Gjallarhorn - I Riden Så (Ye Ride So Carefully)
This old folk song was performed by Gjallarhorn. Here translated from Swedish.
Silibrand hurried to the top of the mound
all under the linden so green
then he saw his daughter wander in the grove
Ride gently through the grove with her
Woe is me, woe is me, what do I behold
all beneath the linden so green
I see my daughter, she is coming to me
Ride gently through the grove with her
Silibrand spread out his cape so blue
all under the linden so green
Upon it she gives birth to twin sons
Ride gently through the grove with her
I shall give to my father my grey horse
all under the linden so green
Upon it he shall ride to the church
Ride gently through the sacred grove with her
I shall give to my sister my seven gold rings
all under the linden so green
That I have not worn since I was a bride
Ride gently through the grove with her
I shall give to my brother my tiny gloves
all under the linden so green
that he shall carry everywhere he goes”
ride gently through the grove with her
The one son they took to Freyia s baptism
all under the linden so green
the other son they took to Valhalls court
ride gently through the grove with her.
WOW! Warmest thanks to
Zopiclone bandit for this one!
