Lyrics
Olav Digre dro ut I verden
For lukke of rikdom søke
Han lot seg kristne av skallede menn
Sem Jehovahs folk ville �?ke.
For Olav han var ingen ærlig mann
Han var fæl til dytte og spøke.
Og de kritne fortalte hitoriene hans,
For at Jehovas folk skulle øke.
Tilbake til Norge vendte han
Med en bestukket hær.
For med penger og gull, med sverd og slakt
Skulle han snart vokse sed svær.
Til slutt ble Norge kristnet med makt,
En kulturarv gikk mot sin grav.
Det kan vi takke Olav Digre og hans menn,
Svindlerne p de sju hav.
For liket til Digre vokste ennu,
Selv om hans sjel var I Helheim.
Nei, løgnene fortsatte til evig tid,
Men sannheten banet veien.
Ja, at fjell kunne splittes og jotner drepas
Det var jo ikke helt sant.
Men for Olav var dumme historier og løgn
Ett virkenmiddel lik kamp.
Lyrics translation
Olav Bulre went out into the world
For the close of wealth seek
He allowed himself Christians of bald men
Sem Jehovah's people would �?ke.
For Olav he was no honest man
He was bad at pushing and joking.
And the criticists told his hitories,
In order for Jehovah's people to increase.
Back to Norway he returned
With a bribed Army.
For with money and gold, with sword and slaughter
Should he soon grow sed swearing.
In the end, Norway was Christianized by force,
A cultural heritage went towards his grave.
We can thank Olav Bulre and his men,
The swindlers p the Seven Seas.
For the corpse of bulbous grew Enna,
Although his soul was in Helheim.
No, the lies continued forever,
But the truth paved the way.
Yes, that mountain could be split and jotner drepas
It was not entirely true.
But for Olav were stupid stories and lies
One means of action equal fight.
