Evig vandrar
Kvelertak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jeg kjører kjerra å krasher for Oden.
Da speller vi slurr i dalen.
Då skal vi jobbe lange dagen.
Da speller vi på helvetets skute.
Da skal vi stå der under og språke.
Det kjennes jo flaut langt under i sjelen.
Du kan kje stå i veien for skjebnen.
Veien e mitt nye hjem
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
For heile livet svinne hen
Ska aldri gå på jobb igjen
Og alle jævla bruer brenn
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
Du skal aldri mer få sjå
Sjå meg igjen!
Kommer in jeg bråka sloss
Og jeg behøgger mer til oss
Stakkarn' springer ner til meg og kaster dollar.
Så blir eg stille så Høldarn kommer!
Eg har herja blod ut av farmor.
Og spruta Süssigkeiten på dine hender.
ÆH! Det var faen på tia!
Og gitt deg harde hender!
OOOOOH JÆO!
Veien e mitt nye hjem
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
For heile livet svinne hen
Ska aldri gå på jobb igjen
Og alle jævla bruer brenn
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
Du skal aldri mer få sjå
Sjå meg igjen!
Sender de blakke til Glemmen.
Og de andre får buge for døden.
Og eg har krøset de krasets jobb.
Og pesset har eg over de andre skay.
Og all effekt står under haus.
Og alle veger får eg i kraus.
Eller har du det gjort nesten?
Og ruller tunner over hestar! JA!
Veien e mitt nye hjem
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
For heile livet svinne hen
Ska aldri gå på jobb igjen
Og alle jævla bruer brenn
Aldri gå på jobb igjen
Du skal aldri mer få sjå
Sjå meg igjen!
The lyrics to "Evig Vandrar" by Kvelertak depict a person who is dedicated to Oden, the god of war and death in Norse mythology. The lines "Jeg sørger for Oden" and "Jeg kjører kjerra å krasher for Oden" suggest that the singer is willing to fight and even die for Oden. The lyrics also mention playing music ("Da speller vi slurr i dalen") and working hard ("Då skal vi jobbe lange dagen"), which fits with the Viking lifestyle of hard work and song.
The song then shifts to a different theme, with the lines "Veien e mitt nye hjem" ("The road is my new home") and "Aldri gå på jobb igjen" ("Never go to work again"). This suggests the singer has left behind a more conventional life in favor of a nomadic, adventurous lifestyle. The lyrics also suggest a violent side to this new lifestyle, with lines such as "Stakkarn' springer ner til meg og kaster dollar" ("Someone runs towards me and throws dollars") and "Eg har herja blod ut av farmor og spruta Süssigkeiten på dine hender" ("I've wreaked havoc and splattered candy on your hands").
Overall, "Evig Vandrar" combines traditional Viking themes with a sense of rebellion and adventure that fits with the heavy metal genre.

I can give a translation a try, but it's a tricky one. Here goes:
I had forgotten water
Walking through spreading sand
Walking out into heating sun
I can see there are tracks
The devil goes to hell
I wander without food
I have struggled
My eyes have seen
Master what you can walk
Doomed to wander forever
And never come home
But it's been so many years
He doesn't have a lengthy home
He will always be known as
Eternal wanderer
He who found it just saw
When the lightning struck the ground
He is so fucking angry
And despaired now
He will never find rest now
Only looking forward to Doomsday
He is dragging old bones
He who found it just saw
With his backpack he must walk
He will always be known as
Eternal wanderer
