En gang sku hu Anne tel kjerka
En unge sku bli døft

Hu gjekk på ski ner Mannaskaret
Ei rett så fæl og
stri ei løype

Langt om lenge kom a seg ned
Men da
mangla brått ungen hue

I skinnpåsa på ryggen hadde
ungen vøri
Kanskje deist borti ei gran eller i berja

"Som om han hadde hue da je drog hjemmantefrå - men je
veit å det ligger hen".

Hennes ektemann
Døktig
klein mot s___ten
Bare låg der

"Men tel s___t
sette je kneet i prøsten på'n og finga i hølamotet, så kom
den hellige Kuds fader og slokte pina".

Samuel, salig
han var
Da'n fôr satt tre svarte Kuds engler og gol

Som korper

Heller ville'n ikke i jorda

Kista vart børi fra skauen ned
Men da dem kom tel
kjerka nær
Nekta hesta plent å gå

Det var
nok'n Hønn-Erik som var på ferde ja.

Translation:

THE FINN HAG

Once Anne had to go to the church
A child had to be baptized

She descended Mannaskaret on skis
A downhill run so dreadful and rapid

Finally she came down
But the child's head was missing

The child was in the skin-bag on her shoulders
Maybe it had hit a spruce or a rock

"As if he had the head from home - but I know where it is"

Her husband
Really sick at the end
Laid there

"But at the end I have put a knee on his breast and fingers around the throat,
so came Holy God Father and extinguished the pain"

Samuel, he was happy
When he saw three black angels of God crow
Like ravens

And he wanted neither to be interred
The coffin was carried through the forest down
But when it came nearby the church
The horses refused absolutely to go on

It was for sure Old Nick in action
