"If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share.
If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds,
With six blood red roses for my love to wear.
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair.
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,
red as my blood, green as your eyes.
If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages,
With six snow white horses to take you anywhere.
If I were the emperor I'd build you six palaces,
With six hundred servants for comforting fare.
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair.
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share.
So be not afraid my love, you're never alone love,
While you wear my ribbons tying back your hair.
Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer,
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair.
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share,
Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair.
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share,
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair.

Å finne den rette brudevalssongen var verkeleg noko me sleit lenge med. Tempoet skal ikkje gå for fort eller for sein og songen skal jo gjerne vere noko ein som par kan kjenne seg att i eller ha eit minne om. Songen me til slutt ville danse til, var "Six Ribbons", ein song som opprinneleg er kjenningsmelodien til miniserien Against the Wind (Mot alle vindar på norsk). Eg har lenge synst at melodien er veldig fin, og då me søkte opp songteksten, fann me ut at det var denne songen me ønska å danse til. Originalen blir sunge av Jon English, og sjølv om den er fin, så er Didrik Solli-Tangen sin versjon endå finare. Sjølv om bryllaupet er over, hender det at me dansar til denne songen her heime i stova, berre for å mimre litt. Vår song, den songen me dansa brudevalsen til :)
