Gravbakkjen - Wardruna

Høyr det let

Tonar gret

Her eg svartormen rir

Yver sorgtunge steg,

er eg på veg

Til mi moders favn

Til mi kvile

For jordi er mi mor

og mi grav

Tonar det let

Einkvan gret

Og tvifelt svir dei sår

som ingen andre kan sjå

Høyr det let

Tonar gret

Høyr det let

Når eg eingong ligg i jord

Lev eg framleis i dei ord

I visune eg kver

Og i tonane som bér

Lev eg kvar

Lev eg kvar

Lev eg kvar

Hear the sound

Weeping tunes

Here the black snake I ride

Over steps laden with sorrow

I am on my way

To my mother’s embrace

To my rest

For the earth is my mother

And my grave

Tunes they sound

Some are weeping

And twofold is burn of wounds

Which no other sees

Hear the sound

Weeping tunes

When I eventually lie in the ground

Still I will live in the words

Of the verses that I chant

And the tunes which carry

I yet live

Hear it easily

Tones gret

Here I ride the black snake

Yver sorrowful rose,

I'm on my way

To my mother's arms

To my rest

For jordi is my mother

and my grave

Tones it easily

Einkvan gret

And doubtless they burn wounds

that no one else can see

Hear it easily

Tones gret

Hear it easily

When I eingong lie in the ground

I live forever in those words

I visune eg kver

And in the tones that bear

I live

I live

I live

Hear the sound

Weeping tunes

Here the black snake I ride

Over steps laden with sorrow

I am on my way

To my mother’s embrace

To my rest

For the earth is my mother

And my grave

Tunes they sound

Some are weeping

And twofold is burn of wounds

Which no other sees

Hear the sound

Weeping tunes

When I eventually lie in the ground

Still I will live in the words

Of the verses that I chant

And the tunes which carry

I still live
