LYRICS:
Heim Til Yggdrasil
(Music: I. Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle / Translation: E. Selvik)
I eit åndsforlatt land
Gjallar horn på ny
ljomar mot dei alle
som trur dei sanninga eig,
som fører blinde i vilse.
Deg sjølv gjeven deg sjølv
Lat oss fara heim,
under lauvets ly
Samlas heime på ny,
Hugse netter ni
All tid - me har vandra
under vinger - av vilse
All tid - me har venta
på at vinteren - slepp grepet
Lat oss fara heim,
under lauvets ly
Samlast heime på ny,
Hugse netter ni
ORIGINAL LYRICS (ENGLISH):
Return to Yggdrasill
(Music: I. Peersen / Lyrics: K. Grutle)
A new sound heard throughout the land
From which the spirits had left ages ago
Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers
A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan
outer worlds
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One
Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses
Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting
It is all for the taking, the world for their making
We will gather again
Under the leaves
We will gather again
In honour of the nine nights
For ages we have wandered
Under the wings of deception
Too long have we been waiting
For the long winter to end
We will gather again
To praise the courage
We will gather again
To watch the harvest

I don't have much life left in me and Einar Selvik has been an appreciated experience. Thank you.

[@Luxelock]

The gods surely work through Einar. Whether he wants to believe it or not. Everything he is in is amazing.

Ironic, Grutle is missing here.

[@karenlong5146]

I have no idea, the meaning of the words to this song, but the beauty of it comforts me when I am troubled. Many thanks, Ivar, Einar and band!

[@williamgiersdorf577]

in a movie, if they were playing this song, what kind of scene would it be?

[@Hvorgandr]

I gotta admit, this song is quite fine. Just take Einar in the band already and we'll see what happens next. Studio version of this had the vocals from Grutle too.

The nord gods...

[@bishop1412]

Sun cames out right as I started the video... Started raining again 10 seconds after it ended... goosebumps

[@williamgiersdorf577]

this actually sounds better than their album version...

[@BigD63]

Fantastic. Words can not express the emotion I feel with this song. Einar is at a higher level of consciousness.

[@1980tessan]

In my toughest period in my life Einars music saved my life ❤. I listened to Wardruna and this and got a new strength in my life 😊. Thank you Einar with friends for your music ❤

[@rustedshut]

This is one of my favorite Enslaved songs. To hear Einar’s version is like a dream come true.

[@goygohar]

Whenever you question the meaning of life, turn on Ivar's and Einar's holy songs.

[@gst013]

What a beautiful version of an amazing song...both Einar and Ivar are god-tier musicians 💕

[@wilddoguk]

Ivar and Einar sing with the story of the eldar. They bring the stories of old to the now. I can't always know what they're singing, but I feel it. From the north of England.....Skal!

[@NinaNiterose86]

Songs like this make me feel proud of my origin again....and a little less alone. <3

[@asrais186]

I dont understand the language now, but it sounds so beautiful to me, that i started to repeat the words over and over again, it fills me with energy and somehow i feel happy inside. Tears start to come and i "zoom out" of my position. I cant really describe this pleasure im getting from the language and this music. Im so thankful and respectful for the artists.

[@mz.6109]

May the Gods see all the beauty and Life you bring to everything you touch. From a fellow Norwegian, Respect and Love to you my brothers

[@eminesaglam9065]

I'm here again so many songs after I'm taking my dose
