00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,238Last night she dancedfeverishly enough

2800:06:19,800 --> 00:06:25,113You're no more like your stepsisterthan a thorn is like a rose!

2900:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,752You still act like a wildcat...

3000:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,997...even now, when we ought toturn you out

3100:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,989Lord, bless our daily bread

3200:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,918

Isn't Karin taking the Virgin'scandles to Mass?

3300:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,749Karin is unwell

3400:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,319She's a lazybones. She waswell enough to dance

35

00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,909Today she is unwell

3600:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,317Too ill to ride to church?

3700:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,080Frida will take the candles

3800:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,750

But a maiden must takethe Virgin's candles

3900:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,748You are always so strict with Karin

4000:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,396You are always so easygoing with her


4/28

4100:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,558She is the only child I have left

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

4500:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,760Send Ingeri to wake Karen

4600:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,757I'll go myself

4700:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,190Go and rouse the sluggard

4800:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,999Ingeri, prepare Karin's food forthe journey: bread, cheese and meat

4900:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,548-Are you ill?

-No, only sleepy

5000:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,158May I have breakfast in bed?

5100:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,751Father says you must take theVirgin's candles to church

5200:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,910

-lf you are ill, Frida will go-I'm not ill

5300:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,315Then you must go

5400:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,432-lf I can wear my silk shift


5/28

-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...

67


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


7/28

8100:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,157Who did you dance with last night?

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

9100:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,759You're in my light

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

9300:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,592Didn't mother say you were ill?

9/28

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

11900:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,077-Who said so?-Father


10/28

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


12/28

14800:22:15,120 --> 00:22:19,352So you've put your best onin honour of the Virgin

14900:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,875Not for you

15000:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,156Don't think I wear them toplease you

15100:22:27,360 --> 00:22:31,069-Thank you for last night, Karin-Why Thank me?

15200:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,757You've nothing to thank me for

15300:22:46,120 --> 00:22:50,079-What is it, Ingeri?-I saw you with him last night

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

16000:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,750-Let's turn back


13/28

-But we're going to church

16100:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,916I can take the candles

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?

16800:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,318This is enough for you both

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

Come, I can help

17300:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,910Sit down. It's long since anyonesat here with me

17400:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,316-What Is your name?


14/28

-These days I have no name

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...

17800:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,149...and I see what it believesno one can see

17900:26:38,440 --> 00:26:44,310

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

18000:26:47,120 --> 00:26:49,554What thunders outside?

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

18200:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,750

It's long since a womanmade my seat narrow

18300:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,238Here is a cure for your suffering

18400:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,068Here is a cure for your woe

18500:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,559

Blood, cease to flow

18600:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,749Fish, high and dry

18700:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,397Eagle, fall from the sky

16/28

20200:31:43,280 --> 00:31:50,277He says we can only accept the foodif you share it with us

20300:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,830I must take the Holy Mother'scandles to church

20400:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,870Early Mass?

20500:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,714No, I overslept

20600:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,398If Mass is past, there's no hurry

207

00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,479And your mother meant you toeat the food

20800:32:07,800 --> 00:32:14,114My brother says we can go to asunny glade, if you will honour us

20900:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,398Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

21000:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,751You are the living bread fromheaven come

21100:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,076Make me worthy to receive thisbodily bread

21200:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,477And save my soul when I am dead

21300:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,759My brother wonders wheremy lady lives

21400:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,555East of the mountains,west of the forests...


17/28

21500:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,237...the battlements of my father'scastle reach to the sky

21600:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,918Is my lady a king's daughter?

21700:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,317Father's robes are of silk,his helm is of gold...

21800:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,557...and his lance flashes like goldin the sun

21900:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,078Mother has so many keys she cannotwear them at her belt...

22000:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,068...so a maid carries themon a cushion

22100:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,910And perhaps you three are princesunder a witch's spell...

22200:34:42,120 --> 00:34:48,195

...and the goats are really bearsand wolves

22300:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,159My brother says my lady hassuch white hands

22400:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,071Princesses do not launderor make fires

22500:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,397My brother says my lady hassuch a white neck

22600:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,559So that gold necklaceswill gleam brighter


18/28

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


19/28

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

25400:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,078


20/28

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

268


21/28

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

281


22/28

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,


23/28

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

30700:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,758I have no one but her


24/28

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...

321


25/28

00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,750...but the embroidery is surelythe work of nine maidens

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

32500:59:55,800 --> 01:00:00,715Now you must take your rest

32601:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,317

The herdsmen offered this for sale

32701:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,477It is Karin's

32801:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,749It is bloodstained

32901:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,749What will you do?

33001:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,749-First, bar the door-it Is done

33101:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,749You'll call our men?

33201:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,756Be careful

33301:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,991-Tell me what you know-Kill me, rather

33401:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,319My guilt is greater than theirs.I wanted it


26/28

33501:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,749Since I've been with childI've hated her

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

34701:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,909God have mercy on me


27/28

34801:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,159We must search for Karin

34901:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,549I loved her more than God Himself

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

35101:18:49,600 --> 01:18:53,912Not yours alone, Mareta.Only God can judge

35201:21:16,280 --> 01:21:20,637You saw it. God, You saw it

35301:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,634

The innocent child's deathand my vengeance

35401:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,555You permitted it

35501:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,750I don't understand You

35601:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,758

I don't understand You

35701:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,238Yet now I beg Your forgiveness

35801:22:04,520 --> 01:22:09,230I know no other way to reconcilemyself with my own hands

35901:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,398

I know no other way to live

36001:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,158I promise You, God...

36101:22:28,800 --> 01:22:34,238...beside the body of my childI promise You...


28/28

36201:22:35,280 --> 01:22:39,751...in penance for my sinI shall build a church

36301:22:40,800 --> 01:22:45,316Here I shall build it,a church of stone

36401:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,234With these my hands
