The beheading of a king

Original

The beheading of a kingA mighty fleet came across the strait
But Erik was prepared
Five hundred Germans had come to his aid
On horseback with their spears

The fleet was carrying two thousand men
Eager to draw blood
But as they were about to land
Erik released his heards

One thousand men and five hundred horsemen
Came charging down the beach
When the sea-king saw this force
He gave order to retreat

All obeyed except one ship
It held the king's own son
He despised the thought of flight
And attacked on his own

The Danish fleet had to turn around
They charged King Erik's men
But it was too late to save his son
His life was already spent

The fighting continued bloody and fierce
And the bloodshed was immense
Two thousand warriors died that day
Most of them were Danes

The Danish king was captured
Most of his guards were dead
For a ransom he was released
Then his people took his head

A decapitação de um reiUma poderosa armada atravessou o estreito
Mas Erik estava preparado
Quinhentos germânicos tinham vindo a seu auxílio
Montados com suas lanças
A armada carregava dois mil homens
Ansiosos por derramarem sangue
Mas quando eles estavam prestes a aterrar*
Erik liberou suas hordas
Mil homens a pé e quinhentos cavaleiros
Investiram através da praia
Quando o rei do mar viu essa força
Ele ordenou uma retirada
Todos obedeceram exceto por um barco
No qual estava o próprio filho do rei
Ele desprezava a idéia de fugir
E atacou sozinho
A frota dinamarquesa teve que dar a volta
Eles atacaram os homens de Erik
Mas já era muito tarde para salvar o filho do rei
Sua vida já tinha sido retirada
A luta continuou sangrenta e feroz
E o massacre foi imenso
Dois mil guerreiros morreram nesse dia
Na maioria dinamarqueses
O rei dinamarquês foi capturado
A maior parte de seus guardas estava morto
Seu resgate foi pago e ele foi libertado
E então seu povo cortou sua cabeça
