Roman Land
Falkenbach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mannen, t'leve ma nej evig duur....
Herjan vear et bluden naart.
Dounear daveirjent ab Roudenbaard.
There lurks evil round each bend of the road:
A long life you must not look to have,
so great are the hatreds grown.
For manalis en Velandur !!!
Mannen, t'leve ma nej evig duur....
Herjan vear et bluden naart.
Dounear daveirjent ab Roudenbaard.
Among kinsmen remain free from fault and reproach:
Be slow to wrath though they wrong you much,
in death this will do you good.
To battle is better than to be burned in the hall,
although it gleams with gold
Foraan

Vi Naar

For manalis en Velandur !!!
Mannen, t'leve ma nej evig duur....
Herjan vear et bluden naart.
Dounear daveirjent ab Roudenbaard.
