Naar Kulda Tar
Arc-turus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Naar vinteren tar bitter fart
Og steiner sprekker I frostklar natt
Ved svarte tjern under naken li
Da er villmarken vond aa ferdes I

Vi befarer store sletter
Der sneen ligger tykk
Det blaaser kaldt - Vi skal d?
Vi har s?rgelig nok forfalt

Fra still tjern
Till hortbetonte vidder
Farvel

[English translation:]

[When The Cold Takes]

When the winter takes a bitter speed
And stones crack in the frost-clear night
By black lakes under naked slope
Then is the wilderness hard to go through

We walk across vast planes
Where the snow lies thick
It blows cold - we will die
Sadly, we have fallen enough

From still lakes




To far-toned plateau
Farewell-

Overall Meaning

The song Naar Kulda Tar by Arc-turus paints a picture of the harshness and brutality of winter in nature, specifically in the vast, cold wilderness. The lyrics detail the struggles and dangers of journeying through this unforgiving terrain, with frozen lakes and rocky slopes posing obstacles that make it difficult to move. The verse "When the winter takes a bitter speed, and stones crack in the frost-clear night, by black lakes under naked slope, then is the wilderness hard to go through" illustrates the treacherous nature of the environment, where even the ground beneath one's feet can be unstable.


The chorus is a lament for the precariousness of life in such circumstances. Lines like "it blows cold - we will die" underscore the bleakness of the situation, where the threat of death constantly looms. The final lines, "from still lakes to far-toned plateau, farewell" suggest a journey that has come to an end, perhaps a journey through life that has been cut short by merciless winter conditions. Overall, the song is a reminder of the immense power of nature to both awe and destroy.
