Caur aizsaules vārtiem - Skyforger Übersetzung ins Englische

Caur aizsaules vārtiem

Tev sodien prieksa tals cels kuru iet,
Pa sauru sarkanu taku, tur kur saule riet;
Caur deviniem runu akmeniem Tu ienac svetajas liesmas,
Aizver acis un ieklausies velu dziesmas.

Sonakt no dieviem
Tev atklats bus
Vislielakais noslepums
Un pienaks diena, kad sis noslepums
Tiks atklats ikvienam no mums.

Tavs zobens Tev blakus un skaistakais terps,
Ej drosi pa taku, kur gaja tavs vectevs un tevs;
Mes tavas pedas zeme slepjam un minam,
Seit nenac vairs, ja tevi mes neaicinam.

Uz prieksu, uz Aizsaules valsti, ved tavs celojums,
Lidz ar baltajiem dumiem aiziet dvesele projam no mums,
Bet kermenis caur svetajam sarta liesmam,
Velin, Tu miruso pavelniek, lai Tev tas ziedots tiek!

Bet zini, tik ilgi
Kamer vel bernu berni
Par teva pagalmu skries,
Tev bus kur atgriezties.

Un dregnos rudena vakaros,
Kad migla par zemi klajas,
Tad ir tas laiks, kad Tevi atkal gaida majas;
Kur kleti galds bus lepni klats,
Caur Aizsaules ugunsvartiem
Tu seit atkal nac.

Through the Gates of the Otherworld

You have a long way to go today,
On a narrow red path, where the sun sets;
Through nine rune stones, you enter the sacred flame,
Close your eyes and listen to the songs of afterlife.

Tonight the gods
Will reveal to you
The greatest mystery
And a day will come when this mystery
Will be revealed to every one of us.

Your sword at your side and your finest raiment,
Go bravely on the path that your fathers and grandfathers walked;
We hide your footsteps and tread on them,
Come no more here, unless we call for you.

Forward, to the realm of the Afterworld, your journey leads,
With the white smoke your soul leaves us,
But your body through the holy scarlet flame,
In death, you join the heritage of the dead, and may it be blessed!

But know this, for as long
As children's children
Run through your father's farmstead,
You have a place to return.

And in the damp autumn evenings,
When the fog rolls over the land,
Then it is time for you to come home again;
Where the banquet table will be proudly set,
Through the firegate of the Otherworld,
You will come here again.
