lyrics

Chemarea ce rămâne
De-atâtea ori, în şoaptă sau gând
Oriunde-am fost şi-unde voi ajunge
Septentrion, spre nord avânt.

Nord! Nord! Nord! Septentrion!

Te cheamă fără să ştii
Te-atrage făr’ să vrei să vii
E frig rămas în suflet ecou
Septentrion.

Acolo-s nopţi lungi cât săptămâna
Sau soare-n cer în miez de noapte
Şi aurorele ce-astupă luna
Acolo-n nord, totul se poate.

E ca un basm trăit aievea
De care fug dar tot m-ajunge
În el m-afund, cu trup şi suflet
Septentrion – am nord în sânge.

Iar anii trec şi eu mă vântur
Prin lume, peste mări şi zări
Steaua Polară-mi călăuză –
Drumul spre casă din depărtări.

Acolo-am fost şi mă voi întoarce
Şi din furtuni de gheaţă-ţi voi şopti
În ochii-mi frig şi-n suflet jăratec
Cu mine, Nord, mereu vei fi.

E frig rămas în suflet ecou,
E frig rămas în suflet ecou,
E frig rămas în suflet ecou,
E Nord.

English translation

The call that always lingers
As many times, in whisper or thought
The paths I’ve roamed or will ever harry
Septentrion, north-bound, sails taut.

North! North! North! Septentrion!

It calls you, over your ken
It draws you, over your own aim
’Tis nip within, its echo lives on
Septentrion.

The nights are yon long as yet a fortnight
The sun unfolds amidst the night’s sky.
And the aurorae bright that dim the moon’s might
Up in the north, everything does nigh.

A fairytale become existent
I run away yet in its swift flood
I sink along, in soul and body
Septentrion – ’tis north, my lifeblood.

As years pass by, I keep cavorting
’Mongst world’s ways, over bens and moors
The polar star, it gives me guidance –
My homeward journey from distant shores.

My dwelling past and my future’s harbour
And from yon icy blizzards hear my sigh
My eye hosts nip, my heart houses ember
At heart you, North, will ay stay nigh.

’Tis nip within, its echo lives on,
’Tis nip within, its echo lives on,
’Tis nip within, its echo lives on,
’Tis North.

A masterpiece of Folk Metal. You know how I know? When I get goosebumps after listening to a album. Every song is perfection, beautifully crafted. Haunting vocals and violin, blazing guitar solos - it's all here. 10/10! SwordnBoard
