Baldersbålet(original) |
Världens oskuld vilar tryggt på det vigda bålet |
Allt som andas, allt som sörjt ryser i plötslig kyla |
Blodröd sjunker solen, fjällens skuggor växa |
Och högt i askens krona susar tidens höst |
Vi har samlats här i sluten ring |
Kring en likblek gud som om livet bragts |
Når dagen lida mot sitt slut |
Skall flammor stiga mot himlens fäste |
I sorgens timma på sorgens dag, stiger fadern fram |
En fridlos fasas verop, som ur dvala facklan höjs |
Ett sinne tyngt av kvalfull kvidan, en gåta utan svar |
När stormen stämmor ekat ut, vad viskas till den döde? |
Det som ingen trott, det som inget vetat |
Fann den vise, vad han fjärran letat? |
(translation) |
The innocence of the world rests securely on the consecrated fire |
Everything that breathes, everything that mourns shakes in sudden cold |
Blood red drops the sun, the shadows of the mountains grow |
And high in the crown of the ashes, the autumn of time whizzes by |
We have gathered here in a closed circle |
Around a corpse-pale god as if life had been brought |
When the day suffers towards the end |
Let flames rise against the firmament of heaven |
In the hour of sorrow on the day of sorrow, the father emerges |
A restless phase is revealed, which is raised from the dormant torch |
A mind weighed down by a tormented quiver, a riddle with no answer |
When the storm echoes out, what is whispered to the dead? |
That which no one believed, that which no one knew |
Did the sage find what he was looking for from afar? |
