Lumsk - Blæster
Kong Olav den heilage skuklle byggje spir
på Domen i Nidaros by
han greidde det ikkje og lova sola til den
som fekk spiret til å rage mot sky Men trur du at nokon melde seg? Berre ei halv mil frå byen
på Ladehammaren ut
der budde ein diger jotne
med namnet som einaste sut Skal tru om den jotnen melde seg? Han tykte den løne var gjev og gild
så jobben den ville han ha
men kongen måtte vere snill
og namnet hans inni seg ha Slik gjekk det at jotnen melde seg Og jotnen jobba både dag og natt
til spiret stod der i glans
han drøymde om kongens digre skatt
snart skulle sola bil hans Skal tru om den kongen angra seg? Ved midnatt rodde han Olav av stadLumsk - Blæster - http://motolyrics.com/lumsk/blaester-lyrics-english-translation.html
til Kjerringberget i båt
gygra roa barnet ned
for å stanse den barnegråt Kva var det han høyrde Gygra si?
"æ lova dæ sola - det himmelske gull
så snart han Blæster e' fri
for arbeid på spiret te' Domen - i rette tid" Skal tru om den kongen angra seg? Olav rodde heim av all si makt
han måtte til Blæster sjå
forutan ein knapp var spiret lagt
han var nesten ferdig med det Skal tru om den kongen angra seg? Kong Olav den heilage ropa ut:
"Blæster korr flink du e'"
straks jotnen høyrde namnet sitt
han døydde og ramla ned Skal tru om den kongen fryda seg?
Lumsk - Blæster (English translation)
King Olav the Holy was building a spire
On the Dome in Nidaros town*
He couldn't do it and promised the sun to him
Who could make the spire lift towards the sky
But do you think someone came forth?
Just half a mile from the city
At Ladehammaren**
There lived a big giant
With his name as his only weakness
Wonder if the giant came forth?
He thought the pay was both fair and nice
So the job he would have
But the king had to be kind
And the name kept to himself
So it went that the giant came forth
And the giant he worked both day and night
'Til the spire stood there shimmering
He dreamed of the king's great treasure
Soon the sun would be his
Wonder if the king regretted?
By midnight Olav rowed off the cityLumsk - Blæster - http://motolyrics.com/lumsk/blaester-lyrics-english-translation.html
To the Mountain of the Old Hag* in a boat
The giantess was calming down the child
To stop the crying of children
What was it he heard the giantess say?
"I promise you the sun -- the heavenly gold
As soon as Blæster is free
From his work on the Dome's spire at the right time"
Wonder if the king regretted?
Olav rowed home with all his force
He had to see Blæster
All but a button was to be laid on the spire
He had almost got the job done
Wonder if the king regretted?
King Olav the Holy yelled out:
"Blæster, how clever you are!"
As soon as the giant heard his name
He died and rumbled down
Wonder if the king rejoiced himself?
