Lyrics
En gång jag foro som en modig ungersven
Jag vandrade skog, jag besokte bygd
Då tog jag mitt brod, stockar då fälldes
I djupaste skog, forslades till brukets eld
Vi togo brännvin vid bäckens strom
Av ruset vi sjungo, skrot om bragd och täljde fläsk
Natten kom i fullmånens sken
Ingen vind, inte rordes en gren
Huldrans gång
Eldens sång
Då sutto jag vid elden ensam
Huttrade i slutsommar nett
En skugga blott jag såg nu nalkas
Bland furors kvist, runt bjorkars spiror
Huldrans gång
Mot månen en skymt
Eldens sång
Silver mot blekvit by Hennes bryn så morkt
Med stripigt klängande hår
Ett tredje oga som ormens blott
Hennes anlete forgyllde
Hornkront hon smog
Som en skugga av stjärnestoft
Hon mig smekt
Viskande, klosande nu red
Då jag vaknat ur min slumran
Med brännmarkt skinn
Ett minne blott vår vilda lek
Ur ett drommars kväde
Denna skogens dotter, såg jag aldrig mer
Ack, ingen min forkunnelse tro
Men bland urträds skepnad evig
En gamling han få sin sista ro Natten kom i fullmånens sken
Ingen vind, inte rordes en gren
Jag slumrade in, mossan mig tog
Hennes mark jag vandrat, sen jag dog
Once upon a time i traveled like a brave young swain
I wandered in the forests, i visited the countryside
I ate my bread there, happened to choke on it In the deepest forest, taken away to fires of the mill
We took snaps near the brook’s current
Of drunkenness we sang, bragged and boasted and carved meat
Night arrived in the full moon’s shining
No wind, nothing moving the fields
Huldran’s stride
Song of fire
There i sat slone by the fire
Shivering in the late summer night
I suddenly saw a shadow closing on me Among pine branches, around birches’sprouts
Huldran’s stride
A glimpse towards the moon
Song of fire
Silver onto a snow-white village
Her brows so dark
With spindly, creeping hair
A third eye like a snake eye
Her visage gilded
Horn-crowned she sneaked
Like a shadow made of stardust
She caressed me Whispering, now tearing
Then i woke from my slumber
With a branded skin
Our wild game just a memory
Out of a dreamer’s ballad
Never again i saw the forest’s daughter
Ah, no one believed my story
But among the eternal shapes of the ancient forest
An old man is allowed his final rest
Night arrived in the full moon’s shining
No wind, nothing moving the fields
I fell to slumber, the moss took me I wandered on her lands ever since i died
Lyrics translation
Once I went like a brave Hungarian
I wandered forest, I besokte district
Then I took my brod, logs then fell
In the deepest Forest, The Mill was set on fire
We took brandy by the stream of the creek
Of the Rus we sing, scrap about bragd and soap pork
The night of the full moon
No wind, not a branch
The course of the huldr
Song of fire
Then I sat by the fire alone
Howled in late summer nett
A shadow only I saw now approaching
Among the twig of furor, around the spires of bjorkar
The course of the huldr
Towards the moon a glimpse
Song of fire
Silver against pale white by her brows so morkt
With striped clinging hair
A third oga as the serpent's only
Her face forgyllde
Hornkront she smog
Like a shadow of Star Dust
She caressed me
Whispering, chilling now red
When I wake up from my slumber
With flammable leather
A thing of the past our wild game
Out of a drommar's choke
This daughter of the forest, I never saw again
Alas, no my forkunnelse faith
But among the appearance of the primates eternal
An old man he get his last row the night came in the full moon glow
No wind, not a branch
I slumbered in, the Moss me took
Her land I've walked since I died
Once upon a time I traveled like a brave young swain
I wandered in the forests, I visited the countryside
I ate my bread there, happened to choke on it in the deepest forest, taken away to fires of the mill
We took snaps near the brook's current
Of drunkenness we sang, bragged and boasted and carved meat
Night arrived in the full moon's shining
No wind, nothing moving the fields
Huldran's stride
Song of fire
There I sat slone by the fire
Shivering in the late summer night
I suddenly saw a shadow closing on me Among pine branches, around birches ' sprouts
Huldran's stride
A glimpse towards the moon
Song of fire
Silver onto a snow-white village
Her brows so dark
With spindly, creeping hair
A third eye like a snake eye
Her visage gilded
Horn-crowned she sneaked
Like a shadow made of stardust
She caressed me Whispering, now tearing
Then i woke from my slumber
With a branded skin
Our wild game just a memory
Out of a dreamer’s ballad
Never again i saw the forest’s daughter
Ah, no one believed my story
But among the eternal shapes of the ancient forest
An old man is allowed his final rest
Night arrived in the full moon’s shining
No wind, nothing moving the fields
I fell to slumber, the moss took me I wandered on her lands ever since i died
