Ridom, ridom [English translation]

Ride, Ride, Ride over the sand

The sun goes down beyond Arnafell

The darkness makes shadows in the sand

The ghosts come when the night comes

The lord leads my pace

Yet, it is long untill yard and gate

The lord leads my pace

Yet, it is long untill yard and gate

The fox howls, howls at the back of the mountain

The sheep flees, afraid of his claw

but who is calling, crying out of the dust of the earth?

The king of the mountain comes out of his home

He leaves, secretly and outlaw

Hunting like the fox that may be lost1

He leaves, secretly and outlaw

Hunting like the fox that may be lost

The fairy queen dances on the sand

Ride away, yes ride away, if you love your life

Flee from the beautiful hands of the fairy queen2

She is eager to turn the riders' souls into prisoners

I would offer my best horse

If I could go back to Kidagil

I would offer my best horse

If I could go back to Kidagil

1. 'får' means sheep and vilsna means 'misguided', but 'vilsna får' means 'may be lost'. It's a little confusing some I'm not sure if that's the right translation.2. 'fagra' either means 'beautiful' or 'fair'
