Ellindur Bondi A Jadri Lyrics & Chords By Tyr

Ellindur Bóndi á Jaðri
Flestøll munnu hann muna
Hann var so væl til barna komin
Tríati átti hann synir
Her er gott at dansa
Ellindur stendur á hallargólvi
Eingin talar orð
Hann skeyt fyri sín riddaraskjøldur
Niðast vidð kongsinns bordð
Her er gott at dansa
Stovan hon er nýggj
Stokkar eru av stáli gjørdir
Og tekjan er av blýggj
Her er gott at dansa
Eg havi upp við skatti alið
Tríati synir baldar,
Lívið mítt og góðsið alt
Tað er í tygara valdi
Her er gott at dansa
Fimtan skulu eftir vera
Bóndi, av synum tínum
Annaðslíkt skal aftur fara
Og gleða móður sína
Her er gott at dansa
Stovan hon er nýggj
Stokkar eru av stáli gjørdir
Og tekjan er av blýggj
Her er gott at dansa
[English Translation:]
Ellindur farmer east on Jaðri
Most people may remember him
He had so many children
He had thirty sons
It's good to dance here
Ellindur stands in the hall
Nobody says a wod
He threw his knight shield
Down by the Kings table
It's good to dance here
The hall is new
The beams are made of steel
And the roof is of lead
It's good to dance here
With tax I have raised
Thirty bold sons
My life and my estates
I leave in your command
It's good to dance here
Fifteen shall remain
Famer, of your sons
The same amount shall return
And make their mother happy
It's good to dance here
The hall is new
The beams are made of steel
And the roof is of lead
It's good to dance here
