Lyrics of Natten loftet sitt tunge ansikt - Dismal Euphony

Natten loftet sitt tunge ansikt (original)

Hyt over kalde tkers gys
steg vakker song fra alvers sal
skogkledde ser i mnelys
vandret hen gjennim ukjent dal
I grnne dyp, bak mrke trr
langs dunkle stier, slyngende
Huldresltt i nattens slr
langt der borte, syngende
Mnen speilte seg i dype tjern i skogen
Elven kastet seg i foss nedover fjellsiden
Dype fjorder omkranset av ruvende fjell
vket stille i natten
Natten lftet sitt tunge ansikt
over skogens gripende armer
Dens dystre yne, grtende
stirret srgmodig i mine.

(translation)

Hyt over cold tkers shudder
rose beautiful song from alvers hall
wooded look in moonlight
wandered through unknown valley
In green deep, behind dark trees
along dark paths, winding
Huldresltt in the night's slr
far over there, singing
The moon was reflected in deep ponds in the forest
The river plunged into a waterfall down the mountainside
Deep fjords surrounded by towering mountains
woke up quietly at night
The night lifted its heavy face
over the gripping arms of the forest
Its gloomy eyes, crying
stared sadly into mine.
