I Troldskog Faren Vild

Lost in the Troll Forest

I Troldskog Faren Vild

They waited for the fool's returnDe ventede tosens hiemkomst
She was in the dark woods, lostHun vaer i morck skog faren vild
The snow's blankets had spread outSneens tepper hafde bredet sig hen
On the path home - her only legPaa stien hiem - hendes eeneste ben
If only she couldOm hun bare kunde
Follow the stars' pathsFolge stiernernes baner
She wouldn't lose her wayEy hun skulde vildfare
Among these dark graysBlandt disse morcke grauer
The forest's dark arms warmed over the strange guestSkogens morcke arme forvarmede sig ofver dend fremmede giaest
Made her aware of her deepest thoughts' sorrowGiorde hende vaer i siine inderste tankers beemod
That in the mountain king's chamber thirsted for Christian bloodAt i bergekongens kammer torstes efter christenblod

The underground beings:De underjordiske:
It approaches quietly: A sorrow-clad girlDet naermer sig stille: Een sorgeklaedt pige
Sits inside with folded handsSidder derinde med foldede haender
She sends a prayer to the heavenly realmHun sender een bon til det himmeldske rige

Above her headOfver hendes hode
It drips from the branchDet drybber fra qviist
Drop by drop like bloodDraabe for drabbe som blodet
From the body of Jesus ChristFra kroppen til Jesu Christ

The girl:Pigen:
Oh, sometimes in a gloomy forestAa, eismal i ein uggin skog
I feel that tonightEg kjenn at i kveld
Tonight, they think of meI kveld tenkjer paa meg
