Valen [English translation]

Come death,dear death;

solve all riddles for me;

give me key and wand

tie up all knots

Why in death,my friend,and there alone?

Why do you dive into the river of forgetfulness?

Why in darkness,my friend,and there alone?

do you seek the friendly warmth of the light?

Let me open the closed room,

let me carve the hidden runes,

let me throw my spear,

into the cold heart of the troll

Why in death,my friend,and there alone?

Why do you dive into the river of forgetfulness?

Why in darkness,my friend,and there alone?

do you seek the friendly warmth of the light?

Death was here first.

Forgetfulness always wins in the end.

Darkness gave birth to light.

What else do you want to know?

Death,dear death! Death, my death!

Forgetfulness has taken me.

Darkness has descended upon me forever.

What else can I know?

Come death,dear death;

solve all riddles for me;

give me key and wand,

unlock all hatches.

Death was here first.

Forgetfulness always wins in the end.

Darkness gave birth to light.

What else do you want to know?

Death,dear death! Death, my death!

Forgetfulness has taken me.

Darkness has descended upon me forever.

What else can I know?
