by Arne Garborg (1851 - 1924)

Eg hev som vigde Mammons Træl
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Eg hev som vigde Mammons Træl
for vesal Vinning selt mi Sjæl;
for dette arme Stykkje Jord
eg fraa meg Fred og Frelse svor.
No finn eg aldri Heim og Hamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!

Den ut er dømd or Himmelrik'
som her i Verdi gjorde Svik;
han miste Ord, han miste Tru
og kan kje millom Vener bu.
No veglaus driv min brotne Stamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!

Eg gjekk som ærelause Svein
og flutte denne Deildestein;
eg braut mitt Ord, eg braut mi Tru
og kan kje millom Vener bu.
Eg finn kje Fred og Faderfamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!
