Da jag rest mitt tryne mot den eviga skyn.
Jag hörde ett läte jag aldrig glömma.
En här sa mäktig vid skogens bryn.
Fa denna syn ens kunnat drömma.
Jag tog mitt spjut jag lyfte mitt horn.
Fran hornets läppar en mäktig ton.
Hären lystrade marscherade fram.
De gav sig mitt liv, bergets stamm.
En gava av urbergets ande.
En pakt som alla glömt.
Nu tagas de fram pa knotiga ben,
Fram, fram, fram.
Blodet nu rinna i floder.
Över mark och flod.
Ett svek nu skymtats av vise.
Fa öron lyssna da.
En gava av urbergets ande.
En pakt som alla glömt.
Nu skymtas fjärran länder.
Fram, fram, fram.
I ar de vandrat, krigets väg.
Blod ur väst och guld fran öst.
Da en tjärn som var manens lek.
Blev segerns slut och ett digert svek.
Hon vadat där i börjans gyttja.
Slitit sitt har med ormars gift.
Sugit själar och mannamod.
Det varit hennes avgrund i tusen ar.
En gava av urbergets ande.
En pakt som alla glömt.
Nu tagas de fram pa knotiga ben.
Fram, fram, fram.
Fram, fram, fram.
Blodet nu rinna i flöder.
Över mark och flod.
Ett svek nu skymtats av vise.
Fa öron lyssna da.
En gava av urbergets ande.
En pakt som alla glömt.
Nu skymtas fjärran länder.
Fram, fram, fram.
Hon vadat där i börjans gyttja.
Slitit sitt har med ormars gift.
Sugit själar och mannamod.
Det varit hennes avgrund i tusen ar.
En gava av urbergets ande.
En pakt som alla glömt.
Nu tagas de fram pa knotiga ben.
Fram, fram, fram.
Fram, fram, fram.
Nu skymtas fjärran länder.
Fram, fram, fram.
[English translation:]
A Mighty Horde
When I raised my snout towards the eternal sky
I heard a sound I can never forget
A mighty horde at the edge of the forest
Few could even dream this sight
I took my spear, I lifted my horn
From the lips of the horn came a mighty call
The horde listnened, marching forward
They gave me their lives, the tribe of the mountain
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now they are dragged forth on gnarled legs
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Blod runs like a river
Over the land and the streams
A betrayal now sensed by the wise ones
Few ears listened then
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now distant lands are closer
Forward! Forward! Forward!
For years they have wandered
The path of war
Blood from the west and gold from the east
Then a bog where the moon played
Became the end of victory and a bitter betrayal
She waded in the mud of ancient times
Torn her hair with snake venom
Drained souls and the courage of armies
It has been her abyss for a thousand years
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now they are dragged forth on gnarled legs
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Blod runs like a river
Over the land and the streams
A betrayal now sensed by the wise ones
Few ears listened then
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now distant lands are closer
Forward! Forward! Forward!
The lyrics EN MÄKTIG HÄR of FINNTROLL is also present in the album Ur jordens djup (2007)
Finntroll è una band finlandese di extreme metal e folk metal proveniente da Helsinki. Il loro stile musicale fonde elementi di black metal, death metal e folk metal con un tipo di musica popolare finlandese chiamato humppa. I testi di Finntroll sono principalmente in svedese, con l'eccezione della canzone "Madon Laulu" presente nell'album "Visor Om Slutet". Il primo cantante Katla ha scelto lo svedese rispetto al finlandese perché faceva parte di una minoranza di madrelingua svedese in Finlandia e il suono della lingua sembrava più adatto all'immagine "trollesca" del gruppo. Nonostante diversi cambi di vocalist, questa tradizione è continuata fino ad oggi. Finntroll è considerata una delle band folk metal più influenti, con un sound unico che fonde aggressività musicale con melodie tradizionali finlandesi. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Jaktens Tid", "Blodsvept" e "Trollhammaren".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
