Lyrics of The Song in Peer Gynt
- (The troll-courtiers):: Slagt ham! Kristenmands søn har dåret
- Dovregubbens veneste mø!
- Slagt ham!
- Slagt ham!
- (a troll-imp): Må jeg skjære ham i fingeren?
- (another troll-imp): Må jeg rive ham i håret?
- (a troll-maiden): Hu, hej, lad mig bide ham i låret!
- (a troll-witch with a ladle): Skal han lages til sod og sø?
- (another troll-witch, with a butcher knife): Skal han steges på spid eller brunes i gryde?
- (the Mountain King): Isvand i blodet!

- Slay him! The Christian's son has bewitched
- The Mountain King's fairest daughter!
- Slay him!
- Slay him!
- May I hack him on the fingers?
- May I tug him by the hair?
- Hu, hey, let me bite him in the haunches!
- Shall he be boiled into broth and bree to me
- Shall he roast on a spit or be browned in a stewpan?
- Ice to your blood, friends!
