Lyric translation:
HEIÐIN (Heathen)
(Vers 1:)
I walk through dark gorges
I turn my back to this wicked world
A lone walk in solitude
The sun sends shadows to me
Choose your journey on the beautiful expanse
Choose the path that you like
Set your foot forward so free
Breathe deeply, and the heart beats.
(Chorus:)
Listen to your ancient fathers
That walked the same path
Hear that whispers are coming from the mountains
They accompany your through the spaces and fields
(Vers 2:)
Up above a bird’s croak is heard
Ravens are flying high in the sky
They carry messages, and all they see
Is soon known at the Father’s step
