They say the DVD is gonna be called "The Contrast Excursion" in the news section, hopefully next they will give a release date
I know the meaning of the swedish poems but it´s very hard to translate them into english beacuse the words are wery old fashioned and are not used in the daily speaking.
Of course I can try to translate it but it will be very simplyfied done.

yeah its like vintersorg said in his translation section of the lyrics, not all were translated because the beauty of the lyrics gets lost in the translation so perhap some are best left untranslated?
Hmm, cant wait for the dvd. Im still looking for a projected release of Visions....... hmm. Vintersorg? You there brother?

I have noticed it's easier to translate the poems in German than in English...
but as I said, I'm stucked... because of the old Swedish...
and still I like the way he did it... from what I undersood, they are wonderful poems...
if I could I would like to translate them into old English and old German...

welll morgana, as far as I know (from a friend who already sent some translations for V website) it's extremely hard to translate it and still keep that magic in the poem....but well don't know how much that is a burden for a possible translator.

I agree that translated poems lose a bit (sometimes) much of the magic..i have seen it both from greek poems translated in english and when i mysef try to translate poems i find cool....

Let's try to translate this one...
I won't try to keep the meter of the original...
Hopefully Vintersorg won't sue me for this...
"Döpt I En Jökelsjö" (c) Vintersorg
Baptized in a Glacier Lake
Icewind, frostwind in by poverty bound shroud
A resounding haven for the winterrealm's messenger
He who was born beneath the pole star, in severe cold
Under storm-torn snowy expanses' sparkling shield
Symbolic image of Elements
The skull-white snow figure
With aurora eyes flaming wildly
flashing in harmony with all
Wise of heart, with shoulders like alpine ranges wide
The adventure-creating landscape's center
With the ice-age dragon "Father Jokull" at its side
Surrounded by crystal clear water calmly rippled
Baptized in a Glacier Sea,
Behold the highfell ceremony!
With the glacier world's delta isle
Vaulted in periphery
A winter coronation rite
With wind as its poet
Binding this eremite
In its universality
A star map is carved on his back
By the dragon's frost claws, that calm and shy
Hisses its cracks with a strange whine
Its unheard moan, like an unwritten title page
The baptismal funt, a gap in the glacier surface
Storms serving as energic hymn
Kneeling on frozen bed he's seen floating,
On sun-chiselled blocks, on water crystal ore
Colosses of ice are rebuilt every second
The arctic kingdom's monarch lies proud
His barren kingdom seems to conquer at last
O'er the corpse pale sun's groping revolt.
Baptized in a Glacier Sea,
Behold the high fells' ceremony!
With the glacier world's delta isle
Vaulted in periphery
A winter coronation rite
With wind as its poet
Fettering this eremite
In its universality
I won't try to keep the meter of the original...
Hopefully Vintersorg won't sue me for this...

Yes Luguber, thank you very very much!!!
Why should Andreas sue you? You only translated us the poem, so we can understand it...

I am currently using the Opera 6.01 web-browser and
it kicks ass! But when I read your post I remembered
I haven't checked Vintersorg's site with this browser,
so I did, and LOL!!! It looks quite fucked, and I can't
click on anything either. Those small windows don't
work when I click a link
/ They work fine in explorer though, so the webmaster
should try to do something about this
