Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik?s Skuggsjá tore hund

Select language to translate this lyric

eng. translation
The eagle has fallen
resting in forgetfull sleep
The crow has croaked in the eagle's nest
Believing itself equal
Proud legacy
You never won
Poor was the pay
Slayer of the king of shame
People of the land gathered
Flocks followed
Defied starvation
Chieftain of the peasant-army
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
Even after death
The piteous king enjoys his feed
Fills a greedy belly with power and
wisdom absent
Manipulative rumor
Was cultivated
Stupidifying the land!
Silencing the land!
A tree without nourish
Rots on it's roots
A tree without roots
...Falls
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
