Eg Heiter Anne Knutsdotter

My name is Anne Knutsdotter. Kari is my mother's name. Truls is the name of my little brother. Our house is a hovel where no one would think that anyone could live. And it is called the tottering castle, leaning tower,open to the sky. We die of hunger. In the summer we have fun, in shells and bowls gathering berries in the woods. On the grass-covered roof two spindly birch trees grow which our thin goat nibbles each day. And we call her darling, ugly thing, curly top. And the little hen is Tip Top! My father is a peddler. He looks like no one, goes to the devil. My mother keeps house and turns her spinning wheel. But Truls does nothing. And it is called the tottering castle.

Song From Malaga

This song, in dialogue form, was recorded in Malaga and features a male singer called ''Urro de la Trinidad, " accompanied by guitars, with dancing and the usual jaleo. The song deals with a theme that is widespread in the folklore of all the world: that of the hero who has been carried off to his grave, but who is ''really'' not dead, only sleeping. One gathers that the "Julio Romero" mentioned in the text was a bullfighter (the favorite type of hero in Spain). The dialogue in the song is between the little bridge of San Rafael and a young girl of Cordoba, who walks along the road with grief-stricken features and a black ribbon on her head, mourning the death of Julio Romero.
Won't you tell me, little bridge,
That is seen from San Rafael,
Tell me why, you little road,
They have taken him away forever?
Where now is Julio Romero?
Where is he -- for I don't knew?
Please tell me, little bridge
That is seen from San Rafael.

And the little bridge replies:

Maiden, maiden of Cordoba,
Take off your ribbon of black,
And don't walk along so sadly!
For Julio Romero lives,
He lives, and he is sleeping,
Do not cry, lest you awake him.
He is sleeping in his chamber
With his lovely companion.

Untruthful World (Yalanji Dunya)

This song is pure philosophy and rather pessimistic at that. This world is so deceptive that all we see are lies and illusions. The traveller who walks this road of deception and lies does not come back. It is impossible to now the mysteries of love. It is impossible to pursue love. “Don’t open the deep wound in my heart. I don't ant a crown, a throne, a palace and all those world goods because this world is a world of lies and nobody will ever come back again.”
