Ged Fox Stories and songs about bears (52* d) RE: Stories and songs about bears 13 Feb 20


Langt i auster i krákalund
dar er sá fager ein bý,
alle dei dýr i verda er
dei sankast daruti.
Bjönnen han er yppaste kar uti skógin.

Far in the east in Croakerland
There is the fairest of towns;
All of the animals in the wood
Stomp stomp stomp up and down;
The big brown bear is the handsomest chap in the forest.

So begins the Ravna-bryllaup uti Krákalund, the Raven's Wedding. I've used the first verse as a lullaby for all my grandchildren, but what happened to the bear at the wedding I have no idea. Perhaps the answer is in verse 31 -

Bjönnen vart han rusande
kukka han i si brók:
sume dei hava ded late pá seg
dei grua, dei fær inki nok.
Laukin er ded yppaste gras i skógin.
