Testo I manens favn Kari RUESLÅTTEN

I manens favn

[In the Moon's embrace]

Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?

Da hun sa han i dansen den aller forste dag
Sang hennes hjerte og lo hennes sjel, og lo hennes sjel
Det var han hun skulle ha

Hun hadde aldri sett slik ynde i en mann
Og dansen gikk pa vollen, pa vollen
Det var han hun skulle ha

Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?

Han sa, "skjonne kvinne, kom over hit
Hor, vil du vel gifte deg, gifte deg
med meg sa ung jeg er"

Hun ble nok blendet av hans sjarm og hans sote ord
For da hun vaknet den andre dag, den andre dag
Fant hun sengen tom

Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?

Sa kom den tredje dagen, og med den den tredje natt
og dansen gikk pa vollen, pa vollen
Han danset som om ingenting var hendt

[ENGLISH]
Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
(will trap you and you will be mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?)

When she saw him dancing the very first day
Sang her heart and laugh did her soul, and laugh did her soul
It was him she would have

She had never seen such grace in a man
And the dance was on the rampart, on the rampart
It was him she would have

Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
will trap you and you'll become mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?

He said, "beautiful woman, come over here
Listen, will you pledge your troth, pledge your troth
to me, though young I am"

She certainly was blinded by his charm and his sweet words
For when she awoke the second day, the second day
She found the bed empty

Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
will trap you and you'll become mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?

Then came the third day, and with that the third night
and the dance was on the rampart, on the rampart
He danced as if nothing had happened
