Another sleighing song, on a less serious note:

Losses hortala
er-rocco-raxanen,  /1/
ter i palari
voro lálala,
súli valtea
láma nyelleron.
Alasse men ná nortie
si lóme lírala. /2/

Nyelleron, nyelleron,
hlara lindale!
Yé alasse norties
er-rocco-raxanen! -- Yé!
Nyelleron, nyelleron,
hlara lindale!
Yé alasse norties
er-rocco-raxanen!


/1/ raxa 'drag', *'sleigh'
("drag, n.: ....  An overland conveyance without wheels; a rough kind of sledge"  [OED])

/2/ *si lóme 'tonight', cf. si loa 'this year'

Well... which is the tune?

Matt Dinse Dec 23, 2013 (23:42)

Nicely done - it can be sung to the tune!

You've captured the rhythm perfectly, Björn. Nice!
