Eg fòr vilt i veduskogin kringum ein elvesteine, jutuldottri narrad meg, eg fann inkji vegin heim. Eg fòr vilt i veduskogin kringum ein elve-runne, jutuldottri narrad meg, eg hev inkji vegen funnid. Eg hev vorid med jutulen og jutulen etter meg rann, gentunn sa', eg lokkad dei, um eg dei aldri fann. Eg hev vorid med jutulen og jutulen etter meg låg, gentunn sa', eg lokkad dei, um eg dei aldri såg. Fiskin uti fagran vatni, og sildi søkir hav, mang ein helsar mågin sin og veit så litid af. Fiskin uti fagren vatni, og ikonn up i tre, alle så heve dei makamann, men ingin så heve eg. Eg fòr vilt i veduskogin kringum ein elvesteine, jutuldottri narrad meg, eg fann inkji vegin heim.
