Reiar - Myrkur

Reiar var drukken og liden forstod

I bordet han slog

Han slog så i bordet så folket det græd

På væggen det revnede og loftet faldt ned

Og den som sluger vin og i rus

Forstyrrer sit hus

Ja brændevin forstyrrer på vid og forstand

Man glemmer sin kone med barnet i favn

Reiar han ville til pigerne gå

På gangeren grå

Med bidsel og saddel og sving dig oppå

Du skal ride til kirke du skal ikke gå

Reiar sad oppe ved bordet og

Åd og pigerne så

Med uldne sokker og brunmålte sko

Hvor reiar han lo, hvor reiar han lo

Du reiar du reiar du var mig så staut

Men du frier som et naut

Du kunne vel spørge om jeg dig ville ha'

Jeg kunne dig lide og svare dig ja

Når reiar han lyste sin brud som en mand

3,000 det sprang

Et bæger af sølv gav han bruden i hånd

Og bruden i glæde i senge hun sprang

Reiar was drunk and little understood

At the table he struck

He then slammed the table so the people cried

On the wall it cracked and the ceiling fell down

And he who swallows wine and intoxicates

Disturbs his house

Yes brandy disturbs in a wide and sensible way

You forget your wife with the child in your arms

Reiar he wanted to go to the girls

In the hallway gray

With bit and saddle and swing up

You must ride to church you must not go

Reiar sat up at the table and

Ate and the girls watched

With woolen socks and brown-painted shoes

Where did he laugh, where did he laugh

You reiar you reiar you were me so staut

But you are courting like a bull

You could probably ask if I wanted you '

I liked you and answer you yes

When reiar he shone his bride like a man

3,000 it ran

He handed the bride a silver cup

And the bride in joy in the beds she jumped
