Is there any website with translated (to english) lyrics for Vintersorg's songs? I am starting swedish lessons in a few months
I looked, couldn't find anything:/ Might be that only a moderator can set a sticky...
He sings in Swedish and has written only one song in a certain dialect but for Otyg. I don't know which one it is, though.
I think the lyrics on Lumsk's Troll suck pretty badly, despite being written by a folklorist and all. But anyway:Well, I know there is a Vintersorg page (I love you Draugen - the page is excellent (so is Skald btw), but what about other bands such as Lumsk? I'm having quite a bit of a hard time understanding the song "Perpålsa".

I think the lyrics on Lumsk's Troll suck pretty badly, despite being written by a folklorist and all. But anyway:
Perpålsa the gnome lived in a stone
in Nordland, in Nordland
And Henrik the Swede fled on his legs
he ran from the policeman in the valley
Henrik the Swede ran, and he ran
in Nordland, in Nordland
And the policeman came just behind
he never managed to get away
Far away he saw something he thought was
in Nordland, in Nordland
the stone where Perpålsa lived
And the breath from the policeman was just behind
He threw himself behind the stone
in Nordland, in Nordland
He thundered and banged frantic and hard on it
Luckily Perpålsa was at home
The door opened slightly
in Nordland
Henrik the Swede slipped inside
Now I shall sleep so sweetly
-It was a gnome's stone!
Anyone care to help...half the dictionaries I've been using don't even have 'dagen' in it, let alone 'gryr'
Mithotyn - Tills Dagen Gryr
Runt kring vår stuga småjävlar sluga,tassa så tyst med bockfet och svans.Varulvar yla isande kyla,sveper i dimma fantygets dans.Bäva och broder lyssna och hör,vrålen från gast som osalig dör.Döden han skrattar flaskan han fatter,svänger med den tills dagen gryr.Gastar och spoken skymtas i kröken,dodingar släpar ruttnande lik.Benrangel skramla spökhänder famla,kväver din strupes rosslande skrik.Helvetets alla fasor slåpps loss,fan rider runt med hela sin tross.Döden han skrattar flaskan han fattarsvänger med den tills dagen gryr.
