Can someone please translate this for me?
These are lyrics from a song called "Arv", by the swedish band "Fejd"
(
FEJD ; their songs can be downloaded for free there)
Thanks a lot!
Here's my shot at a translation. I couldn't bother to translate it into the same old-fashioned style in English at it's written in in Swedish. If it doesn't make sense, it's probably depends a little more on the author than on me. :Smug:
Heritage (by FEUD)
"A day now dawns from a time long passed
The cairns summons the forests dark oath
Join the barrow and the wide embrace of the crypt
For the soil you gave as burn-beat land
A will of faith that never dies
So rotted are the trunk of the oak
The age recalls the young mans work
He gives the soil his sacrifice just as the oak offers its leaf
For the soil you gave...
Se thus how the raven travels
Over the pine towards a hallowed valley
Where reverence will reign, where elves ever becomes
For the soil you gave...
For the song of the torrents are the stem of life
Purl carefully, the stream are so mischievous
Alas, the beautiful trail of the clime, separated ways we go"
