Northern Lights

Skald

Norðrljós

Stóð fyr norðan
þÆr á sævarströnd
Hrímsteinana er saltir voru
Stóð fyr norðan
þÆr á sævarströnd
Ljós fæðist í myrkrinu
Á því landi
Er ek liggja veit
Ein ey lá þar skammt
Á því landi
Er ek liggja veit
Hrímþursar örlög drýgja

Sá mik vekr
Er af víði kemr
Morgin hverjan
Eg helsar baldrljós

Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Af jörðu?

Regnbogi, Bifröst, Norðrljós
Eg helsar Norðrljós Baldrljós

Hana muntu séð hafa
Vera kallir þú regnboga?
Hún er með þrem litum
Norðrljós heitir
Brú til himins af jörðu
þÆrs í árdaga áttar höfðu
Yfir hafi sem var blár sem logi
Norðrljós heitir

Sá mik vekr
Er af víði kemr
Morgin hverjan
Eg helsar baldrljós

Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Af jörðu?

Sá mik vekr
Er af víði kemr
Morgin hverjan
Eg helsar baldrljós

Sá mik vekr
Er af víði kemr
Morgin hverjan
Eg helsar baldrljós

Hver er leið til himins
Hver er leið til himins
Af jörðu?

Northern Lights

I stood to the north
By the seashore
Where the frost stones were salty
I stood to the north
By the seashore
Light is born in the darkness
On that land
Where I lie down
An island lay nearby
On that land
Where I lie down
Frost giants weave fate

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?

Rainbow, Bifröst, Northern Lights
I greet the Northern Lights, light of dawn

You must have seen her
Do you call her a rainbow?
She has three colors
They call her Northern Lights
A bridge to heaven from the earth
That the ancients knew
Over a sea that was blue as flame
They call her Northern Lights

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?
