Oh, how wide, oh, how long is this road
Song
1. Alas, but wide, alas, but long is this road, ; Nine outlaws set out on Amëllikën, ; Nine outlaws set out on Amëllikën, ; They turned into the innkeeper's yard. ; ; 2. Innkeeper, may God give me a good evening, ; May He also give the gentlemen good luck, ; May the innkeeper not wish me luck, ; I will still stab a knife in the heart of the night. ; ; 3. – My daughter Maris, go down to the cellar, ; Bring up wine for the golden cup, ; – I don't need either your daughter or your wine, ; She only puts her money on her table. ; ; 4. Innkeeper walks out into the little shop, ; She looks up at the starry skies, ; – Alas, my God, how must I die, ; How must I leave these three orphans here. ; ; 5. The innkeeper walks out into the yard, ; She clasps her hands on her head, ; Oh, my God, take my heart to you, ; So that they don't spill my red blood.
