en bedre mand
Ramund saw himself as a superior man

Om han havde bedre klæder
If only he had better clothes

Dronningen gav hannem klæder på stand
The queen gave him clothing to wear

Af blågarn, bast og læder
Made of blue cloth, bast, and leather

"Sådant vil jeg ikke ha," sagde Ramund.
"I do not want this," said Ramund

"Sådant står mig ikke bra," sagde Ramund hin unge
"It does not suit me well," said young Ramund

Ramund gik sig ved salten søstrand
Ramund walked along the saltwater shore

Der så han syv jætter stande
There he saw seven giants standing

"Tager jeg Ramund på min mindste hånd
"I'll take Ramund in my smallest hand

Og kaster ham langt fra lande"
And throw him far from the land"

"Det gør ikke ene du," sagde Ramund
"You can't do it alone," Ramund said

"I må komme alle syv," sagde Ramund hin unge
"All seven of you must come," said young Ramund

Ramund tog til sit dyre sværd
Ramund took his expensive sword

Det han kaldte dymlingen røde
Which he called the Red Jewel

Hug han de jætter syv med en færd
He struck all seven giants with a blow

At blodet randt dennem til døde
So that their blood flowed until they died

"Der ligger alle syv," sagde Ramund
"There lie all seven," said Ramund

"Alt står jeg her endnu," sagde Ramund hin unge
"I still stand here," said young Ramund

Kejseren ud af vinduet så
The emperor looked out of the window

Med angst og sorrigfuld mine
With a fearful and sorrowful expression

"Hvo er den mand, i gården mon stå
"Who is the man standing in the yard

Og der så hæsselig grine?
And laughing so horribly?"

"Det er mig, jeg har lyst," sagde Ramund
"It is me, I have a desire," said Ramund

"Med dig at vov' en dyst," sagde Ramund hin unge
"To challenge you to a duel," said young Ramund

Ramund tog til sin store kniv
Ramund took his big knife

Den han kaldte dymlingen dyre
Which he called the Expensive Jewel

Skilte han kejseren ved hans liv
He cut the emperor from his life

At hovedet fløj femten mile
So that the head flew fifteen miles

"Jeg mente den ej bed," sagde Ramund
"I did not aim it well," said Ramund

"Dog rinder blodet ned," sagde Ramund hin unge
"Yet the blood runs down," said young Ramund
