| Now shelter I must find from strong gale about to rise!
|
| The northern lights delight me
|
| Sets the darkened skies ablaze
|
| As I slowly make my way over glade
|
| To reach the firewood’s rising gates
|
| But savouring came the jaws of night
|
| Swallowing all but moon and stars
|
| Storm, it groped till raging blow
|
| Impaling bare-clothed
|
| Like dagger thrown by embittered foe
|
| Beneath the flickering eyes of night
|
| There under firewood’s branch, he rests
|
| In the cradle made by encrusted snow
|
| Without a grief or care
|
| The northern lights delight me
|
| Sets the darkened skies ablaze
|
| As I slowly make my way over glade
|
| To reach the firewood’s rising gates
|
| The ice wind’s cold breath forces me
|
| To this fortress of ever trees
|
| That offers me a place to rest
|
| Den for me and the beasts as well
|
| Oh Fortuna thou hath abandoned me!
|
| Who could see through the veil of night?
|
| Could hear the fainting call of the desperate one
|
| When the storm rages on and on
|
| And once again it strikes forth with
|
| Such a furious howling blow
|
| No mercy given for the lost
|
| Who is seeking a way out from
|
| This horrid maze of ice and snow
|
| Under the stars may moon guide your way
|
| But cold North winds will blow eternally
|
| Under the stars, beneath blazing skies
|
| You were forced to leave from where forest remains
|
| Out from the darkness just like that
|
| A swelling light became
|
| Now chanting for the traveller
|
| Whose road became to its end
|
| The northern lights delight thee
|
| Sets the darkened skies ablaze
|
| As you slowly make your way over glade
|
| To reach the firewood’s rising gates
|
| Savouring come the jaws of night
|
| Swallows all but moon and stars
|
| Storm it gropes till raging blow
|
| Impaling the one who tries
|
| To conquer the forest’s throne
|
| Beneath the stars may moon guide your way
|
| But cold North winds will blow eternally
|
| Beneath the flickering eyes of night
|
| There under firewood’s branch, he rests
|
| In the cradle made by encrusted snow
|
| Without a grief or care |
