The fox stood scratching inside the cave
her lier uti nipp sagde reven.
Steffa Maure (the bear) grabbed his tail and pulled
for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.
And Kranselin (the cow) didn´t arrive until the tail slipped (out of the bears grip)
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
Oh dear Steffa Maure give me some time
her lier uti nipp sagde reven.
Until I can write down my last Will
for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.
And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
To the fut* I give my pelt
her lier uti nipp sagde reven.
He likes to line his hat/hood with it
for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.
And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
To the scribe I give my klaw
her lier uti nipp sagde reven.

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
To the priest I give my tounge

And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
To the skyss-skaffer** i give my foot

for bonden slenger vipp uti tirumtapp.
And Kranselin didn´t arrive until the tail slipped
Steffe maure with his rosy red hide
Won over Kranselin
