Norðrljós

Skald Skald

Northern Lights

I stood to the north
By the seashore
Where the frost stones were salty
I stood to the north
By the seashore
Light is born in the darkness
On that land
Where I lie down
An island lay nearby
On that land
Where I lie down
Frost giants weave fate

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?

Rainbow, Bifröst, Northern Lights
I greet the Northern Lights, light of dawn

You must have seen her
Do you call her a rainbow?
She has three colors
They call her Northern Lights
A bridge to heaven from the earth
That the ancients knew
Over a sea that was blue as flame
They call her Northern Lights

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

Something wakes me
That comes from the willow
Every morning
I greet the light of dawn

What’s the way to heaven?
What’s the way to heaven?
From the earth?
