   Great song and an interesting site you have.
   But don’t you think that the word “ramme” is meant as an adjective rather than a verb? “Ramt” as in bitter/bad tasting but yet powerfull.

   Do you understand the second verse + the two next lines to be about the conception, the start of life, like I do, and the rest about the exit of life?

   Great art, and a something that adds so much value for younger generations.
   In these dark times of globalization this keeps the subcultures alive.

   Tak

    Bra gjort og tøft at du har oversatt det til engelsk.
    Men det er en liten feil det (bare bitte liten)
    De synger “kvar du auge løynde” ikke “var du gjømde ditt auge”

    where did Odin hide his eye. He exchanged it at mimirs well at the base of Yggdrissil. That would be death, the here beyond , the greatest mystery.

    He had one eye turned inward. Contemplating, searching, while one eye was in the world. In the mundane

    Are the Norwegian lyrics here written in Bokmal or Nynorsk?

      neither, it’s a mix of both, in addition phonetic writing, since these guys sings in dialect.

      Music that is very dear to me. Very honorable Wardruna is!

      (Please correct the translation error at the last passage: he reputation of those who died. It should be, those who tells about the dead, (the heroes that died), they shall live forever. Meaning: As long as the tradition, the history, the stories of our people are told on to the next generations, they shall never die. It can also be read in this way: The man who tells about the dead, is always the one living. To just say “reputation”, simply does not justify the dept of the meaning of the words in the last sentence. I wish this was corrected, since I am passionate about my blood, my people, and my roots, and to preserve it).

    Wer soll singen für mich?
    Im Totenschlaf schlängle ich mich.
    Nun geh auf Himmelwegen gar
    und die Spur auf der ich trete, solch kalte, solch kalte.

    Ich suche Klänge!
    Ich sende Klänge!
    Als der tiefste Brunnen,
    gab mir Trännen so harte,
    von Allvaters Pfand.

    Alles weiss ich- O din,
    wem du gabst dein Auge.

    Wer soll singen für mich?
    Im Totenschlaf schlängle ich mich.
    Nun geh auf Himmelwegen gar
    und die Spur auf der ich trete, solch kalte, solch kalte.

    Angesicht im Hellen wie Dunklen,
    es wüsst der Rabe wäre ich gefallen.

    Sobald du am Himmelsgrund erstarrst
    und du dich losgerissen hast,
    so ich folge dir,
    über “Geräuschbrück” mit meinem Klang.

    Du wirst erlöst, von Bändern die dich binden.
    Du bist erlöst, von Bändern die dich banden.

    Vieh stirbt, Familie stirbt,
    du selbst wirst sterben,
    Aber Worte über dich sterben nicht,
    wenn du Sie verdientest gerecht.

    Vieh stirbt, Familie stirbt,
    du selbst wirst sterben.
    Ich wüsste etwas dass niemals stirbt,
    das ist der Ruhm der Toten.

    What a unique art
    It directly takes me to meditative state of mind, i close my eyes here, and open them there… in a different place… or a world? i can feel the wind blowing in my face and hear birds flapping their wings… narrow fjords cutting into tall mountains… the sky covered in a blanket of smoky, gray haze… peals of thunder, seemed like the warning voice of Gods…

    I want to make a comment on a massive translation ERROR!

    Eg veit et som aldreg døyr————————————I know one that never dies
    dom om daudan kvar——————————————-the reputation of those who died

    Dom om daudan kvar, means: Those who tells about, sings about, pass on the knowledge of, those who died.
    This is very essential to get right. the man who tells about our heritage, and brings it on to our next generation, never dies. The tradition, our heritage, our history and existence never dies, as long as there is a victor of our people who tells about the dead heroes.
