The rival brothers (Volkslieder (Folksongs), set by P. Grainger) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 On his farm lived a bonder free,
 (Well-born Men.)
 His sons eleven were fair to see.
 (Arngrim's sons from the Blue Country
 Set out for Samsoy.) 

 Hyálmar Champion's a handsome knight,
 (Well-born Men.)
 While Angantyr is but a sorry wight.
 (Arngrim's sons from the Blue Country
 Set out for Samsoy.) 

 Bonder there you sit drinking wine,
 Give me that comely daughter of thine!
 (Well-born Men.)
 If I choose, it is clear to see
 Hyálmar Champion's the man for me!
 (Well-born Men.)

 Arngrim's sons from the Blue Country
 Set out for Samsoy.
