Translation of the song lyrics Naar Kulda Tar - Arcturus

Naar Kulda Tar (original)

Naar vinteren tar bitter fart
Og steiner sprekker i frostklar natt
Ved svarte tjern under naken li
Da er villmarken vond å ferdes i
Vi befarer store sletter
Der sneen ligger tykk
Det blaaser kaldt — vi skal dø
Vi har sørgelig nok forfalt
Naar vinteren tar bitter fart
Fra still tjern
Till hortbetonte vidder
Farvel

(translation)

Towards winter, bitter speed picks up
And rocks crack in the frosty night
By black ponds under naked li
Then the wilderness hurts to travel in
We inspect large plains
Where the snow is thick
It's blowing cold - we're going to die
We have sadly fallen due
Towards winter, bitter speed picks up
From quiet pond
To hilly expanses
Goodbye
