Qaqortoq [English translation]

How can the cold burn me so severe

that the heat seems like embers?

How can the wind torment me so hard

It whispers of my death

Despair burdens every step i take

I fumble only awkwardly

I give what little spark i still possess

to cruel sub-arctic night

In the light of dawn fire blazes

I see a barren, frozen land

I see and beg for my soul

I found Qaqortoqs ice and snow

I took farwell i said goodbye

I smile, i'm freezing to death

So still, so mighty so unyielding

The silence that I slowly drown within

A thick chain, a prison of ice crystals

When the night is over I am free

Lost in the frozen white sea

that no bearing has

My resting place shall also be my grave

Eternaly I remain

I merely follow our allfathers compass

and the paltry deal of fate

Reconciled with the heavy burden of my fate

Towards my afterlife

In the light of dawn fire blazes

I see a barren, frozen land

I see and beg for my soul

I found Qaqortoqs ice and snow

I took farwell i said goodbye

I smile, i'm freezing to death

Qaqortoq, you loom at the light of dawns

Your visage bestows me calm and comfort

Remotely I behold the warm houses

They bestow me delight in my tired heart

In the light of dawn fire blazes

I see a barren, frozen land

I see and beg for my soul

I found Qaqortoqs ice and snow

I took farwell i said goodbye

I smile, i'm freezing to death

In the light of dawn death burns

Like frozen blood the heavens red

It smiles but wants nothing good

My time is out, all has past

in moments the spirit is free

I give my final farewell

The powerful, cold avalanche rages

Unbending, like the fall of the wild spring flood

Reconciliation takes the place from fear and horror

Not lonely, not mournful, no longer cold
