There is no "original version" of this song, because song is an old medieval Balad available in 17 different versions. It is about a werewolf chasing a pregnant "Virgin" to gain access to her fetus. She tries to offer werewolf gaver but fails to persuade him to let her live. In Swedish folklore werewolf break the cursed if he drinks a fetal heart blood. In some versions succeed virgin betrothed to save her, but in this version he will be too late.

why is fenrir in the background? he wasnt a wherewolf, maybe this song is about the fusion of man with the beast, or also known as berserkers...

And when he came to the wooded place

He found nothing more than a bloody arm

God comfort, God improve me, young page

:Linden trees quiver in the grove:

My maiden is gone, my horse is dead

:She was carrying the fruit of love...:

[JJJocarra]

Silver shoes won't suit me at all Your young life and your blood must go O dear wolf please don't bite me I will give you my golden crown A golden crown won't suit me at all Your young life and your blood must go The maiden she climbed up high in an oak The wolf he paced the ground and howled The wolf dug up the oak by the roots The maiden gave a heart-rending cry The young page saddled his gray steed He rode slightly faster than a bird could fly

[JJJocarra]

Official translation according to Garmarna: The maiden she would to the cottage go :Linden trees quiver in the grove: So she took the path through the forest blue :She was carrying the fruit of love: And when she reached the forest blue There she met with a gray wolf O dear wolf please don't bite me To you I will give my silver gown The silver gown won't suit me at all Your young life and your blood must go O dear wolf please don't bite me I will give you my silver shoes (continued)
