Store song

Gunna went upstairs in the store

where she was given lots of figs and sweet cakes;

but Sigridhur waited downstairs in the store

measuring fabric and cutting cotton cloth.

The upstairs was beautiful and full of fine wool,

and there Kristjan showed her rare gold;

and Gunna stayed upstairs for a long time,

and came down with rosy cheeks.

Then Kristjan took some fine silk

(sold to others at very high prices)

and whispered to Gunna: "Put this on

your shoulders, my beautiful girl!"

People are treated differently; for us regular folk

goods and drinks are very expensive;

but beautiful girls get fine silk scarves

free from the Danish merchants.
