Default Swe-->Eng: Nordbloss Och Gasteld and Trollslottet by Otyg

I'd really like the translations to these two songs, I know the second is a bit too long but I hope someone can give me a hand!

Nordbloss Och Gasteld
Norrskenets trollsejd i vildsköna natten
maktgjuter gasteldens flammande sken
Eldfängda irrbloss på istäckta vatten
belyser då snårskog och frostsprucken sten

Böljebägarens silverklara
midvintersal under nordbloss och grant
Galderbesjungen av dråpgirig mara
Nymånens bävsamma bundsförvant
------------------------------

Trollslottet

Om dunkel stig i mångmilaskogar förtäljs i bergasagan
En snårig led som kantas av gyger som har blivit til sten
I grenars verk av vindars iver höres ödslig klagan
Vad lurar bortom nästa krök, bortom irrblossken?

Din rädslo äro större än att bliva rovdjursföda
När du trampar stigens väg i mystisk labyrint
I ringlande vandring svår, en ändlös trälamöda
Genom kitteldalens djup upp mot högan klint

Vid dess slu.t* den digra skugga fägnar mänskligt öga *(to write the word without problems I had to change a bit the spelling)
Lockar trolskt i aftonbärgring med borglik silhuett
Med vindbrygga över vallgrav tornen prålar höga
Som från en fyr det starka ljusspel äreporten beklätt

Ett avskorligt kungadöme i molnens vida kappor
Nedanför nu synes vandra midnattflammans hov
Tunga steg uppför berget forna tempeltrappor
När drängsol går i himlen högt, de prisar nattens lov

I trollslottet
Trollslottet, sagovindars boning

Skuggornas runokväde ifrån denna klunga
En dyster hymn av malmklangsstämmor ifrån hedna valv
De grymvulna urtidstroll i norrönt mål nu sjunga
För denna urlivsformens väsen själva berget skalv

Som villebråd i stenlagt rike nidfullt du beskådas
De omvände synesns bilder, även dina ord
Och aldrig skall du från urtidsborgens klor benådas
Ty du bjöds på glömskebrygd vid trollkungens bord

Swedish meets English.

I just love Vintersorg. Trollslottet is one of my favourite Otyg songs, so...

The mountain tales tell of a shady path in deep forests
A brushy path flanked by female trolls that have turned to stone
In branches is the desolate wailing from the wind's ardour heard
What lurks beyond the next turn, beyond the ghostly glow*?

Your fear is greater than that of becoming predator food
When you tread the path forward in a mysterious labyrinth
In hard, winding wander, an endless thralling burden
Through the depth of the kettle valley, up to the summit high

At its end the great shadow delights the human eye
Lures bewitchingly in the evening with castle-like silhouette
With a drawbridge over the moat, the towers glitter high
Like from a beacon, a strong light play adorns the main gate

A hidden kingdom in the wide coats of the clouds
Below now seemingly wanders the court of the midnight flame
Heavy steps up the mountain's ancient temple stairs
When the moon goes high in the sky, they praise the night

In the castle of trolls
The castle of trolls, dwelling of fairy winds
Troll castle
Troll castle

The shadows' rune chanting from this crowd
A gloomy hymn of metallic voices from heathen vaults
The fierce primeval trolls now sing in northern tongue
The mountain itself trembles before these ancient beings

Like prey in stony kingdom you are wickedly watched
They turn your vision's images, even your words
And never shall you you get mercy from the claws of the ancient castle
For you were given the potion of oblivion at the table of the troll king

In the castle of trolls
The castle of trolls, the dwelling of fairy winds
Troll castle
Troll castle

*irrbloss literary translates as "will-o'-the-wisp"

Thanks! Otyg are definitely one of the best bands I've ever heard! Mr V is an absolute genius!
