Engelbrekt

Women are gathered by the shore
To bury their man
Voices are echoing in troubled souls
But not a word from the mouths
 
An armour, cold from gore
Was put in her lap
It shows signs of heroism
Even if the armour is empty
 
And thus she threw her vail to the wind
And [her] legs lost their strength
 
The scribe honours our commander
He shall be carved into the most beautiful stone
Let the birds in the sky sing your name
Let the birds carry your dream
To the most noble warrior, to the most noble garb
Your name will never be forgotten
 
A colorful armour is but a memory
Is lowered into the grave
A last salute, trumpets, rifles
Slowly fill the eyes up with tears
 
The air is dense, the tears are finished
But the bird song can be heard in the silence
We shall carry his names through the winds of the storm
We shall follow his steps through the gates of death
 
And thus she threw her vail to the wind
 
Farmers with the flag held high
The scribe honours our commander
Engelbrekt the proud
They let the birds in the sky sing his name
For the farmers of noble garbs
For the most noble warriors of the most noble heir
Engelbrekt the proud
 
A shadow seeks it's way through the leaves
His grave is covered
Wild animals guards it closely
When the sun has set
 
An eagle dived at the end of the meadow
It's wings were sharply stretched
A salute was sung through the wind
 
We remember you Engelbrekt
