Ramund var sig en bedre mand
om han havde bedre klder
Dronningen gav hannem klder p stand
af blgarn, bast og
lder
Sdant vil jeg ikke ha, sagde Ramund.
Sdant str mig ikke bra, sagde Ramund hin unge
Ramund gik sig ved salten
sstrand
der s han syv jtter stande
Tager jeg Ramund p min mindste hnd
og kaster ham langt fra lande
Det gr ikke ene du, sagde
Ramund
I m komme alle syv, sagde Ramund hin unge
Ramund tog til sit dyre svrd
det han kaldte dymlingen rde
Hug han de
jtter syv med en frd
at blodet randt dennem til dde
Der ligger alle syv, sagde Ramund
Alt str jeg her endnu, sagde Ramund hin
unge
Kejseren ud af vinduet s
med angst og sorrigfuld mine
Hvo er den mand, i grden mon st
og der s hsselig grine?
Det
er mig, jeg har lyst, sagde Ramund
Med dig at vov en dyst, sagde Ramund hin unge
Ramund tog til sin store kniv
den han kaldte
dymlingen dyre
Skilte han kejseren ved hans liv
at hovedet flj femten mile
Jeg mente den ej bed, sagde Ramund
Dog rinder
blodet ned, sagde Ramund hin unge
[Translation:]
The Young Raymond
Raymond was a better man
if he was better
clad
The queen gave him fine clothes
of blueyarn, bast and leather
I do not want such, said Raymond
It does not suit me, said
the yound Raymond
Raymond walked along the salty beach
There he saw seven giants standing
I will take Raymond on my smallest
hand.
And throw him far offshore
You will not do that alone, said Raymond
You must come all seven of you, said the
young
Raymond
Raymond took his dear sword
The one he called the red Dimling
He hew the seven giants simultaneously
So
that they bled to death
There they lie, all seven of them, said Raymond
And I still stand here, said the young Raymond
The
Emperor looked out the window
In fright and with a sad face
Who is that man that stands in the yard
and laughs so terribly
It
is I, and I would like, said Raymond
To challenge you to fight, said the young Raymond
Raymond took his large knife
The one
he called the dear Dimling
He took the Emperors Life
So that the head flew fifteen miles
I thought it was blunt, said
Raymond
And yet the blood flows, said the yound Raymond
