Translation
A golden noose
When the moon flees and a new day dawns
In the eastern skies
A king's death in the sky ablaze
The raven journeys low
His guts filled with the flesh of Finns
Their most valued prey, a nobleman’s blood
With skin as white as newly fallen snow
Here, over the Eastern Sea
In chains without steel
She was wed next to her father’s corpse
But biding her time for revenge
She was forced to be his bride
but swore an oath
His payment will be a braided rope
And a noose made of gold
A lifeless man gazes upon the dawn by Lögen’s Beach
A bejeweled death in red gold
When the moon flees and a new day dawns
in the eastern skies
The sentence was carried out, a blood debt
Our king has been killed, now resting in a hall of leaves
In a golden noose, by a woman’s hand
When the moon flees, and a new day dawns
in the eastern skies
A king’s death in the sky ablaze
When the moon flees and a new day dawns
In the eastern skies
A king's death in the sky ablaze.
