Merrigan - Hårgalåten (Folk music)

This deceptively happy-sounding song is about the time when the Devil himself visited the town of Hårga, and played his fiddle until all the youth danced themselves to death. I thought it'd be appropriate for the season!

Lyrics translation:
The fiddler pulled his fiddle out of its case and
Raised his bow to the rising Sunday sun
Then the people of Harga got excited
They forgot God and the whole world.

The dance took place in the meadows and slopes
High up on the peak of the Harga Mountain
They wore out both shoes and heels
Never getting the dance to stop.

Where do you come from fiddler?
Tell us who has taught you this wild and crazy melody?
If you don't stop now our hearts will burst
Oh God forbid, he has a hoof.

The bells rang in the valley and there went
Father and mother and brother to the parish church
Where can the youth of Harga be now?
Oh my God, they're still dancing!

They were dancing to the Harga song
High up on the Harga mountain peak
Tears aren't far off
While dancing, they wore through both body and soul.

Stop your bow fiddler, before we
Dance life and soul and all the bones out of our bodies
No, he won't stop the dance before
Everyone falls down dead.
