Du nordavind

Et blekt avdagsleite
famler hen, til nattvart himmel
vandring hjem, til nattsvart himmel
vandring hjem i eismal
under skumringens tidligste stjerne
tusm?rket dypner i det fjerne
Du nordavind, jeg speider fjern og n?r
kommer du igjen fra de ?e land hvor ingen mann er?
Tilsammen - vi to. over beksvart hav
Enn om du aldri hit vil komme
jeg tilbyi deg mitt kj?lnende blod
evig vil min sjel skue mot nord
stundom mitt sinn skal reise
til tid tar slutt paa jord
Hver en j?vel vill
som sank i vann f?r tid var til...
jeg drev forlatt og vandret vill
ennu har du ikke h?rt mitt hill
i tomme natten skimjet jeg
et glimt av land, en evig ild
[english translation:]
[you notherwind]
A pale hour of the day
grope away, to the night-black sky
wandering home, to the night-black sky
wandering home alone
under evening's earliest star
twilight sinks in the distance
You northern wind, i'm looking far and near
will you come again from the wasteland where there is no one?
Together - we two over black pitch sea
Even if you'll never come here
i can give you my chilling blood
forever will my soul look at the north
often my soul shall journey
until time ends on earth
As wild as a devil
that sank in the water before time was
i walked alone and wandered in the wilderness
still you didn't hear my call
in the empty night i can see
a glare in the land, an eternal fire
