Maanen skal være mine øine den skinnende stierne mine ben og her skal jeg vandre til evig tid
Djevel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vilde elver drukner salmesang
Norges rene luft og befriende pust
Vinden blaaser hardt der hedning staar og kristenmann falder
Voldsomme fossefall og sildrende bekker
Ah hvor hiertet banker Hammerslag
Ravnen paa himmelen vargen paa jorden
De sorte bjerg vogter i
Natten og kaster maanens blege lys
Her kan jeg hvile
Skugge og regn spiller toner for dunkle skritt
Og vakre mareritt her skal jeg drømme
Snøen som falder skal i
Mitg ligge for evig og alltid
Vannet som sildrer skal for alltid i mig brøle
Maanen skal være mine øine den
Skinnende stierne mine ben
Og her skal jeg vandre
Til evig tid (efter kristi død)
These lyrics are from the song "Maanen skal være mine øine den skinnende stierne mine ben og her skal jeg vandre til evig tid" by Djevel. The lyrics beautifully describe the natural landscapes of Norway and evoke a sense of freedom and awe in the presence of nature.
The first stanza talks about snow-covered mountains capturing the sunlight, while wild rivers drown out the sound of hymns. The pure air of Norway and its refreshing breath are mentioned. It also highlights the contrast between the stubborn heathen and the falling Christian.
The second stanza paints a picture of powerful waterfalls and murmuring brooks. The heart pounds eagerly like a hammer blow, and the raven in the sky and the wolf on the ground meet in a circle of the forest's power.
The third stanza mentions how the black mountains guard the night and reflect the pale light of the moon. Here, the singer finds solace and rest, as shadows and rain play tunes for mysterious footsteps.
The last stanza reveals that the singer will dream beautiful nightmares and be forever embraced in the falling snow. The echoing water will forever roar within them.
Overall, these lyrics showcase Djevel's admiration for the natural beauty of Norway and the spiritual connection one can find in its wilderness.
