Wardruna "Helvegen" lyrics

Helvegen

Kven skal synge megi daudsvevna slynge megnår eg helvegen gårog dei spora eg trårer kalde så kalde, så kalde

Eg songane søkteEg songane sendedå den djupaste brunnigav meg dråpar så rammeav Valfaders pant

Alt veit eg Odinkvar du auge løynde

Kven skal synge megi daudsvevna slynge megnår eg helvegen gårog dei spora eg trårer kalde så kalde, så kalde

Årle ell i dagars hellenn veit ravnen om eg fell

Når du ved helgrindi stårog når laus deg må riveskal eg fylgje degyver gjallarbrui med min song

Du blir laust frå banda som bind degDu er løyst frå banda som batt deg

"Deyr fé,deyja frændr,deyr sjalfr it sama,en orðstírrdeyr aldregi,hveim er sér góðan getr.

Deyr fé,deyja frændr,deyr sjalfr it sama,ek veit einn,at aldrei deyr:dómr um dauðan hvern."

The path to Hel

Who shall sing me,Into deathsleep sling me,When I on the path to Hel go,And this track I treadIs cold, so cold, so cold.

I sought the songs,I sent the songs.Then the deepest wellGave me tears so harshFrom the Slain-father's1 pledge.

I know everything, Odin,To whom you gave your eye.

Who shall sing me,Into deathsleep sling me,Whence I on the path to Hel go,And this track I treadIs cold, so cold, so cold.

Early or in the day's end,The raven still knows if I fall.

Once you stand at the gate to HelAnd when you have to tear free,I shall follow youOver Gjallarbrú2 with my song.

You will be free from the bonds that bind you,You are free from the bonds that bound you!

"Cattle die,Friends die,So, too, must you die.Though one thingNever dies;The fair fame one has earned.

Cattle die,Friends die,So, too, must you die.I know one,That never dies;Judgement of a dead man's life."3
