Belus Død

Death of Belus

Belus Død

The seer climbs up the treeSeidmannen klatrer opp i tre
finds the earth's old pain therefinner der jords gamle smerte
cuts it down in autumn's peace,kutter den ned i høstens fred,
with scissors, carves out its heartmed saks skjærer ut dets hjerte

Oak leaves fall to the groundEikens løv mot bakken faller
The seer calls the spirits!seidmannen åndene kaller!
Oak leaves drop to the earthEikens løv mot jorden faller
The seer chants his magic verses!seidmannen tryllevers traller!

The onion is laid in linenLøken legges i lintøy ned
sacred oak tree spirithellige eiketreånden
The seer secures the world's peaceSeidmannen sikrer verdens fred
fertility, sun power in hand!fruktbarhet, solmakt i hånden!

Oak leaves fall to the groundEikens løv mot bakken faller
The seer calls the spirits!seidmannen åndene kaller!
Oak leaves drop to the earthEikens løv mot jorden faller
The seer chants his magic verses!seidmannen tryllevers traller!

There is the sun's burning powerDer er solens brennende kraft
there is the earth's fertile seader er jordens fruktbare hav
in the seer's mighty staffi seidmannens mektige skaft
in the lord's enchanted rod.i drottens beåndede stav
