KALANDRA - Helvegen (English Translation)
[Intro]
[Chorus]
Who shall sing me
Into death's sleep sling me
When I on the path to Hell go
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold
[Verse 1]
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
Then the deepest well
Gave me tears so harsh
From the Slain-father's pledge
I know everything, Odin
To whom you gave your eye
[Chorus]
Who shall sing me
Into death's sleep sling me
Whence I on the path to Hell go
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold
[Verse 2]
Early or in the day's end
The raven still knows if I fall
Once you stand at the gate to Hel
And whеn you have to tear free
I shall follow you
Over Gjallarbrú with my song
You will bе free from the bonds that bind you
You are free from the bonds that bound you
[Outro]
Cattle die
Friends die
So, too, must you die
Though one thing
Never dies;
The fair fame one has earned
Cattle die
Friends die
So, too, must you die
I know one
That never dies;
Judgment of a dead man's life
