Månegarm - Slaget vid Bråvalla (English Translation)
[Verse]
Hear the song of the raven. Armies gathering, from all the Nordic kingdoms
Pent up wrath, testing the calm of the Berserkers
Infamous warriors, at the command of the shieldmaidens
The ground trembles with the din of armies
The battle will take place at Bråvalla Heath
Even Ring, brought large numbers
A sea of spears like the reed of the seashore
This shall be a worthy place to die
Let the battle horns ring out, over the moors if Bråvalla
Singing, over the moors of Bråvalla
[Bridge]
Will Odin not grant us victory?
As he has so often before
[Chorus]
If you do not want to grant me victory
Then take me with you, let me be a guest in your hall
Let me fall in battle, alongside my men
Let me die with honor!
[Bridge]
Look - at Sigurd's army, in battle formation it stands
Does - not Odin, grant us victory?
Who - has taught him how to fylka his men?
Does - not Odin, grant us victory?
All those who fall on the battlefield, I give to Odin!
[Verse]
A river of flesh and iron
Armies clashing
Under the force of the banner
Limbs dismembered, chainmail scattered
Shields breaking, skulls crushed, in violent fury
And warriors fall in piles
Where heroes drown in blood
[Chorus]
If you do not want to grant me victory
Then take me with you, let me be a guest in your hall
Let me fall in battle, alongside my men
Let me die with honor!
If you do not want to grant me victory
Then take me with you, let me be a guest in your hall
Let me fall in battle, alongside my men
Let me die with honor!
With honor I Die
