Jardartra from Enn by Eivør

Jarðartrá

Enn rennur hon
sveitareyð
feigdaráin før
blóðgar tíni svørð

Úr dýpinum
flotna ræ
havsins aldingarð
sært tú reka har

Lyft upp
tíni eygu
og skoða meg
títt sanna heim

Lýð á
mítt harmaljóð
kom legg teg í
mín bláa favn

Osandi
av tíni grimd
ævigt vápnagrá
er tín jarðartrá

Eldurin
má loga út
lívsins fyrndarlag
Kanst tú syngja tað?


DUST TO DUST

Still it gushes forth
in crimson waves
fat river of fates
bloodies sharpened blades

From its dark depths
corpses rise
all the ocean’s delights
drift before your sight

Lift up
your clouded eyes
and look at me
your unmasked home

Listen
to my lament
come lie down in
my blue embrace

Reeking of
your cruel rage
flaking weapon-rust
crusts your fierce death-lust

Raging pyres
must blaze out
life’s primal song
