Translation of the song Köldvisa artist Ofdrykkja

Han satt på fjällets topp

He sat at the top of the mountain

och höll sin kaffekopp

And held a cup of coffee

med en skakig hand

In his shaking hand.

i gråaste Norrland

In the grayest place in Norrland

vinden blåste kall

The wind blew cold.

vid mörkrets anfall

When the darkness fell

stugan lockade

He was lured into the hut

då glöden slocknade

By the fire that went out.

I kylan där han låg

In the cold where he lay

kom en värmevåg

He was washed over by the heat wave.

Som att ro i hamn

It was like rowing in the harbor

eller hålla i sin famn

Or feeling warmth

värmen av en mö

Of maiden's embrace.

ett sorglöst sätt att dö

What a sorrowless way to die.
