The Stone Sentinel - Skyforger перевод на английский

The Stone Sentinel

Zem pelēkām debesīm
Krauc un riņķo kraukļi
Starp līkiem purva bērziem
Mirkst seni kapu lauki
Sen saule šeit nespīd vairs
Ik dienas smalks lietus līņā
No dzīviem retais kāds
Te ceļu atrast zinās
Drēgna migla pār purvu lien
Caur zālēm un dumbriem – Kurbads brien
Stāv baigs un draudīgs te viss
Miglā novaid kāds žēli
Puskrēslā sārtas acis zib
Lokās spocīgi tēli
Kā sala jūrā
Viss zaļām sūnām klāts
Tur purva vidū
Guļ milzis kāds...
Drūms un bargs purvā guļ akmens sargs
Nav vairs tālāk ceļa kur iet
Drūms un bargs purvā guļ akmens sargs
Tur viņš vārtus uz pazemi ciet
Ja vari to celt, malā velt
Melna atvērsies eja
Tikai tas, kas bezbailīgs būs
Spēs tur nolaisties lejā
– "Kas ir, Kurbad, vai dūša papēžos jau?"
– "Laižos es lejā, velns viņu rauj!"
Nu gaidat velni,
Kurbads jau nāk
Drīz galvas ripos
Velnukāvējs kapāt kad sāks!

The Stone Sentinel

Under the gray skies
Ravens gather and circle
Among the crooked birch trees of the swamp
The old graveyards are soaking
The sun hasn't shone here in a long time
Every day a fine rain falls
Of the living, few
Will find their way here
Damp fog creeps over the swamp
Through the grass and mud – Kurbads walks
Everything here is terrible and menacing
A mournful wail echoes through the fog
Pink eyes flash in the twilight
Spooky figures bend
Like an island in the sea
Everything is covered in green moss
There in the middle of the swamp
Lies a giant...
Gloomy and severe in the swamp lies a stone guard
There is no further way to go
Gloomy and severe in the swamp lies a stone guard
There he closes the gates to the underworld
If you can lift it, roll it aside
A black passage will open
Only he who is fearless
Will be able to descend there
– "What is it, Kurbad, have you lost your nerve?"
– "I'm going down there, damn it!"
Now wait, devils,
Kurbad is coming
Soon heads will roll
When the Devil Slayer starts chopping!
