Текст и перевод песни Taake - Atternatt

Atternatt

Det velter dis
Mot kyst av is
Ved vinterhav
Saa graatt og hardt
Og raatt og svart
Som indre grav

Paa vaandesti
I fordums li
Ved iskaldt vann
Skal du faa
Se kulden gaa
I form av mann

I Bjoergvins graa
Obskure og
Okkulte smau
Atternatt
Demonbesatt
Vil se deg dau

Her voktes port
I groent og sort
Av gammel orm
Og hjertet vris
Til Kongens pris
I rovdyrstorm

Sjelesalg
Gir dunkle valg
Og demper sol
Se og knel
Naar Nordmanns sjel
Blir ormebol

For Fanden flyr
I nattens dyr
Saar vonde korn
Vaar nattestid
Ser porten vid
Paa Lyderhorn

For Norges aere maa vi drepe
Arvens froe
Skal vi stroe
For vi svinger Nordens svepe
Av evig snoe
La solen doe

Se de dunkle skyer sveve
For vinterjakt
I djevlepakt
Naar vi knytter Norges neve
I Herrens drakt
Mot evig prakt

Hoder boeyd i skam
Menneske blir lam
Hoder hoeyt i aere
Fanen skal vi baere

Atternatt

The mist rolls
Against a coast of ice
At a winter sea
So gray and hard
And raw and black
Like an inner grave

On a path of agony
In a bygone shelter
At an icy water
You must receive
See the cold go
In the form of a man

In Bjoergvin's gray
Obscure and
Occult alleyways
Atternatt
Demon-possessed
Wants to see you dead

Here the gate is guarded
In green and black
By an ancient serpent
And your heart is wrung
In honor of the King
In a predatory storm

The selling of souls
Gives you somber choices
And dampens the sun
Look and kneel
When the Norwegian soul
Becomes a serpent's nest

For the Devil flies
In the beasts of the night
Sows evil seeds
Our night time
Sees the wide gate
At Lyderhorn

For the honor of Norway we must kill
The inheritance's seed
We must sow
For we swing the whip of the North
Of eternal snow
Let the sun die

See the dark clouds float
For a winter hunt
In a pact with the devil
When we clench Norway's fist
In the Lord's garment
Against eternal splendor

Heads bowed in shame
Humans become weak
Heads held high in honor
We shall bear the banner
