Olav Olav

Olav, Olav, kyre di er dau!
Kyre heve kalva og kalven er raud Olav, Olav, kaup deg att ei kyr!
Nei, svara Olav ho blir meg for dyr
Olav, Olav, kaup deg ein stut!
Nei, svara Olav, eg blir ingen fut
Olav, Olav, kyre di er dau!
Kyre heve kalva og kalven er raud Olav, Olav, kaup deg ei geit!
Nei, svara Olav, ho blir ikkje feit
Olav, Olav, kaup deg ein sau!
Nei, svara Olav, han ligge snart dau
Olav, Olav, kaup deg ein gard!
Nei, svara Olav, den fær eg av far
Olav, Olav, kaup deg ein hest!
Ja, svara Olav, den tener meg best.
Ja, den tener meg best.
Olav, Olav, kyre di er dau!

Olav Olav

Olav, Olav, your cow is dead!
The cow has calved and the calf is red, Olav, Olav, buy yourself another cow!
No, replies Olav, it would be too expensive for me
Olav, Olav, buy yourself a bull!
No, replies Olav, I don’t want to be a simpleton
Olav, Olav, your cow is dead!
The cow has calved and the calf is red, Olav, Olav, buy yourself a goat!
No, replies Olav, it will not get fat
Olav, Olav, buy yourself a sheep!
No, replies Olav, it will soon be dead
Olav, Olav, buy yourself a farm!
No, replies Olav, I will get one from my father
Olav, Olav, buy yourself a horse!
Yes, replies Olav, that would be most useful to me.
Yes, that would be most useful to me.
Olav, Olav, your cow is dead!
