Translation
St. Stephen's Ballad
Stephen was a stable-lad,
- We gladly bid you thanks -
He watered his fine horses five.
- All for the shining star.
Dawn is not yet to be seen,
the stars so bright, in high heaven, they sparkle. -
Quickly is the saddling done,1
- We gladly bid you thanks -
Ere the sun has time to rise.
- All for the shining star.
Dawn is not yet to be seen,
the stars so bright, in high heaven, they sparkle. -
The best dappled grey stallion,2
- We gladly bid you thanks -
Stephen rides himself upon.
- All for the shining star.
Dawn is not yet to be seen,
the stars so bright, in high heaven, they sparkle. -
Ere a person was awake,
- We gladly bid you thanks -
He had reached the forest edge.
- All for the shining star.
Dawn is not yet to be seen,
the stars so bright, in high heaven, they sparkle. -
In the foul wolf's tracks,
- We gladly bid you thanks -
Quickly and fearlessly he goes.
- All for the shining star.
Dawn is not yet to be seen,
the stars so bright, in high heaven, they sparkle. -
