1. Norge

[English translation:]

Norway

Through a desolate and freezing night two lovers seek together.
Greater grows the flame when the night is bitterly big and deserted.
In this way our heart seeks the heart of Norway,
Like flames in the cold and the storm a fire:
Here there are two through lust or pain - we and our country

Norway in our hearts!
Live, oh fatherland!
There you shall rock in tenderness like the wind in the summer fields!

There you shall roar in pride like scarred trees towards
Ocean fields like a hymn of life from the varde [a sort of roadmark along mountain tops]
To the last rock [in the sea].

The ladders go deep in the mines of the black day;
Like ghost cocus burning in the mountain those glass blue lamps.

But seamen wander towards home,
Nodding farewell to a steamboat which carried,
Among palms and iceberg;
Them and the Norwegian flag!

A wonder happens;
The blonde nights
Bird mountains asleep
In the midnight sun

A light that that dreams
In the slopes of the cliff

Until suddenly it burst
In thousands of wings!

Let Norway fill our hearts!
Can you hear the song of the land?
Listen to a small tune,
It is your own sound!


2. Troll



[English translation:]

Troll

Out in the darkness of the forest
Among mountains and rocks
Roars a thunder
Like rolling boulders.

It is trolls going to war
Marching to war against Thorr.
Trolls that will leave
Jotunheim [the home of the trolls in Old Norse mythology] tonight

The trolls are marching;
In the darkness glow
Their eyes like torches,
Their fits shuffle
Along the ground when they walk.
They puff and blow
A song of war
Of monotone sounds
Is answered by Thorr:

Like a thunder cloud
Like a hammerfall
Thorr arrives from Asgard [home of the Aeser, Old Norse gods]
...in his wrath
...in his rage
He slaughters trolls in contempt

Now you shall bleed, Thorr
Now you shall die, troll.
Blows you shall take, Thorr
Pain you will suffer, troll.
The gods will fall and Jotunheimen rule.
The trolls will turn to stone and
Odin's power will never die.

Thorr's hammer killed many
Trolls in the battle tonight
The boulders lay spread
The bodies in the forest


3. Dommedagsnatt

[English translation:]

Doomsday's Night

A lonely flame glowed in the dark
A lonely fire gave warmth in the cold
The fimbulwinter [also a concept from Old Norse mythology, a winter several times longer and harder than a regular winter]
Showed no mercy
To neither god nor beast

The earth shook with violent tugs
From the caves came forth
Beasts that once were chained.
In the east and west,
In the north and south,
Raised themselves hordes and foes.

Every einherjer [the dead warriors of Valhalla] lay quiet and waited
For the song of the golden rooster
That in the morning would wake all
Those would die cruelly.
The battle that was the end,
Ragnarok.

This night was doomsdaynight,
The last night the proud gods
And the foul beasts
In this lifetime would see.
Morning was doomsday

Under pale black sky
In snow and storm
They waited for death calmly and without contempt
One lives the most during ones last hours.
...destiny cannot be changed.

The lonely flame in the dark
And the lonely fire
Saw more life during the last hours
Than the world had seen in all its time;
When death awaits is life most precious.

The night blows colder when
Daytime shall never arrive.
Beyond the darkness lay the corpse of the sun,
She was betrayed by wolves,
Beside bled the moon its last blood,
The wolf's bite had left its marks.
Darkness rules, but not forever.
Beyond the darkness waits
Doomsday for its time to come.
