Vintersorg - SWEDISH to ENGLISH, please

[bucko]

someone translate SOME or ALL of this from Swedish to English, please and thanks? appreciated..


Tradens lavsal i brandgul skifting flammar
Hasten uppvaknar att galda livets la¥n
Branternas sagosynmin tarstiga sjal nu ammar
Neraver ormlikt ringlar sig a¥n

Tungt jag uppfar strava blint i senkskymningsbla¥sten
Vid bergvaggar maktiga som en valdig katedral
Nordstormens andedrakt a¥terfader frosten
Dar klipporna bildar den Marka tempelsal

Till Fjalls, Till Fjalls dar storm mig famnar
Till Fjalls, Till Fjalls vakad av ramnar

Mot himlabrynet avtecknas fjallets bradrahajder
Snasmyckade toppar likt tinnar och torn
De sa¥tar upp mot skyn nar drangsol lyser najder
I den stiglasa utmark ljuder fullandningens horn


Till Fjalls, Till Fjalls dar storm mig famnar
Till Fjalls, Till Fjalls vakad av ramnar

[skohornet]

I'm Norwegian, but I understand some Swedish so here's what I can do.
Stuff in parenthesis is stuff I'm really unsure about.


(The threads hall in yellow change flames)
The horse resurrects for the debt of life
The rumor of men are thirsty though drinking/breastfeeding
They're twisting wormlike downwards


Heavily I travel blindly in the late summer night wind
Wide cliffs like a powerful kathedral
The breath of the northern storm brings back the cold
Where the cliffs depict the plain temple hall

To the mountains, to the mountains where the storm embrace me
To the mountains, to the mountains watched by ravens

Against the heaven the mountain's heights are revealed
(Bejeweled) tops like (metal) and thorns
They venture to the clouds (when the worker-sun stops shining)
(In the wasteland you hear the spirits horn)

To the mountains, to the mountains where the storm embrace me
To the mountains, to the mountains watched by ravens



Hope it helps a little

hm... i have found another version of the original lyrics.. with different spelling mostly:

Till Fjälls

Trädgränsens lövsal i brandgul skiftning flammar
Hösten uppvaknar att gälda livets lån
Branternas sagosyn min törstiga själ nu ammar
Neröver ormlikt ringlar sig ån

Tungt jag uppför stråva blint i senskymningsblåsten
Vid bergväggar mäktiga som en väldig katedral
Nordstormens anderdräkt återföder frosten
Där klipporna bildar den mörka tempelsal

Till Fjälls, Till Fjälls där storm mig famnar
Till Fjälls, Till Fjälls vakad av ramnar

Mot himlabrynet avtecknas fjällets brödrahöjder
Snösmyckade toppar likt tinnar och torn
De ståtar upp mot skyn när drängsol lyser nöjder
I den stiglösa utmark ljuder fulländningens horn

Till Fjälls, Till Fjälls där storm mig famnar
Till Fjälls, Till Fjälls vakad av ramnar

(hope the umlaut letters work... i'm not sure whether this is the correct version, because i'm not swedish either... :P )

well, my knowledge of danish, german, and some english (and 4 months of learning swedish, if that counts ) led me to another translation... since i also didn't understand everything, i combined it with skohornet's, and i think it makes a bit more sense now:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the mountains

The tree-border's/timber-line's (i'm not sure about the word in english, but thats a line from where it's too cold for trees to grow on a mountain, or too far north..)
leaf-hall burns with orange shifting flame
Autumn calls upon/awakes to pay the debt of life
The rumour of the slopes my thirsty soul now nurses
Down over snakelike winds the river

Heavily I travel blindly in the late dusk breeze
Wide mighty mountain-walls like a vast cathedral
The breath of the northern storm rebirths the frost
The cliffs form the dark temple hall

To the mountains, to the mountains where the storm embraces me
To the mountains, to the mountains watched by ravens

Against the horizon stands out the mountain's heights
Snow-adorned tops like pinnacles and towers
They show off up against the sky/clouds (when the worker-sun stops shining/crowding shine is satisfied)
On pathless outlands you hear the spirits horn

To the mountains, to the mountains where the storm embraces me
To the mountains, to the mountains watched by ravens

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure about the end of the 3rd line in verse 3, so i just added my "unsure" version to skohornet's in the brackets.
In line 2 of the 1st verse, and line 3 of the 3rd verse, there's 2 possible translations that make sense (more or less), and i didn't know which one to choose, so decide for youself :P
