Han Enok Staur - Staut

Ho Guri Ruud, ho sleit ska du tru

åleine som ho va

Bodde langt frå følk, ilag med fe

å fø på all sin dag

Va stiv og støl men sku klare se sjøl

Va fast bestemt på det

Sku 'kji drasse rundt på mannebein

som kløyvde ro og fred

Ho Guri Ruud sku bygge se bu

Ho hadde tuft og stein

Og i seige tak vart stein te mur

mens saltvåt skalle skein

Vart stiv og støl men sku klare det sjøl

Ho trudde iallfall det

Men då økse fastna i grånskinnleggen

seig ho ned i kne

Då va’det som ei hengemyr

Ho trong eit nevatak

Og når nok va nok, va’n Enok nok

Han stod der rett og rak

Han Enok Staur med neva og bart

han va bygd før lass men ikkji fart

Tålde ein, tålde to, tålde tre, tålde alt

Så va’n te låns den dagen det gjaldt

Ho Guri Ruud fekk bu ska du tru

No vanta berre tak

Og ska’n få se tak må'n ta eit tak

Då hjølp 'kji ro og mak

Stegin opp va dobbelt så lang

Som den ho stega ned

Ho sleit se opp ein siste gong

men take lak før det

Ho kleiv som i ei hengemyr

Ho trong eit nevatak

Og når nok va nok, va’n Enok nok

Han stod der rett og rak

Ho Guri Ruud, ho sleit you should believe

alone as she was

Lived far from foals, together with cattle

to feed all day

Was stiff and stiff but could see himself

Was determined to do so

Sku 'kji dragging around on man's legs

which cleaved calm and peace

Ho Guri Ruud sku build se bu

She had tufts and stones

And in a tough roof, stone became wall

while salt-soaked shallots

Was stiff and stiff but managed to do it myself

At least she thought so

But then the ax got stuck in the gray skin

tough ho down to the knees

Then it was like a bog

She needed a knee replacement

And when enough was enough, Enoch was enough

He stood there straight and straight

He Enok Staur with neva and mustache

he was built before load but no speed

Tolerated one, tolerated two, tolerated three, tolerated all

So va'n te was borrowed on the day it mattered

Ho Guri Ruud got bu, can you believe

Now all we need is a roof

And if you want to see a roof, you have to take a roof

Then 'kji ro and mak helped

The step up was twice as long

Like the one he descended

She looked up one last time

but take lak before that

She climbed as if in a bog

She needed a knee replacement

And when enough was enough, Enoch was enough

He stood there straight and straight
