dagroon:

I noticed this track in episode 9 and realized it was in Icelandic, so I thought I’d write down the lyrics and translate for those that are interested. The meaning is very beautiful and I’m pretty sure it comes straight from Twelve’s heart.

Since I’m translating this just from listening to it, there will most likely be minor errors since the singing is a little unclear at some points (there’s one line I can’t seem to make words out of).

(Vetur, sumar, samanrenna)

Þar sem gróir, þar er von,

allt sem græðir geymir von,

úr klakaböndum kemur hún fram,

af köldum himni fikrar sig fram,

veröld sýnist stillt, allt er kyrrt,

allt er hljótt, kviknar von,

meðan allt sækir fram, streymir fram,

verður til, þá er von,

hún lýsir allt sem er,

allt sem er og var og verður,

hún sest í ljúfan dvala,

(unintelligible)

Þar sem glóir, þar er von,

allt sem græðir geymir von,

úr klakaböndum kemur hún fram,

af köldum himni fikrar sig fram,

veröld sýnist stillt, allt er kyrrt,

allt er hljótt, kviknar von,

meðan allt sækir fram, streymir fram,

verður til, þá er von,

hún bræðir allt sem er,

allt sem er og var og verður,

hún sest í djúpan dvala,

(unintelligible)

í hrauni verður hlý,

í hrauni verður hlý,

í heimi verður hlý,

í hrauni verður hlý.

TRANSLATION:

(Winter, summer, converging)

Where things grow, there is hope,

all that heals has hope,

out of bonds of ice, she appears,

from a cold sky, inches herself forward,

the world seems set, everything is still,

everything is quiet, hope is sparked,

while everything advances, flows forward,

comes into existence, then there’s hope,

she illuminates everything there is,

everything there is and was and will be,

she falls into a sweet slumber,

(unintelligible)

from a cold sky, inches herself forward,

the world seems set, everything is still,

everything is quiet, hope is sparked,

while everything advances, flows forward,

comes into existence, then there’s hope,

she melts everything there is,

everything there is and was and will be,

she falls into a deep slumber,

(unintelligible)

in lava becomes warm,

in lava becomes warm,

in a world becomes warm,

in lava becomes warm.
