Ute i skagens morke
Mellom fjell og berg
Dundrer ett torden
Som rullende kampesteiner.
Det er Troll pa haeferd,
I krigsmarsj mot Thorr.
Troll som vil forlate
Jatunheim i natt.
Trollene marsjerer;
I morket lyser
Deres oyne sin fajker,
Deres oyne sin fajker,
Deres knyttnever subber
Pa bakken nar de gar
De puster og peser
En krigssang
Av montone lyder
Er besvart av Thorr:
Som en tordensky
Som ett hammerslag
Kommer Thorr fra Asgard
... I hans vrede
... I hans sinne
Slakter han Troll i forakt.
- Na skal du blo, Thorr.
- Na skal du do, Troll.
- Slag skal du ta, Thorr.
- Smerte vil du lide, Troll.
- Gudene skal falle og Jotunheiemen herske.
- Trollene skal bli til stein og
Odin's makt vil addri do.
Thorr's Hammer drepte mange
Troll i kamp i natt
Kampesteinene ligger spredt
Som lik i skogen.
[English translation:]
Troll
Out in the darkness of the forest
Among mountains and rocks
Roars a thunder
Like rolling boulders.
It is trolls going to war
Marching to war against Thorr.
Trolls that will leave
Jotunheim [the home of the trolls in Old Norse mythology] tonight
The trolls are marching;
In the darkness glow
Their eyes like torches,
Their fits shuffle
Along the ground when they walk.
They puff and blow
A song of war
Of monotone sounds
Is answered by Thorr:
Like a thunder cloud
Like a hammerfall
Thorr arrives from Asgard [home of the Aeser, Old Norse gods]
...in his wrath
...in his rage
He slaughters trolls in contempt
Now you shall bleed, Thorr
Now you shall die, troll.
Blows you shall take, Thorr
Pain you will suffer, troll.
The gods will fall and Jotunheimen rule.
The trolls will turn to stone and
Odin's power will never die.
Thorr's hammer killed many
Trolls in the battle tonight
The boulders lay spread
The bodies in the forest
