Lyrics

Svein Svane han reiste den vegen sa lang
Sa møtte han pa vegen ein vandrande mann
Høyr du vandrande mann, hva jeg sier til deg
Gi meg svar pa de spørsmal jeg forlanger av deg
Hvem er sa rundar' enn rundaste hjul?
Og hvem sjunger vakrast av all kreatur?
Og hvem er sa hvitere enn svanen?
Og hvem roper høyere enn tranen?
Jau, manen er rundar' enn rundaste hjul
Og engelen sjunger vakrast ut av all kreatur
Og sneen den er hvitere enn svanen
Og torden ropar høgare enn tranen
Og hvem kan sa bygge den breiaste bro?
Og hvem strider mest i den strideste flod?
Hvor hen gar sa veien den brede?
Og hvor gar na dem som er nede?
Jau, isen den bygger den breiaste bro
Og fisken strider mest i den strideste flod
Til helvete gar veien den brede
Og dit gar nu dem som er nede

Lyrics translation

Svein Swan he traveled the road said long
Said he met on the road a vandrande mann
Do you hear vandrande mann, what I say to you
Give me answers on the question I require of you
Who is said rundar' than rundaste wheel?
And who sings beautifully of all creativity?
And who is said whiter than Swan?
And who shouts louder than the tranen?
Jau, the moon is circular' than runddaste wheel
And the angel shuns beautifully out of all creativity
And snow it is whiter than the Swan
And thunder roars louder than the Trane
And who can said build the broadest bridge?
And who quarrels the most in the most warlike flood?
Where goes said the way the wide?
And where goes na those who are down?
Jau, the ice it builds the broadest bridge
And the fish roar the most in the most warlike River
To hell goes the way the wide
And there goes now those who are down
