Våra Minnens Klagosång - Ofdrykkja

En gång då stod skogen grön

Marken bördig, luften skön

Vår vackra sjö nu ligger torr

Och kylan tränger in från norr

Gården står där tyst och tom

Sedan den dag vi fick vår dom

English version:

The forest once stood so green

The soil was fertile, the air was clean

Our pretty lake now lay dry

And from the north cold winds cry

The cabin stands empty and silent

Since our judgement fell so violent

Once upon a time, the forest was green

The soil is fertile, the air is nice

Our beautiful lake is now dry

And the cold is penetrating from the north

The yard is quiet and empty

Since the day we received our verdict

English version:

The forest once stood so green

The soil was fertile, the air was clean

Our pretty lake now lay dry

And from the north cold winds cry

The cabin stands empty and silent

Since our judgment fell so violent
