Skrømt - Gåte

Dørin' skrik på ruståt hengslo'

Skrømton' ansa' ingor stengslo'

Huska' kring på sval og gang

Held meg vakja natta lang

Medt i mørkrat' mednattstime

Kjem så ljøs ei månestripe

Kalde, kvite beingrindsknokar

Krøkje' seg i hop i krokar

Vender seg frå augom mine

Gjømme daudmanns-grinda sine

Å, eg veit da kven du er!

Du som eingong budde her

Du som åtte gard og grund

Du som sleit di sjel isund

For med mannedrap og svik?

Laug og svor og gjømte lik?

Kvifor dreg du med deg følgje?

Treng du hjelp te' noko dølgje?

Kor er han du vart å med?

Ska han alder gje deg fred?

Tung vert straffa di å li’e

Gang att her i alle ti’e

Trø i ring i blodut far

Sjå deg sjøl som den du var

The door 'screams on rusty hinges'

Skrømton 'ansa' ingor stengslo '

Remember to cool off and walk

Keep me awake all night long

In the dark at midnight

Then light a moon stripe

Cold, white skeletal bones

Curl up in hops in hooks

Turns from my augom

Hide their dead man's gate

Oh, I know who you are!

You who eingong bid here

You as eight farms and land

You who beat your soul to pieces

For with manslaughter and betrayal?

Guilds and swearing and hiding corpses?

Why did you go with you?

Do you need help to hide something?

Who is he you were with?

Will he age give you peace?

Heavy host punish you to suffer

Once in a while

Believe in the ring in blooded father

See yourself as who you were
