Wardruna-Kauna.

WARDRUNA- Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga [LP 2009]

Kauna riv i nattevind
kovnar ei av anden din.
Isen smeltar av ditt ljos
Kauna røyner bleike spor.
Kauna siv i løyndom inn
lysar opp i auge skin.
Elden rensar hugen min
Kaun, logen brenn!

Sure is a great album. Kauna is a rune in the elder futhark. It represents fire, or a "torch". it can mean other related things aswell. It looks like a "<". This is the text beeing sung in Norwegian: Kauna riv i nattevind kovnar ei av anden din. Isen smeltar av ditt ljos Kauna røyner bleike spor. Kauna siv i løyndom inn lysar opp i auge skin. Elden rensar hugen min Kaun, logen brenn! Will need to look into it abit more before trying to translate to english.. Word by word will not do.

[Theokondak]

Anyone is able to translate what Gaahl is declaiming here?

[godionysus]

we need a norwegian to do this,hope the lyrics isnt in some ancient dialect ;]

[Einherjarnet]

This is a translation into english. Beware that the text is open to interpretation, so I have tried to translate by finding the most fitting words and not the meaning itself. I have not translated the name of the rune which is kaun. But I think its clear that we talk about fire here.

Kauna flickers in the windy night

does not choke of your breath

Ice melts of its light

kauna leaves a pale trail

kauna slips inn secretly

lights up your vision

the fire refines your spirit

kaun, the torch burns!

TRANSLATION

Kauna tears the nightwind

withers not in your breath.

The ice melts from your light

Kauna shows faint tracks.

Kauna enters secretly

lights up the eyes.

The fire cleanses my mind

Kaun, the - burns!

[Pakanahymni]

Kauna is grudge in finnish.
