Arc-turus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Famler hen, til nattvart himmel
Vandring hjem, til nattsvart himmel
Vandring hjem I eismal
Under skumringens tidligste stjerne
Tusm?rket dypner I det fjerne
do nordavind, jeg speider fjern og n?are
Tilsammen - vi to. over beksvart hav
Enn om do aldri hit vil komme
Jeg tilbyi deg mitt kj?lnende blod
Evig vil min sjel skue mot nord
Stundom mitt sinn skal reise
Til tid tar slutt paa jord
Hver en j?vel vill
Som sank I vann f?are tid var til...
Jeg drev forlatt og vandret vill
Ennu har do ikke h?rt mitt hill
I tomme natten skimjet jeg
Et glimt av land, en evig ild
[English translation:]
[You Notherwind]
A pale hour of the day
Grope away, to the night-black sky
Wandering home, to the night-black sky
Wandering home alone
Under evening's earliest star
Twilight sinks in the distance
You northern wind, I'm looking far and near
Will you come again from the wasteland where there is no one?
Together - we two over black pitch sea
Even if you'll never come here
I can give you my chilling blood
Forever will my soul look at the north
Often my soul shall journey
Until time ends on earth
As wild as a devil
That sank in the water before time was
I walked alone and wandered in the wilderness
Still you didn't hear my call
In the empty night I can see
A glare in the land, an eternal fire
The lyrics of Arc-turus's song "Du Nordavind" are a poetic reflection of the deep yearning for the unforgiving Northern winds of the Arctic. The lyrics speak of the singer's solitary wandering in the black-purple twilight, under the evening's earliest star, as he makes his way home. The journey is one of immense solitude, but also filled with the intense desire to feel the unrelenting North Wind. The singer is continuously searching for that all-consuming power of the North Wind, which would render everything else irrelevant.
The lyricist describes the Northern wind as powerful enough to envelop everything in itself, and it brings with it a sense of awe and terror. The singer implores the wind to return to him from the wasteland where no one resides, even though they are separated by the black pitch sea. There is a sense of longing for the unattainable, as the singer states that even if the North Wind never comes, he will always offer his chilling blood to it.
The song Du Nordavind is a reflection on the unyielding Northern winds and the immense desire to feel their might. It speaks of an intense yearning for the unattainable, and the heart-wrenching yet strangely beautiful solitude of this pursuit. It portrays the lyrical intent in a way that leaves the listener captivated and longing for something they may never have.
