Hårgalåten Lyrics (Swedish): Spelmannen drog fiol ur lådan och lyfte stråken högt mot söndagssolens kula. Då blev det fart på Horgafolket, de glömde Gud och hela världen Dansen gick på äng och backar, högt uppå Horgaåsens topp. Man slet ut båd' skor och klackar, aldrig fick man på dansen stopp. Varifrån kommer du som spelar, säg vem har lärt dig detta spel det vilda galna? Stannar du inte brister hjärtat, å Gud bevare han har bockfot! Klockorna hade ringt i dalen, och där gick far och mor och bror till socken kyrkan. Var kan nu Horgas ungdom vara, å herregud de dansar ännu! Dansen gick till Horgalåten, högt uppå Horgaåsens topp. man har nu inte långt till gråten, dansar nu sönder både själ och kropp. Hejda din stråke spelman innan, vi dansar liv och själ och alla ben ur kroppen. Nej inte slutar han sin dans förrän allesammans faller döda! Hårgalåten English translation: The fiddler grabbed the fiddle from it's case and lifted his bow towards the dawning Sunday sun Then the people of Hårga became in a hurry They forgot about God and the whole world The dance went on meadows and hills high upon the top of the ridge of Hårga One wore out both shoes and heels One could not stop the dance Where do you come from, you who is playing Tell us who have taught you this way to play, so wild and mad If you don't stop our hearts will burst Oh God preserve us, he has a cloven hoof! The bells had rung in the valley, And father and mother and brother walked to the parish church Where can Hårgas youths now be? Oh my God, they are still dancing! The dance went to the Hårga tune High up on the top of the ridge of Hårga They are not far from crying Now,when dancing, they wore through both soul and body Stop your bow, fiddler Before we dance out life and soul and bones No he doesn't stop his dance Until we all fall dead down

The wind is fair, the tide is high And swiftly, swiftly runs the time My boat lies waiting on the tide That carries me from Fiunary We must up and haste away We must up and haste away We must up and haste away Farewell, farewell to Fiunary A thousand, thousand tender ties Awake this day, my plaintive sighs My heart within me almost dies With the thought of leaving Fiunary We must up and haste away We must up and haste away We must up and haste away Farewell, farewell to Fiunary But I must leave those happy vales See how they fill the spreading sails Adieu Adieu my native dales Farewell, farewell to Fiunary We must up and haste away We must up and haste away We must up and haste away Farewell, farewell to Fiunary We must up and haste away We must up and haste away We must up and haste away Farewell, farewell to Fiunary
