Blow the Wind to the Horizon

Valknacht

Souffle le Vent vers l'Horizon

Souffle le vent vers l'horizon
Sur le rivage pleurent femmes et enfants
Brave fut ce nable combattant
Sur le drakkar il trône maintenant
Maintes batailles il a vécu
Maintes blessures il a reçu
Mais ce fut hier qu'Odin l'appela
Et d'une flèche son destin se scella

Fermant les yeux l'épée en main
L'écho du combat maintenant lointain
Vivre en homme libre fut un bonheur
Mourir bravement fut un honneur
Il n'avait aucune inquiétude
L'esprit serein sans amertume
Derrière lui son fils marchera
Brave guerrier il deviendra

Chevauchant à travers les nuées
Les Valkyries l'ont emportés
Et ce fut avec émoi
Qu'il entra au Valhalla
Tous ses ancêtres étaient présents
Lavant leur corne pour son avènement
Larmes dans les yeux, fierté dans le cœur
Il salua Odin dans toute sa grandeur

Et sur terre maintenant
Les guerriers chantent solennellement
Les flammes dévorent l'embarcation
(Et) le ciel est rougeoyant
Son fils était fier
De voir ainsi quitter son père
À ses propres enfants
Il contera la saga de son parent

Et sur terre maintenant
Les guerriers chantent solennellement
Les flammes dévorent l'embarcation
(Et) le ciel est rougeoyant
Dans un dernier hommage
Lances et épées pointent vers le ciel
Car c'est là-bas entre les étoiles
Que notre frère nous attendra

Blow the Wind to the Horizon

Blow the wind to the horizon
On the shore, women and children weep
Brave was this noble warrior
On the longship, he now reigns
Many battles he has faced
Many wounds he has received
But it was yesterday that Odin called him
And with an arrow, his fate was sealed

Closing his eyes, sword in hand
The echo of battle now far away
To live as a free man was a joy
To die bravely was an honor
He had no worries
His mind at peace, no bitterness
Behind him, his son will walk
A brave warrior he will become

Riding through the clouds
The Valkyries took him away
And it was with emotion
That he entered Valhalla
All his ancestors were present
Pouring their horn for his arrival
Tears in their eyes, pride in their hearts
He greeted Odin in all his glory

And on earth now
The warriors solemnly sing
The flames devour the vessel
(And) the sky is glowing red
His son was proud
To see his father depart this way
To his own children
He will tell the saga of his kin

And on earth now
The warriors solemnly sing
The flames devour the vessel
(And) the sky is glowing red
In a final tribute
Spears and swords point to the sky
For it is up there among the stars
That our brother will wait for us
