Original lyrics and English translation:
Lyfjaberg
Sal din hug og lat den ri og renna
Med blinde augo vil du vegen finna
Djupt du dreg anden inn – let tankar svinna
Langsamt slepp anden fri – i vinden rida
Spinn spindel – tvinn i tankar, kverv i syn
Seidsongen, lint den lokkar hug or ham
Fram gjøno døri, gjøno kongro-sløri
Fram, ber med bare føt, den tunge børi
Ut in ditt indre ventar bratt ein sti
Høgt der på Lyvjarnut stend møyar ni
Ved fyrste stad der stiar krossar, biar du
legg frå deg kleda, alt du eige med
Der du er på veg, er dei til ingen nytte
Børa letnar, framom ventar tyngre veg
Ved andre stad der stiar krossar, biar du
legg frå deg tida, tunge tankar med
Der du er på veg, er dei til ingen nytte
Børa letnar, framom ventar tyngre veg
Ved tridje stad der stiar krossar, biar du
Legg frå deg reidsle, legg di maske ned
Der du er på veg, er dei til ingen nytte
Børa letnar, framom kjem dei tyngste steg
Nakjen der på nuten, kjenner berget deg
Nordre slær si ørnevengje, vinden dreg
Kring deg fær kvendeskuggar dansande
Ramme runar, mæl og manar, yve deg
Sott og sår
or marg og bein
or kjøt og blod
or hold og skinn
i vær og vind
ut du svinn
eg manar deg inn i berget blå
der korkje sol ell måne skin deg på
eg maner til skogen der ingen bur
og til den sjø som ingen ror
djupt under jordfast stein
til ingens mein
gjønom elva renna
havet venda
I vær og vind
ut du svinn
Korkje sol ell måne
skin deg på
Synk i den sjø som
ingen ror
I elva renna,
i havet venda
Lyvjaberg hev alltid stende
til trøyst for sjuk og såra
Kvar og ein som berget kliv
Lækjast for livslang sott
Legg den att på Lyvjaberget
Hødgi der åar alle,
buktar støtt seg nord og nedan
Bergar den som berget maktar
Healing-mountain
Saddle your soul and let it ride
With blind eyes, you’ll surely find the way
Draw your breath in – let your thoughts fly
Let it out slowly – on winds you’ll bide
The spindle spins, the thoughts entwine revolving sight
The enchantment song lures the soul from its shape
Out through the door, through the cobweb-veil
Out borne on bare feet, a heavy burden
Out in your innermost, a steep trail ahead
High upon Healing-Peak, nine maidens await
At the first stop where paths cross, you pause
Leave clothes behind and all you own
Where you are heading, they’ll be of no use
The burden lightens, but heavy is the trail ahead
At the second stop where paths cross, you pause
Leave time behind, and weighty thoughts
Where you are headed, they’ll be of no use
The burden lightens, but heavy is the trail ahead
At the third stop where paths cross, you pause
Leave fears behind, let fall all masks
Where you are headed, they’ll be of no use
The burden lightens, but heavy is the trail ahead
Naked at the top, the mountain knows you
North waves an eagle-wing, the wind it draws
The shadow-women dance about you
They sing for you, chanting powerful runes
Wounds and sickness
Of marrow and blood
Of meat and bone
Of flesh and skin
into weather and wind
you fade
I summon you into the mountain blue
Where neither sun nor moonshine can reach you
I summon you into the forest where no one dwells
and out to the sea where no man rows
Deep beneath an earthbound stone
out of harm’s way
Run through the rivers
and roll with the ocean tides
Into weather and wind you fade
Neither sun nor moonshine can reach you
Sink in the sea where no man rows
Run through the rivers
and roll with the ocean tides
Healing-mountain stands for eternity
It comforts the sick and the sore
Each and every one who assails that rock
Will find their lifelong ailment cured
Leave it behind on Healing-Peak
Where the rivers and streams
dance northwards and down
That mountain mends all those who climb

Dear wardruna, every song you made is a piece of art.

US born but have Scandinavian, Celt, Scottish, Slavic roots. The first time I heard this song, it lit a fire within my soul. I love it.

I’ve recently lost many family members in a short amount of time. There were times the grief threatened to break me. Then I stopped and listened to your music and remembered, no, my loved ones are never gone, maybe in the physical sense but they have simply taken on a different, eternal form. Their spirits are always around me and are waiting for me to come home one day. Thank you for your healing music and for helping me remember such an important truth. ❤

My mom: do you even understand a word of what these songs say? Me an intellectual: No,but I can feel it.

F**king brillinat! I'm agnostic, but the old Greek and Norse gods has a special place in my heart. So proud to be a true Norse!!!

This song has helped me cope with some really hard times recently, the mountain is the representation of the mental uphill struggle of accepting my new reality, and when I get at the top, then I can start getting over it. Lyfjaberg exist inside all of us, it's a healing mountain that we all have or must climb in life.

This guy: breathes in the country air, breathes out the countries ancient spirit.

It's crazy how a song with words you cant even understand touches something within.
-
This is a master piece. It helps to survive and overcome hard days. Thank You Wardruna.

I found this song shortly after losing my daughter right after she was born. Tomorrow she would've been 2 and I'm currently pregnant with my rainbow baby. This song brings me such a deep peace and calm. It truly was a hard time for me and it still is. Thank you Einar for providing such healing and meaningful music. You truly are a gift from the Gods.
-
this song is helping me through a really bad phase. my husband passed away, he was captain of a ship and fanatical about viking culture. so much so that we cremated his body and delivered it to the sea.
-
Is it just me, or was anyone else truly touched by this creation ? Again.
-
I watch this video every night before bed. It’s soothes my soul and allows me to sleep! Too much anger and stress from the day……
-
In the Minnesota winter I would go for long runs in the snow while listening to this. Was very good for me.
