Translation to:en

Atternatt

Det velter dismot kyst av isved vinterhavSaa graatt og hardtog raatt og svartsom indre grav

Paa vaandestii fordums lived iskaldt vannskal du faase kulden gaai form av mann

I Bjoergvins graaobskure ogokkulte smauAtternattDemonbesattVil se deg dau

Her voktes porti groent og sortav gammel ormog hjertet vristil Kongens prisi rovdyrstorm

Sjelesalggir dunkle valgog demper solSe og knelnaar Nordmanns sjelblir ormebol

For Fanden flyri nattens dyrsaar vonde kornVaar nattestidser porten vidpaa Lyderhorn

For Norges aere maa vi drepeArvens froeskal vi stroeFor vi svinger Nordens svepeav evig snoeLa solen doe

Se de dunkle skyer svevefor vinterjakti djevlepaktNaar vi knytter Norges nevei Herrens draktmot evig prakt

Hoder boeyd i skammenneske blir lamHoder hoeyt i aerefanen skal vi baere

Again Night

Fog pours inTo a coast of iceBy winter's seaAs grey and hardand raw and blackas an internal grave

On a path of woein hills of the pastby ice-cold waterYou willsee cold walkingin the shape of a man.

In Bjørgvin's greyobscure andoccult alleysNight,Demon-possessed,Will see you dead

Here a gate is guardedin green and blackby an old snakeAnd the heart is wringed outin praise of the Kingin a carnivorous storm

The selling of soulsmakes for dark choicesand dims the sunWatch and kneelas a Norwegian's soulturns into a viper's nest

Because the devil fliesin the animals of the night,sowing grains of painOur night-timeSees the wide gateon Lyderhorn

For Norway's honour we must killThe seeds of legacywe will spreadWe swing the Nordic whipof eternal snowLet the sun die

Se the dark clouds gatherfor winter's huntin devil's pactWhen we knot the fist of Norwayin the Lord's garmentsagainst eternal splendour

Heads bowed in shameHumans become lameHeads high in honourwe will carry the banner.
