Original lyrics
Turið Torkilsdóttir
Vatnið rennur av høgum fjøllum
Og eftir hvøssum gróti
So ilt er at leggja ást við hann
Ið onga leggur ímóti
Dagurin líður, náttin kemur
Dimmir á jørð so fríða
Í morgin saðlum hestar dyst at ríða.
"Tað er so vánt í tínum landi
tí har er veður og vindur
Nògv betri er í Noregs fjøllum
tú ástir við meg bindur."
Dagurin líður, náttin kemur
Dimmir á jørð so fríða
Í morgin saðlum hestar dyst at ríða.
Fylgdi hon honum so langt á leið
Til gøtur tóku at skilja
"Tað, ið eg vendi aftur frá tar
Tað er ei við mín vilja."
Dagurin líður, náttin kemur
Dimmir á jørð so fríða
Í morgin saðlum hestar dyst at ríða.
Turið situr í Noregs fjøllum
Hon vekir harm og pínu
So møðig fellur hon blóðig tár
Á báðar armar sínar
Dagurin líður, náttin kemur
Dimmir á jørð so fríða
Í morgin saðlum hestar dyst at ríða.

Translation
Turid, Daughter of Torkil
Water runs off high mountains
And along sharp rocks
So painfull it is to love him
Who doesn't love you back
The day goes by, night comes
Darkness falls on fair ground
Tomorrow let us saddle the horses for a race
"Your land is so unpleasant
For there is bad weather and wind.
Much better it is in the mountains of Norway
To stay here in love with me."
The day goes by, night comes
Darkness falls on fair ground
Tomorrow let us saddle the horses for a race
She followed him so far on his way
Until paths went separate ways.
"When I turn away from you now
It is against my will."
The day goes by, night comes
Darkness falls on fair ground
Tomorrow let us saddle the horses for a race
Turið sits in the mountains of Norway
She invokes harm and pain
So mournfully she drops bloody tears
Down both her arms
The day goes by, night comes
Darkness falls on fair ground
Tomorrow let us saddle the horses for a race
