And am so handsome a guy
Now I want to go and get married
And clear a place for a farmI live up-under mountains
And the girl I have pledged myself to
I didn't let her down eitherMy name is Haavard Hedde
And live up-under peak
Now I want to go and get marriedI live below mountains
And the girl I have pledged myself to
I didn't let her down eitherYes, the farm it is small
But the forest, it is good
There I have two pines
And they shall stand in peaceWhen the children become many
and I owe more and more money
Then I chop one down
The second can be for nowBut when we become old
and each shall have it's own
Then I chop the second down
And the forest is gone
