lyrics

Abbalabba-lá

Hún hét Abba-labba-lá.
Hún var svört á brún og brá
og átti kofa í skóginum á milli grænna greina
trúði á stokka og steina.
En enginn vissi, hvaðan hún kom í þennan skóg;
og enginn vissi, hvers vegna
hún ærslaðist og hló,
og enginn vissi, hvers vegna
hún bæði beit og sló. ­

Hún hét Abba-labba-lá.
Hún var svört á brún og brá
og gerði alla vitlausa,
sem vildu í hana ná.
Á villidýrablóði,
á villidýrablóði
lifði Abba-labba-lá.

. . . Einu sinni sá ég
Abba-labba-lá.
Hún dansaði í skóginum,
svört á brún og brá.
Mér hlýnaði um hjartað
og ég hrópaði hana á:
Abba-labba,
Abba-labba,
Abba-labba-lá!

Abba labba lá.

Þá kom hún til mín hlaupandi
og kyssti mig og hló,
beit mig og saug úr mér
blóðið, ­svo ég dó.
­
Og afturgenginn hrópa ég
út yfir land og sjá:
Varið ykkur, vesalingar,
varið ykkur, vesalingar,
á Abba-labba-lá.
