Að Hausti [English translation]
Að Hausti [English translation]
Striding quick across the sands
The south, it calls us
Half our time and half our trouble stands
Fresh winds befall us
No-one knows where fate will chime
What your destiny holds
For the crone, once upon a time
Woman, wind so cold
Shoes worn, cape is frayed
Frozen streams are weeping
Foul path with rhymes is laid
Tangled floes are sweeping
Fields of innocence
No more than an ember
Trees will lose their awning
Old wounds opened by
What she will remember
Mountain’s wounds are yawning
Leaves they turned, no word spoken
Trust unearned, time unbroken
Silence learned, faith it’s token
Leaves they turned, no word spoken
Lonesome traveller, searches out her way
Mountain’s wounds are yawning
No-one next to her, nothing more to say
Trees will lose their awning
Wind-claws rend her flesh, silent is her scream
Tangled floes are sweeping
Blue hands trembling, drinking from a stream
Frozen streams are weeping
Summer’s day is gone, sun is sinking low
Woman, wind so cold
Lays down by a rock, sleeping in the snow
What your destiny holds
Red dawn strokes the face of a frozen sleeper
Fresh winds befall us
Just like Brynhildur, the Gods will be her keepers
The south, it calls us
Leaves they turned, no word spoken
Trust unearned, time unbroken
Silence learned, faith it’s token
Leaves they turned [2x], no word spoken
Leaves they turned, turned to cinder
Our trust burned, you the tinder
Silence learned, faith it’s token
Leaves they turned [2x], no word spoken
Leaves they turned, rocks their landing
Our trust spurned, you left standing
Silence learned, faith it’s token
Leaves they turned [2x], no word spoken
