(Norwegian folk tune)
My name is Håvard Hedde and I'm such a friendly fellow
Now I want to go away to get married and clear a farm.
I live under a mountain
And the girl I promise
I won't let her down.
My name is Håvard Hedde and I live up under Nut.
Now I want to go away and get married, I don't want to go boy.
I live under a mountain
And the girl I promise
I will never let her down.
The garden is small, but the forest is good.
There I raise two furrows, and they shall stand still.
I live under a mountain
And the girl I promise
I will not let her down.
When the children become many, and the debts increase
Then I cut one down, the other she left standing.
I live under a mountain
And I promise the girl
I will not let her down.
But when we are old, and who will have his
Then I cut down the other one, and then the forest is gone.
I live under a mountain
And I promise the girl
I will not fail her. br/>It was no wonder that Håvard was in pain
He left Lanjei on the dark autumn night.
I live under the mountain
And I promised the girl
I won't let her down luck.
He traveled from Lanjei, and then the girl had a party,
But it was with someone else, he was the most reluctant.
I live under a mountain
And the girl I raised promise
I won't let him down.
