Olav Digre went out in the world
For the search of happiness and wealth
He got baptized by hairless men
who wanted that Jehovah's people would increase.
For Olav he was no honest man
He used to fabricate* and joke.
And the christians told his stories to,
so the people of Jehovah would increase.
Back to Norway, he turned
With a corrupt army.
For with money and gold, with sword and slaughter
Should he soon grow big
Finally, Norway was Christianized by force,
A heritage went to her grave.
for that we can thank Olav Digre and his men,
scammers on the seven seas.
For the body to Digre grew still
Even though his soul was in Helheim.
No, the lies continued for ever,
But the truth paved the road.
Yes, that could split mountains and giants killed
It was not quite true.
But for Olaf, stupid stories and lies
was one instrument as good as a battle.
