Hun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Langveysfra blifver hun iagttagen
Øine, mange Graablick
Medens Maanen tavst glider

[Pigen:]
"Eg merkje kalde Øyne
Kva er eg vár - maa være snar
Før Trolldomskraft med Makt meg tar"

Øine holder hende endnu
Seer fra nysgierrig Fjærnhed

Norsk Nat iiser
Naar Lyd lig hylende Varg sætter
Torden ruller
(Angsten blusser)

Verden er Sneen
- stille
Alleene hun aander
Hierteslag banker
Blodet iisner i Aarene

[De Underjordiske:]
"Sorrigens Kilde hviler
Paa de torneklædte Træer
Hun er saa vacker een Dyd
Hendes Drøm Solspell indvier"

Paa disse hvide Kinder
Paa denne smiilforladte Mund




Taarerne i Elver strømmer
Naar Verden er i Blund

Overall Meaning

The opening lines to Hun's song iii set a dark and haunting atmosphere, with the imagery of a girl being watched by many grey eyes in the silence of the moon gliding by. The girl in question seems to feel the weight of these cold eyes on her and recognizes the danger that lurks around her, for fear that she will fall under the spell of witchcraft. The chorus of the song leads into the perspective of the underground beings, who describe the girl as a source of sorrow resting on thorn-clad trees, yet beautiful and dedicated to her dream of being initiated into the magic of sunlight.


The lyrics overall contain themes of loneliness, fear, and a desire to escape from the dangers of dark magic. The use of specific words such as "iiser" (ice) and "blodet iisner i Aarene" (blood freezing in veins) helps to illustrate how the girl's fear is taking over her body and turning everything around her into a frozen wasteland. In contrast, the underground beings evoke the idea of a beautiful dream tied to sunlight, perhaps suggesting that despite the dangers around them, hope for something brighter still exists.
