It's already been over 5 years since "Valkyrja" was released! Anyway, great band. I own all their albums and saw them live with Moonsorrow in Vienna, Austria back in 2011. That was pretty epic, despite the venue being one of the worst in Vienna.

Týr - Konning Hans

Lyrics:

Konning Hans han sidder på København,
han lader de lønnebrev skrive.
Sender han dem til Nørrejylland,
Erik Ottesøn lover at give.
Der kommer aldrig saa rig en dronning til Dannemark.

Du bede godt for de fattige enker,
som faderløse børn skulle føde.
Du bede godt for de fattige fanger,
lad dem i tårnet ej dø.
Der kommer aldrig saa rig en dronning til Dannemark.

Og skatte du ikke den fattige bonde,
jeg det ikke have vil.
Men fattes dig enten guld eller sølv,
du sige din fader til.
Der kommer aldrig saa rig en dronning til Dannemark.

|

English:

King Hans sits in Copenhagen
He lets the secret letters be written
He sends them to norhtern Jutland
And promises to give to Erik Otteson
Never will an equally rich queen come to Denmark.

Bid well for the poor widows
That fatherless children my bear
Bid well for the poor prisoners
Let them not perish in the tower
Never will an equally rich queen come to Denmark.

And tax not the poor farmer
I do not wish that
But if you be in need of gold or silver
Then let you father know
Never will an equally rich queen come to Denmark.
