"Draugen" text
"Draugen"
[Swedish:]
Sval dagg täcker drakens kropp
Glittrar likt Nannas tårar
Skär stilla sin spegelbild
Ett tecken i tystnaden
Glödande ögon, förlorad i djupen
Sorgefyllt kval, drauganatt...
En jöstvind fyller seglet
Örnens skri över klippig kust
Malströmmar stiger ur djupen
Spillror från slocknat liv
Glödande ögon, förlorad i djupen
Sorgefyllt kval, drauganatt...
Stormvindar från öst och väst
Draken kränger i havets käft
Rans döttrar nio stiger upp
Tronar i sin böljande skrud
En tjutande stämma i vinden
Trasiga segel viner och slår
Med glödande ögon i för
Kväder sin klagosång
En likfärd från djupen
Kvalfyllda ekon i stormens dån
Svarta drivande skuggor
Spillror av falnat liv...
Glödande ögon, förlorad i djupen
Sorgefyllt kval, drauganatt...
[English translation:]
Cool dew covers the body of the dragon
Glistening like the tears of Nanna
Serenely cutting its reflection
A sign in the silence
Glowing eyes, lost in the deep
Doleful suffering, drauganight...
An autumn breeze fills the sail
The cry of the eagle over rocky coast
Maelstroms arise from the deep
Remnants from life gone out
Glowing eyes, lost in the deep
Doleful suffering, drauganight...
Gales from east and west
Thrash the dragon in the gape of the sea
The nine daughters of Ran rise
Towering in billowing gowns
A wailing voice in the wind
Torn sails whine and whip
With glowing eyes at the prow
Singing its lament...
A funeral procession from the deep
Tormented echoes in the clamour of the storm
Black compelling shadows
Remnants from extinguished life...
Glowing eyes, lost in the deep
Doleful suffering, drauganight...
