From 'Havenless' by Enslaved wrote:Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei såg stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint

.....

Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land.
Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi


Well, this is norwegian (or possibly danish) and I'm swedish. But I'll give it a shot.


Dei for ifra nord - They departed from the north
Mot ei anna tid - Towards another time
Bak låg brende ord - Back home layed burnt words
Framfor dei ei ny strid - In front of them a new battle

Dei såg stormar i det fjerne - They saw storms at the horizon
Men haldt fram og beint - ?
Inn mot jordas kjerne - In towards the core of the earth
Frå tidleg mot seint - From something towards something

.....

Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land.
The dead (?) grows upon the sea and shouts something towards land

Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi
They shout towards all ships, sailing slowly as they go by


The song is probably about Nagelfar, a ship filled with dead soldiers that sets sail at signs of the apocalypse to wage war on the gods of northern mythology.


Enslaved is a great band, that's a good translation.
For All Splitter Kind
