also, there are 2 versions. the Arnsteins Version and Kirsten Bråten Berg's version. I like Kirsten's the best, but because Youtube wouldn't respect Folk Artists, I had to use the Arnsteins version. The Lyrics may change, but this is for Kirsten's version

Norwegian Lyrics (I had to edit some of them because of Grammar issues)

Jeg gikk met I lunden grønn møtte jente skjønnhet

vil du bli min venn

I lunden grønn møtte jente skjønnhet

vil du være min venn (x2)

Vil du følge meg hjem?

vil du bli min venn

da blir jeg din.

Vil du bli med meg hjem,

vil du bli min venn

da blir jeg din.

Jeg gikk ut i den grønne lunden

ingen møtte meg der

og vi vil være vennen min

og følg meg hjem.

SYNG FAR- SYNG FADDIRALLA, SYNG FAR OG FADDIRALL-LA-LEI

og vi du være min venn

   og følg meg hjem.

   Hallgrim Berg tekst og melodi

Jeg gikk ut i den grønne lunden

der møtte jeg en vakker pika

og vi vil være vennen min

og følg meg hjem.

SYNG FAR- SYNG FADDIRALLA, SYNG FAR OG FADDIRALL-LA-LEI

   og vi du være min venn

og følg meg hjem.

Du får svar om åtte dager

når jeg må spørre mor og far

og hvis det er din vilje

da blir jeg din......

SYNG FAR- SYNG FADDIRALLA, SYNG FAR OG FADDIRALL-LA-LEI

og hvis det er din vilje

da blir jeg din......syng...

Når det gikk åtte dager

og pika selv en annen tar

et forespørselsbrev han skrev til meg

ho sviki har vennen sin....

SYNG FAR- SYNG FADDIRALLA, SYNG FAR OG FADDIRALL-LA-LEI

et forespørselsbrev han skrev til meg

ho sviki har vennen sin....

Farvel min far, farvel min mor

farvel min søster og lilla bror

nå reiser jeg til et fremmed land

kom mer igjen……

SYNG FAR- SYNG FADDIRALLA, SYNG FAR OG FADDIRALL-LA-LEI

nå reiser jeg til et fremmed land

kom alli mer igjen

English Lyrics (translated by me)

I walked met In the green grove met a beautiful girl  will you be my friend In the grove green I met a beautiful girl will you be my friend (x2) Will you follow me home? will you be my friend then I'll be yours. Do you want to come home with me, will you be my friend then I'll be yours. I went out into the green grove no one met me there and we will be my friend and follow me home. SING FATHER- SING FADDIRALLA, SING FATHER AND FADDIRALL-LA-LEI and we you be my friend and follow me home. Hallgrim Berg's text and melody I went out into the green grove there I met a beautiful girl and we will be my friend and follow me home. SING FATHER- SING FADDIRALLA, SING FATHER AND FADDIRALL-LA-LEI and we you be my friend and follow me home. You will receive an answer in eight days when I have to ask mother and father and if it is your will then I'll be yours...... SING FATHER- SING FADDIRALLA, SING FATHER AND FADDIRALL-LA-LEI and if it is your will then I'll be yours......sing... When eight days passed and girl yet another takes a letter of inquiry he wrote to me he has a friend... SING FATHER- SING FADDIRALLA, SING FATHER AND FADDIRALL-LA-LEI a letter of inquiry he wrote to me hr has his friend....

Yeah

This is like one of the only few love songs (besides Herr Mannelig by Garmarna and Einn by Helene Boksle) that actually are a 10/10.
