4200:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,075So she should be brought up well
4300:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,759I had evil dreams last night
4400:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,069You mortify your flesh too much

-On a week day?
5500:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,189Then I won't go
5600:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,758You're behaving childishly
5700:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,555If I had answered my parentsin that tone...
5800:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,076...I'd have been birched andmade to fast
5900:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,752Birch me and starve me, then.Give me berries instead of bread
6000:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,749You know I can't be strict with you,though I should be
6100:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,753You're laughing now, but I warn you:father is angry
6200:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,910
Get my yellow shift, my Sundayskirts and my blue cloak
6300:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,159Then I'll be happy, you'll behappy and father will be happy
6400:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,397How demurely I'll ride to church
65
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,071And Tawny's hooves will trot asthough on a pilgrimage...
6600:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,400...and I shall look neither left norright, but straight ahead...

6/28
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,752...and think of the candlesand the Holy Virgin
6800:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,238White stockings...
6900:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,751...and the blue shoes with pearls
7000:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,750This is no ordinary shift
7100:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,318Fifteen maidens stitched it
7200:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,398Fifteen all at once?
7300:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,156Sit down so that I can comb you
7400:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,476No, I want it loose, to go withmy fine clothes
7500:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,752If you always get your way,you'll please the devil so much...
7600:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,997...the saints will punish youwith toothache
7700:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,079Why do you talk so much of the devil?Father never does
7800:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,988
Because the devil is the seducerof the innocent
7900:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,239He strives to destroy all goodness
8000:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,398But I always say my prayers

8200:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,319I danced with him... and him...and him
8300:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,911-Why do you ask?-I had such evil dreams
8400:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,076What did you dream?
8500:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,755How I'd love to dreambig, wonderful dreams
8600:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,908But I never do
8700:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,750Now the skirts: the blue and the redwith golden threads
8800:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,476Tighter, or it won't puff outas it should
8900:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,077What about the clasp?
9000:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,750Save that for Sunday,you've gone far enough

9200:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,478"It's father; he's angry"

You can't talk! You fled your townin fear for your life
10700:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,758"I know all about you, "learned man"
10800:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,909"A bird on the wing finds food;a bird on the roost dies"
10900:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,918I have seen women and churches
11000:17:25,120 --> 00:17:26,917How were the churches?
11100:17:27,120 --> 00:17:33,070As high as heaven - and builtof stone, not wood
11200:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,748With windows the colours ofthe rainbow
11300:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,269You may come, too, Ingeri
11400:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,309Hurry, or you won't get to church
before nightfall
11500:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,359Hurry, Ingeri
11600:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,597Drink some mulled ale
11700:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,235It's a long journey
11800:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,750Give it to Ingeri, she's coming, too

12000:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,758Won't you kiss me good-bye?
12100:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,917The Lord Christ blessyour young life
12200:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,636Take this cheese and these candlesto the priest for me
12300:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,476Don't forget to give Father Erikmy message... you know it
12400:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,396He's to say five paternostersand fifteen Hail Marys
12500:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,398I know an orchard sweet and fair
12600:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,759A maiden with virtues so true
12700:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,751Shining like spun gold her hair
128
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:48,750Her eyes like the heavens blue
12900:19:49,360 --> 00:19:53,148Happily the streams meander
13000:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,752Through valleys green they wander
13100:19:58,120 --> 00:20:01,749
In the springtime
13200:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,749The little bird soars up so high
13300:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,555Glides softly on the breeze

11/28
13400:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,918How sweet it would be to fly
13500:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,749Floating o'er mountains and trees
13600:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,077Happily the streams meander
13700:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,750Through valleys green they wander
13800:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,871In the springtime
13900:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,911-Is the child paining you?-One day you'll know how it is
14000:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,800I'll be mistress of a house andmarried with honour
14100:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,078We'll see how your honour is, whena man starts fumbling you
14200:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,557
No man will bed me without marriage
14300:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,156And if one tumbles you behinda bush at night?
14400:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,078I'll struggle free
14500:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,991
But he is stronger
14600:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,751It's better to brighten the roadthan languish in church
14700:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,916I'm taking the candles

15400:22:50,360 --> 00:22:54,751I wanted him to find a way outfor you and the child
15500:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,593And he said he'd help, if you
lay in the hay with him
15600:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,752You danced with him and tookhis hand
15700:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,077I danced with all who gave metheir hand
158
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,394Forgive me
15900:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,314Don't ask my forgiveness

-But we're going to church

16200:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,759Father and mother wouldn'tlike that
16300:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,748"The forest is so black; I can't go on"
16400:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,156Don't cry so, you might harmthe child
16500:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,076Afraid of the forest?
16600:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,558Not I. I'm riding to church
16700:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,156May she rest here until I return?

169
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,077Did you think I'd slap you again?
17000:25:07,360 --> 00:25:07,917In labour?
17100:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,678Worse than that
17200:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,080

17500:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,591This is a forlorn place.Have you no neighbours?
17600:26:25,360 --> 00:26:29,751I hear what I will and I seewhat I will
17700:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,398I hear what mankind whispersin secret...

You can hear for yourself,if you do as I do

18100:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,715Three dead men ride north

22700:35:36,800 --> 00:35:42,079My brother says my lady hassuch a slender waist
22800:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,078You can cut this for us
22900:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,236But perhaps you have no knife
23000:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,475This is Simon of Snollsta's mark
23100:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,671I am on my way to churchwith the Virgin's candles
23200:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,070
Mind the goats until we get back,or you know what to expect
23300:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,235What do you want?
23400:43:38,200 --> 00:43:43,638The night is cold and the roadis long
235
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,954Where are you from?
23600:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,238The north, from Vasternol
23700:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,872How was the winter?
23800:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,148
Hard, with much sickness
23900:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,798People are starving and the cattleare too weak to stand
24000:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,636Yes, I heard you had a cruel winter

24100:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,634Where are you going?
24200:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,157We'll look for work in the south
24300:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,512You can sleep inside. There'll bea frost tonight
24400:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,030The master said we could come in
24500:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,076Sit there till he comes
24600:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,759
Those shoes have seen some wear
24700:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,877If a day begins well,it will end in woe
24800:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,513Seldom, if ever, was a mornas promising as today
249
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,150The bright sun dispelled all themisery of winter
25000:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,758Legs felt like dancing
25100:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,758But by dusk she lay dead
252
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:28,712The May Queen rode off on the sun,but never returned
25300:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,716Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

You are the living breadfrom heaven come
25500:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,159Make me worthy to receivethis bodily bread
25600:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,397And save my soul when I am dead
25700:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,669Did you finish?
25800:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,668All manured and ploughed
25900:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,509Manure clay thick, manure sand thin
26000:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,430Forgive my poor brother
26100:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,272Is he often like this?
26200:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,033Only if we've starved
263
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:03,148Rub his temples with salt and vinegar,put a hot wooden lid on his stomach
26400:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,237Our humble thanks...
26500:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,829...but the less attention the better
266
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:32,477I may be able to give you work;we can talk of it tomorrow
26700:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,909Keep the fire going, the nightwill be cold

00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,237I hope you say your prayers,even if no one reminds you
26900:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,751Yes, you poor thing
27000:51:37,960 --> 00:51:43,318The Lord is more mercifulthan you think
27100:51:44,120 --> 00:51:48,989Say your prayers, tonight andevery night
27200:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,989See the smoke tremblingunder the roof?
273
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,398As if it were terrified
27400:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,758Yet when it gets outside...
27500:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,432...it has the heavens toswirl about in
276
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,157But it doesn't know that
27700:53:06,440 --> 00:53:11,833So it crouches beneath the roofand trembles
27800:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,998It's the same with people
279
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,475They quiver like a leafin a storm...
28000:53:22,520 --> 00:53:27,071...afraid of what they knowand what they don't know

00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,316You are about to walk a narrow plank
28200:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,476So narrow, you don't knowwhere to place your foot
28300:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,758A river runs below you
28400:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,749Its blackness wants to engulf you
28500:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,314But you cross unharmed
28600:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,553A chasm lies before you
28700:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,472So deep, you can't see its depths
28800:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,476Hands stretch out for you,but they cannot reach you
28900:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,750Finally, you stand beforea fearful mountain
29000:54:15,800 --> 00:54:21,909It belches flame, an abyss opensat its foot
29100:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,159All colours blaze there:copper and iron...
29200:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,999
...blue vitriol and yellow suphur
29300:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,159Flames dazzle and flashand devour the rocks
29400:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,548People leap and writhe,

people tiny as ants
29500:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,234This furnace...
29600:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,557...devours murderers and violators
29700:54:53,360 --> 00:54:58,388When you think you are lost,a hand will grasp you
29800:54:58,800 --> 00:55:04,238An arm will embrace you andyou will be borne away...
29900:55:05,800 --> 00:55:10,157...to where evil can no longerharm you
30000:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,992If Karin is not home tonight, sheis sure to be home tomorrow
30100:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,078Rest, Mareta
30200:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,920How can you speak of rest?
That's all you have ever said
30300:55:46,800 --> 00:55:51,157What would have happened to usif I had been like you...
30400:55:51,360 --> 00:55:56,309...never worried, never anxious,never crying out to God?
305
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,556Open your hands
30600:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,749I know you are worried about Karin

30800:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,475She has stayed in the villagewithout permission before
30900:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,155I have no one but her
31000:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,751She is all I have
31100:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,080They hit the boy
31200:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,759I thought the boy screamed
31300:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,318
It was probably an owl;we've heard it several times
31400:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,112This silken shift...
31500:58:42,960 --> 00:58:48,478These other things, too, belongedto our sister who died at Candlemas
316
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,758It is dear to us...
31700:58:54,280 --> 00:58:59,912...but we have no choice thanto offer it for sale
31800:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,319We can see that you appreciatebeautiful things...
31900:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,070...and this was our sister'smost treasured possession
32000:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,716It is a bit worn and stained...

32200:59:30,600 --> 00:59:35,151A deft hand like yours cansurely make it good
32300:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,478I must ask my husband...
32400:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,752...what would be a just pricefor such a costly garment

33601:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,759The day I prayed for it,God Odin did it
33701:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,991It was him and me, not the herdsmen
33801:04:02,200 --> 01:04:07,991They were possessed by him, theyflung themselves on her like devils
33901:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,156They took her
34001:04:12,360 --> 01:04:13,509You saw it?
34101:04:15,360 --> 01:04:21,310I stood in the forest, I saw itand I wanted it
34201:04:24,120 --> 01:04:29,148I had a stone to throw at them,but I let it drop
34301:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,792When it was over, they killed herwith a cudgel
34401:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,394I saw that, too
34501:04:47,800 --> 01:04:52,157Heat the bath-house.
I'll fetch birch twigs
34601:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,558Bring me the slaughtering knife

35001:18:42,800 --> 01:18:48,511Then she turned to you and I began tohate you. The guilt is mine
