Souffle le Vent vers l'Horizon

Blow the Wind to the Horizon

Souffle le Vent vers l'Horizon

Blow the wind to the horizonSouffle le vent vers l'horizon
On the shore, women and children weepSur le rivage pleurent femmes et enfants
Brave was this noble warriorBrave fut ce nable combattant
On the longship, he now reignsSur le drakkar il trône maintenant
Many battles he has facedMaintes batailles il a vécu
Many wounds he has receivedMaintes blessures il a reçu
But it was yesterday that Odin called himMais ce fut hier qu'Odin l'appela
And with an arrow, his fate was sealedEt d'une flèche son destin se scella

Closing his eyes, sword in handFermant les yeux l'épée en main
The echo of battle now far awayL'écho du combat maintenant lointain
To live as a free man was a joyVivre en homme libre fut un bonheur
To die bravely was an honorMourir bravement fut un honneur
He had no worriesIl n'avait aucune inquiétude
His mind at peace, no bitternessL'esprit serein sans amertume
Behind him, his son will walkDerrière lui son fils marchera
A brave warrior he will becomeBrave guerrier il deviendra

Riding through the cloudsChevauchant à travers les nuées
The Valkyries took him awayLes Valkyries l'ont emportés
And it was with emotionEt ce fut avec émoi
That he entered ValhallaQu'il entra au Valhalla
All his ancestors were presentTous ses ancêtres étaient présents
Pouring their horn for his arrivalLavant leur corne pour son avènement
Tears in their eyes, pride in their heartsLarmes dans les yeux, fierté dans le cœur
He greeted Odin in all his gloryIl salua Odin dans toute sa grandeur

And on earth nowEt sur terre maintenant
The warriors solemnly singLes guerriers chantent solennellement
The flames devour the vesselLes flammes dévorent l'embarcation
(And) the sky is glowing red(Et) le ciel est rougeoyant
His son was proudSon fils était fier
To see his father depart this wayDe voir ainsi quitter son père
To his own childrenÀ ses propres enfants
He will tell the saga of his kinIl contera la saga de son parent

And on earth nowEt sur terre maintenant
The warriors solemnly singLes guerriers chantent solennellement
The flames devour the vesselLes flammes dévorent l'embarcation
(And) the sky is glowing red(Et) le ciel est rougeoyant
In a final tributeDans un dernier hommage
Spears and swords point to the skyLances et épées pointent vers le ciel
For it is up there among the starsCar c'est là-bas entre les étoiles
That our brother will wait for usQue notre frère nous attendra
