    Lyrics:
    Eg songane søkte
    Eg songane sende
    då den djupaste brunni
    gav meg dråpar så ramme
    av Valfaders pant
    Alt veit eg, Odin
    kvar du auge løynde
    Kven skal synge meg
    i daudsvevna slynge meg
    når eg helvegen går
    og dei spora eg trår
    er kalde, så kalde
    Årle ell i dagars hell
    enn veit ravnen om eg fell
    Når du ved helgrindi står
    og når du laus deg må rive
    skal eg fylgje deg
    yver gjallarbrui
    med min song
    Du blir løyst frå banda som bind deg
    Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg
    Deyr fé
    Deyja frændr
    Deyr sjalfr it sama
    En orðstírr
    Deyr aldregi
    Hveim er sér góðan getr
    Deyr fé
    Deyja frændr
    Deyr sjalfr it sama
    Ek veit einn
    At aldrei deyr
    Dómr um dauðan hvern
    English Helvegen (Way to Hel) Lyrics:
    I sought the songs
    I sent the songs
    when the deepest well
    offered drops so mighty
    of Valfather’s pledge
    I know it all, Odin
    where you hid your eye
    Who will sing me
    in the death-sleep sling me
    when I walk the road to Hel
    and the tracks I tread
    are cold, so cold
    Early or in fading day
    still the raven knows if I fall
    When you stand by the gate of Hel
    and when you must tear loose
    follow you I shall
    across the bridge of Gjöll with my song
    You become free from the bonds that bind you
    You are free from the bonds that bound you

    I never leave comments - this may be my first one. On December 4th of 2023 I played this song for my step-father as he fought a painful battle with cancer. He was in my life for 45 years and was more of a mother to me than my own mother was. He had become nearly unresponsive and as I played this song I could tell that something was changing in him. At the point where the song hits a crescendo and the lyrics, translated are, "You become free from the bonds that bind you. You are free from the bonds that bound you," he took a deep breath, nearly sitting up, and made a sound of pain, his once closed eyes opened and fluttered closed. He layed back again and never regained consciousness. He passed away 14 hours later. Thank you, Einar, for gifting this song to all of us. I truly believe that this song helped my step-father transition across the bridge. I am so thankful to you so that we could give him this song.

    For me wardruna is a painkiller. I do not remember if I wrote something like this, but, I have a regular migraines. No pill can take pain away. Thus I am turning on wardruna. Your songs put me in some sort of trance in which it is easier for me to overcome pain and fall asleep for some hours. Thus the pain goes away. I have been listening Wardruna for a long period of my life. So whenever I am stressed or in bad mood or depressed I listen to your songs as well. It brings me memories of past, times when I could afford myself to be more carefree and when everything seemed easier. As well you songs help me when I need some support, some stoic energy your songs help me as well. And your songs are perfect for hiling and walking in the forests. Thank you Wardruna, thank you for everything yoou are doing.

      While your friend lives in your heart he will never be lost. Like the rest of us, he is an immortal soul who has experienced many lives here. His recent one was a torment. These have imparted valuable lessons he’ll take into his next incarnation. Such is the true learning process. Do not mourn him. Celebrate his journey to a new experience - for death is the most incredible journey we all face. It is a renewal. It is a rebirth. And with any birth, there is pain. May your own pain at your loss be brief. Sending you love and as much healing as I can muster.

    Say what you want about the TV show 'Vikings' (very mixed opinion myself), but the soundtrack was outstanding in large part due to Wardruna. My favorite scene of the entire series was the Ragnar's fleet setting sail to attack Paris with 'Helvegen' playing and Einar himself standing on the dock pounding the drum and singing as they depart. Mixed feelings about the series as a whole, but damn that scene was truly great!

The 2 scenes are intentionally similar with Helvegen playing during the 1st departure and Einar himself performing during the 2nd.

      I second that. I really love Kalandra's version of this, too. To me, Katrine is at par with Aurora, and Kalandra is completely underrated. And I am saying that as a metal head deep into folk metal and symphonic metal.

      @The1rust 2 года назад +9

      To me, the best version of Helvegen has to be the live performance with Aurora at the Bergenhus Fortress. Aurora really adds an extra extra layer of emotion and an interesting dynamic where Einar hits you like a hammer and she pierces you like a dagger especially at the climax. The set design is just so simplistic yet atmospheric too.
      Lyfjaberg is definitely a very, very close second.

      É exatamente isso... Eu acho incrível que não importa onde vc vá na internet, sempre tem comentários de brasileiros 😂. Estamos em todo lugar!

    I just listened to this version with the translation, and started crying for my dead son, lost far too soon, at age 27. I miss him, and have little hope I'll ever see him again. Beautiful music.
