Hello all, I don't know whether anyone can help me with this. I'm listening to Arve Moen Bergset's nystev, and trying to get the lyrics. Nystev are often very short traditional songs from Norway, often or usually in dialect. Here are links to him singing this particular nystev, first as a child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLEvic28ICs And later after his voice has broken. He sings several stev here, it's the second one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZHdV_lZrmM This is what I think, but there are some bits I don't get. Any Norwegian speakers able to help out here? I Vinje socken er håge nutar (In Vinje parish there are high hills) Å kjempe karer å gasta gutar (And fit lads and strong boys) Man ås ur vetten der gåsen ti (???) På Kongsberg marken der gjeng en fri (At Kongsberg market where one walks free) På Kongsberg marken der gjeng en fri Å bøgran ligger på håge hampar (And ??? is on the high ??hemp??) Å gutane liksom graute stampar (And the boys have porridge?) Dei skynder upp å dei skynder ne (They hurry up and they hurry down) Å styvne er dei å ande te (And they are stupid and ??) Å styvne er dei å ande te
