"Dauden" lyrics
[Norwegian:]
Sognafjorden ligge mørke og blanke
Møddlo viddle fjeddl
Braott so lyse so lyse fjorden opp
Frao himmedl høyre ein tordenskreddl
Eit dimt lys so bli klarare mot land
Lyset vise veg
Pao gravferdsdagen e da dar baoten vi sigla
Dao e da likferd
Feigdaklokkene kime, dao veit ein ke so venta
Dauden e komen, kem e da han ska henta?
Lagnadstundi e komen, dauden ha sendt bod
No ska livet enda, no e da tid for sorg
Uglao site å remje pao take
Dao veit ein da ekje noken veg tebake
Feigdi ha varsla at ho inkån skal henta
Eg veit kem, men lyte berre venta
Dinna dagen so addle frykta
Frao dinna dagen kan ingen flykta
Ao jord e ein komen te jord skal ein bli
Kroppen e daue, men sjeli e fri
Dagen dan e komenm da e dommedagen min
Livet mitt ha enda, eg ha visna inn
Eg kjempa ti eg daua, men kampen blei for hard
No e mi tid ute, eg ha faddle I dag
Feigdaklokkene kime, dao veit ein ke so venta
Dauden e komen, da e meg han ska henta
[English translation:]
[Death]
The Sognefjord lies gloomy and still
Between wild mountains
Abruptly the fjord lights up
From the skies, thunderous roars can be heard
A dim light becomes clearer towards land
The light shows the way
On the day of the funeral, that's where the boat will sail
Then the procession will be
The deathbells are tolling, then one knows what awaits
Death has arrived, who is he taking away?
The time of fate has come, Death has sent its bid
A life will soon end, the time sorrow is now
The owl is screeching at the roof
One knows then that there is no way back
Death has warned that he will take someone away
I know whom, but I will have to wait
This day they all fear
From this day none can flee
Earth to earth, dust to dust
The body is dead, but the soul is free
The day has come, Judgement day is mine
My life has ended, I've withered away
I fought on 'til I died, but the struggle became too much
My time has run out, I fell today
The deathbells are tolling, then one knows what awaits
Death has arrived, it is I he's taking away
Sognafjorden ligge mørke og blanke
Møddlo viddle fjeddl
Braott so lyse so lyse fjorden opp
Frao himmedl høyre ein tordenskreddl
Eit dimt lys so bli klarare mot land
Lyset vise veg
Pao gravferdsdagen e da dar baoten vi sigla
Dao e da likferd
Feigdaklokkene kime, dao veit ein ke so venta
Dauden e komen, kem e da han ska henta?

No ska livet enda, no e da tid for sorg
