"Only we few remember it now" lyrics
Baðað ljósi magnast myrkur.
Undir eilífðar sól
Og við sverðs míns egg
Loks af friður hlýst.
Er sól loks til viðar leggst, við hinsta andardrátt,
Land gunnfána og beina
Engin stjarna skín, lúðragjall, né heiður
Sigur í svefni hlýst.
Við örfáir, minnumst þessa nú
Undir eilífðar sól
Og við sverðs míns egg
Loks af friður hlýst.
Er sól loks til viðar leggst, við hinsta andardrátt,
Land gunnfána og beina
Engin stjarna skín, lúðragjall, né heiður
Sigur í svefni hlýst.
Við örfáir, minnumst þessa nú
"Only we few remember it now" official English translation
Showered in light, darkness rises.
Under the endless sun,
And by the edge of my blade,
At last peace descends.
There will be no stars, nor fanfares, nor honor.
Victory shall be sleep.
When the sun finally sets, and final breaths are drawn,
The land, of bones and banners.
Only we few, remember it now.
Under the endless sun,
And by the edge of my blade,
At last peace descends.
There will be no stars, nor fanfares, nor honor.
Victory shall be sleep.
When the sun finally sets, and final breaths are drawn,
The land, of bones and banners.
Only we few, remember it now.
