Lyrics

Høyt deroppe står jeg i tiden;
I den grønne, vakre og varme,
Sterke trekronen, i hvite skyer,
Omgitt av de vakre og vennlige få.
Jeg faller.
Helt ned.
Høyt deroppe står jeg i tiden;
I toppen av verdenstreets krone.
Fra høyt deroppe faller jeg fra tiden;
Ned i det bunnløse, tomme og tidløse.
I fallet endrer treets bark form.
Grener og kvister, løv og nøtter,
Farrer forbi meg i voldsom fart.
Røttene og marken nærmer seg.
Tiden min renner bort og ned til et annet sted.
Inn i døden, ut fra døden.
Inn i livet, ut fra livet.
Nedover og over elven
Som ingen kilde har.
Inn i mørket, ut fra mørket;
Inn i kulden, ut fra kulden.
Gjennom tiden, ut fra tiden;
Derinne hvor guddommene smiler.
Jeg drikker fra glemselens elv,
Ror tørrskodd over hatets hav;
Seiler med vinden i ryggen,
Til maktenes ende, begynnelse og mening.

Lyrics translation

High up there I stand in the time;
In the green, beautiful and warm,
Strong tree crown, in white clouds,
Surrounded by the beautiful and friendly few.
I fall.
Completely down.
High up there I stand in the time;
In the top of the world tree crown.
From high up there I fall from time;
Down into the bottomless, empty and timeless.
In the fall, the tree's bark changes shape.
Branches and twigs, leaves and nuts,
Farrer past me in violent speed.
The roots and field are approaching.
My time is running away and down to another place.
Into death, out from death.
Into life, out of life.
Down and across the river
As no source has.
Into darkness, out from darkness;
Into the cold, out from the cold.
Through time, out of time;
Thereinside where the deities are smiling.
I drink from the river of oblivion,
Rudder dry shod over the sea of hatred;
Sailing with the wind in the back,
To the end, beginning and meaning of power.
