Lyrics
Den dimholjda gudinnan Hel
i nio varldar styr.
Pa Gjallarbron, i alven Gjoll
de doda soker Dig.
Allt for manga infor Dig fortvivla,
O stora gudinna i Hel,
Dit skote ar moder till tiden
hos Dig tager doden sin del.
Se nornorna spinna var trao,
vart ode styra de Till Gnipahalan gar var fard
likt Balder da vi do.
Vi till Helheim likt Hermod ska resa
hos Doden vi finna vart guld,
nar Balder en gang kommer ater
fran Urtid, Verdandi och Skuld.
Nar Helgrinden ska oppna sig
da stiger solen upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
tillsammans med hoder.
Som en skugga fanns Loke hos Hoder
nar Balder blev dodad med list.
och alla forsvann ner till Helheim
med Misteltens magiska kvist.
Se Helgrinden som oppnar sig
och guden stiger upp
nu aterfodd ur vinterns djup
med solen som sitt svard.
Den fordolda gudinnan i Helheim
bedriver bed livet sitt spel.
Ditt skote ar moder till tiden
O stora gudinna i Hel!
Lyrics translation
The dimholjda goddess Hel
nine wolves rule.
On the Gjallar Bridge, in alven Gjoll
they doda soker you.
All too many people tell you to doubt,
O Great Goddess in Hel,
Dit skote is the mother of time
with you, doden takes his share.
See the Norns spinning was trao,
vart ode directing They to Gnipahalan gar was fard
like Balder, we do.
We are going to Helheim like Hermod
at Doden we find our gold,
when Balder once comes back
from time immemorial, Verdandi and debt.
When the weekend is about to open up
then the sun rises
now backfood from the depths of winter
together with hoder.
Like a shadow Loki was at Hoder's
nar Balder was dodged with cunning.
and they all went down to Helheim
with the mistletoe's magic twig.
See the weekend that opens up
and the God ascends
now backfood from the depths of winter
with the sun as its answer.
The fordolda goddess of Helheim
pursues bed life its game.
Your shoe is the mother of time
O Great Goddess in Hel!
