No. 203. The Confrontation. 
Kittaararter. 
An evil and bitter fighting tone seems to permeate the poem, and the 
cause to be a woman with whom the singer denies (in the last line) 
having had any intimate 
the contents of the song.

What now? Will he come ashore? they ask. 
That scoundrel Anneete 
Now begins to start hither, | 
Now in earnest begins to set out on drum 
contest against me. 
They who will not omit to penetrate the 
fjord to its depths! 
Now unhesitatingly he slinks into the fjord. 
Attention! what if he hesitates ! [? 
Do not mind, if he hesitates! |?! 
Well, it comes to his mind to wrestle, 
He will surely challenge me to wrestle with 
him. 
You were, sure enough, on the point of de- 
parting, 
You were, sure enough, on the point of fleeing. 
A miserable person, a beast who grows big- 
ger and bigger ! 
A miserable person, a beast, who stands and 
snorts ! 
What if I fetched the person for a moment 
Who is our great little cause of the contest! 
Let him appear a moment! 
The great little animal, 
The great little person with bristles round 
his snout |? 
Let him (or them) come forward a little! 
You who have not flesh on the body! 
You who have not cheeks, 
You who are quite without flesh! 
Let them (down there?) become thus 
To make the one caress the other ! 
I have allowed them to come together again. 
I have allowed them to forbear with each 
other again, 
Both those yonder, 
And those up there.
