Question about Per Tyrssons Döttar I Vänge

[AngelOfMusic]

I'm a bit confused about one part in the song Per Tyrssons Döttar I Vänge:

Now, after Per Trysson slays the two oldest robers, he asks the third one who his father and mother is.  The third one answers that Per Trysson and Fru Karin are his parents (according to the translation I have.)  So were the robbers the brothers of the three girls, then?

Maybe the translation I have isn't very clear.

Also, on this part: "Per Tyrsson went to the smithy and forged himself iron round his waist."  Does this mean that he placed the iron around the remaining robber and made said robber build the church?  Like I said, the translation is kind of...rough, I think.  Either that, or I'm just being dense.

Either way, a little clarity would help.

Thanks!

It's written in a way that not eaven a dude from Sweden know what it means.  :?

Oups! That was me.

[Radagast]

Yeah, isn't it written in 'Olde Swedish'?

Or did I just make that up?

Yeah... I'm also having trouble understanding it all...

It's pretty old Swedish, and Mathias pronounces some of the words in a really special dialect, but what is so hard to understand?

I dunno... my point was, its harder to understand than swedish usually is to a dane like me...



 

[The Black Knight]

Ah, I see!

[AngelOfMusic]

At least I'm not the only one confused!  I don't feel quite as stupid now.  :P

Maybe someone can convince Matthias to join the board and he can fill us in?  (and by us, I mean me.  Heeeee! :D)

Great song, even with a drum machine (which I loathe).. I love the bass intro tho, kinda reminds me of Jethro Tull's 'Bouree'... 8)

[The Black Knight]

What drum machine?

[Stefan W]

Drum machine??? There were no drum machine on any Falconer album.

[Radagast]

Ha! Didn't think so.

Silly guest...

Sorry Stefan...  :oops: I thought it was a drum machine on that one song, because it has a sharp, synthetic sound to my ears & more of a simple & sparse, or "blocky" drum pattern if you will... at least, when compared to the rest of your songs....  I still love the song though!   :D

As a matter of fact, I happened to think that "Clarion Call" had synthetic drums first time I listened to it. Then I realized that Karsten is one heck of a drummer.
