Kari Rueslatten - I Manens Favn (translation)

Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
(will trap you and you will be mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?)

When she saw him dancing the very first day
Sang her heart and laugh did her soul, and laugh did her soul
It was him she would have

She had never seen such grace in a man
And the dance was on the rampart, on the rampart
It was him she would have

Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
will trap you and you'll become mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?

He said, "beautiful woman, come over here
Listen, will you pledge your troth, pledge your troth
to me, though young I am"

She certainly was blinded by his charm and his sweet words
For when she awoke the second day, the second day
She found the bed empty

Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
will trap you and you'll become mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?

Then came the third day, and with that the third night
and the dance was on the rampart, on the rampart
He danced as if nothing had happened
