Translation of the song Baldersbålet artist Thyrfing

Världens oskuld vilar tryggt på det vigda bålet

The world's innocence rests safely on the dedicated pyre

Allt som andas, allt som sörjt ryser i plötslig kyla

Everything that breathes, everything that has mourned shivers in sudden cold

Blodröd sjunker solen, fjällens skuggor växa

Blood-red the sun sets, the shadows of the mountains grow

Och högt i askens krona susar tidens höst

And high in the crown of the ash the fall of time soughs

Vi har samlats här i sluten ring

We have gathered here in a closed ring

Kring en likblek gud som om livet bragts

Around a deathly pale god as if life had burst

När dagen lida mot sitt slut

When the day passes to its end

Skall flammor stiga mot himlens fäste

Flames will rise towards the sky

I sorgens timma på sorgens dag, stiger fadern fram

In the hour of sorrow on the day of sorrow, the father steps forward

En fridlös fasas verop, som ur dvala facklan höjs

The lamentation of a peaceless horror, as if from lethargy the torch is raised

Ett sinne tyngt av kvalfull kvidan, en gåta utan svar

A mind burdened by agonizing wailing, a riddle without an answer

När stormen stämmor ekat ut, vad viskas till den döde?

When the voices of the storm have echoed out, what is whispered to the dead one?

Vi har samlats här i sluten ring

We have gathered here in a closed ring

Kring en likblek gud som om livet bragts

Around a deathly pale god as if life had burst

När dagen lida mot sitt slut

When the day passes to its end

Skall flammor stiga mot himlens fäste

Flames will rise towards the sky

Det som ingen trott, det som inget vetat

What no one had believed, what no one had known

Fann den vise, vad han fjärran letat?

Did the wise one find what he had searched for far and wide?
