Bukkene Bruse - Bendik og Årolilja

Bendik falls in love with princess Årolilja. The king’s servant notifies him that Bendik is visiting his daughter without his consent, and so the king sentence him to death. Årolilja pray’s for him, but to no avail. Short after Årolilja dies of grief, and they are buried on the opposite sides of the church. Up from the two graves grow lilies that intertwine and anchor with each other over the church roof. The king now regrets that he hung Bendik. “Bendik og Årolilja“ 1 Bendik ri åt Sølondo ville han skòda møy; han var kje lagje til att’e koma difor så laut han døy. -Årolilja, kvi søve du så lengje
