Where you stood as a youth
And around you heavy groaning
Was the shadow's trollish dance
It might bring forth a tear
Of that [which] time gives you again
Time has grown some years
In spite of the emotion that remains
You stood silent in black groves
Filled with sorrow and longing
From your soul is attacked by memory
And you the spell wanted to bind
The treasure you had by name
The treasure you had by name
The hardest thing about this song is that the lyrics are old and words are more Danish than Norwegian. If there is anything anyone sees that needs correcting, please let me know.
And yes, it is from your soul, not for your soul.
