Select language to translate this lyric
The North Star wanders my dark blue view
Nature strikes the strings of her harp
The troll fire cuts through mountain air and cloud
Illuminates heath and budding meadows
Caught out of the Nordic soul, caught out of the Nordic soul
Human veils gild fairy-tale landscapes
Caught out of the Nordic soul, caught out of the Nordic soul l
A sight that awakens memory
A bewitching power that fetters the mind
Morning mist lingers with dew in alliance
Sneaks slowly under the ¤der's firs
The most pious dream by the grove of siktandarn
In the marrow of the earth now the springs urge
Caught from the soul of the north, caught from the soul of the north ¤l
Human veils gild fairy-tale landscapes
Caught out of the north's soul, caught out of the north's soul
The scope soothed my sorrow-laden pile
When I saw the princely mountain world
[English translation:]
Captured By The Spirit Of The North
The North Star wanders my gloom-blue view
Nature hits on the strings of her harp
The magic fire cuts through mountain air and sky
Illuminates pine moor and sprouting meadows
Captured by the spirit of the north, captured by the spirit of the north
Veils of moonshine gilds tale-like landscapes
Captured by the spirit of the north, captured by the spirit of the north
A delight for the eye that wakes the memory
An enchanting power that fetters the mind
The morning mist marches in union with dew
Moves slowly forward under fathers' spruces
The most gentle dream sight at the grove of the end of sight
In the marrow of the earth the springs now call
Captured by the spirit of the north, captured by the spirit of the north
Veils of moonshine gilds tale-like landscapes
Captured by the spirit of the north, captured by the spirit of the north
The sight appeased my sorrowfilled mind
When I saw the princely mountain world
