Wardruna- Munin Lyrics

Description

(English below)
To ramnar eig dei er meg kjær
Ein for mitt minne, ein for min hug

To ramnar eig dei er meg kjær
Ein for mitt minne, ein for min hug
I kvar sin vind, frå meg
Flygande, i kvar sin veg
Dei kver meg songar
Når heim dei vender

Eg stundom fæler, at hugjen heim ei rekk
Enn meir eg ottast at minna mistar sin veg

Vegvill er hug, utan minne
Eit tre råtnar, utan rot
På dine vingar bér all den tid som runne, hev
Å minnefuggel, vær hos meg all mi tid
All mi tid

Minna er alltid nær
Visar veg, rådar meg
Minna er alltid nær
Røynslas råd, mistakets frelsar

Minne eg heiter, børa på medvitets rygg
Skaldens veg til ordas hóv
Treets rot, steinens riss
Tingets krins, vargens vaksemd

English:
I own two ravens
They are my dearest
One for my memory
One for my thought

I own two ravens
They are my dearest
One for my memory
One for my thought
In each wind, from me
flying their own way
They chant songs to me
when they come home

Sometimes I fear,
that Thought will not return home
but more I worry,
that Memory will lose his way

Lost is Thought
without memory
A tree rots
without roots
On their wings they carry
All the time that flows
Oh, memory-bird
Be with me for all my time
All my time

Memory is always near
Show the way, counsel me
Memory is always near
Experienced counsel, mistakes' savior

Memory I am called!
Burden on the back of consciousness
The poet's way to the word's hoof
The root of the tree and the crack of the stone
The crown of the thing and the vigilance of the wolf
