"Nattväsen"

[Swedish:]

Lommens sorgsna rop, dör stilla ut
Rimfaxes fradga faller, på Nerthus svala hy
Nattsvart, frustande, skrider han fram

Svaga glimrande ljus, från bergens vrår
Dimmfolket samlas, över äng och myr
Trädens skuggor vaknar, i nattligt sken

Ur högarnas fuktiga djup, under himlens blick
Till vargars ekande yl, träder klarhet fram
Ur nattens källa, strömmar de åter fram

Nattväsen, urväsen från skogarnas djup
Gråbens vandring i korpögas blick
Nattväsen, skuggväsen från jordens djup
Nattens eviga urkraft...

Nattväsen, urväsen från himlens djup
Stjärnklädda skepnader sveper ned
Nattväsen, skuggväsen från havets djup
Drivna av evig hunger...

Nattväsen, urväsen från bergets hall
Stenars skimmer i dimmornas land
Nattväsen, skuggväsen drar snart stilla hän
Vid Dellings svallande sken...

[English translation:]

The mournful cry of the loon, quietly abates
The froth of Rimfaxe falls, upon the skin of Nerthus
Pitch black, snorting, he strides forth

Faint glimmering lights,from the crevices of the mountain
The mist folk gather, over meadow and bog
The shadows of the trees awake, in nightly glow

From the moist deeps of the mounds, below the gaze of the sky
To the resounding howls of wolves, clarity emerges
From the spring of night, once more they flow

Night creatures, primal creatures from the deeps of the woods
The wolf's roaming in the gaze of the raven eye
Night creatures, shadow creatures from the deeps of the earth
The eternal primal force of the night...

Night creatures, primal creatures from the deeps of the heavens
Star-strewn shapes sweep down
Night creatures, shadow creatures from the deeps of the sea
Driven by eternal hunger...

Night creatures, primal creatures from the hall of the mountain
The shimmering of stones in the land of mists
Night creatures, shadow creatures soon will flee
By the light of Delling...
