Jeg red mig udi lunde
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Jeg red mig udi lunde, jeg sejled over sjø; det var sig i mit væne hjem, der fæsted jeg min mø. Det var den alfekvinde, hun er så led og gram: ret aldrig skal den jomfru skær til kirken følge ham. Hør mig, du alfekvinde, lad fare det besvær; to hjerter kan ej skilles ad, som har hinanden kær!

Gudmunds zweiter Gesang Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Ich fuhr wohl über Wasser Und in die Ferne weit, Als ich zurück zur Heimet kam, Freit'ich die schönste Maid. Es war die Elfenfraue, Die tät's mit Zürnen seh'n, Und nimmer soll sein feines Lieb Mit ihm zur Kirche geh'n. Hör'an, du Elfenfraue, Laß fahren die Beschwer! Zwei Herzen, die sich lieben, Die trennst du nimmermehr!
