Bonden og Kragen
The Farmer and the Crow
Den
bonde
han
ganger
sig
ud
i
den
skov
The
farmer,
he
walks
into
the
forest
Fa-da-læ,
sig
ud
i
den
skov
Fa-da-la,
into
the
forest
Der
så
han
en
krage,
som
sad
og
sov
There
he
sees
a
crow,
sitting
and
sleeping
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Og
bonden
sat
buen
alt
for
sit
knæ,
And
the
farmer
puts
the
bow
before
his
knee,
Fa-da-læ,
for
sit
knæ
Fa-da-la,
before
his
knee
Så
skød
han
den
krage
ned
fra
det
træ.
He
shoots
the
crow
down
from
the
tree.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Og
bonden
sat
buen
for
sin
fod,
And
the
farmer
puts
the
bow
at
his
feet,
Fa-da-læ,
for
sin
fod
Fa-da-la,
at
his
feet
Så
skød
han
den
krage
til
hjerteblod.
He
shoots
the
crow
to
its
heart's
blood.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Og
der
kom
bud
fra
bisbens
gård:
And
there
came
a
message
from
the
bishop's
court:
Fa-da-læ,
bisbens
gård
Fa-da-la,
bishop's
court
"Hvad
gjorde
du
med
kragen,
du
skød
i
går?"
"What
did
you
do
with
the
crow
you
shot
yesterday?"
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Af
hovedet
da
gjorde
jeg
kirkeknap,
From
its
head
I
made
a
church
button,
Fa-da-læ,
kirkeknap
Fa-da-la,
church
button
Af
næbbet
gjorde
jeg
tøndetap.
From
its
beak
I
made
a
barrel
tap.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Af
fjerene
tækked'
jeg
hele
mit
hus,
From
its
feathers
I
thatched
my
whole
house,
Fa-da-læ,
hele
mit
hus
Fa-da-la,
my
whole
house
Af
hjertet
gjorde
jeg
drikkekrus.
From
its
heart
I
made
a
drinking
cup.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Af
skroget
gjorde
jeg
et
godt
skib,
From
the
hull
I
made
a
good
ship,
Fa-da-læ,
et
godt
skib
Fa-da-la,
a
good
ship
Det
bedste
som
ud
i
fjorden
gik.
The
best
that
sailed
in
the
fjord.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Af
tarmene
gjorde
jeg
takkel
og
reb,
From
the
intestines
I
made
tackle
and
rope,
Fa-da-læ,
takkel
og
reb
Fa-da-la,
tackle
and
rope
Af
benene
gjorde
jeg
møgegreb.
From
the
bones
I
made
a
manure
fork.
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
Fa-da-læ,
fa-da-da-da-læ
Fa-da-la,
fa-da-da-da-la
