"Elias' sang"

Post by Sindre Nemnai »



(ignore the stupid footage)

Norse lyrics
Gi mig de rene og ranke, de faste og sterke menn,
de som har tolmod og vilje og aldri i livet går hen
og selger min store tanke, men kjemper til døden for den.

Gi mig de kolde og kloke, men kjenner min virkelighet.
Bedre enn mange som sier de tror, trenger jeg noen som vet.
Intet er mer som skrift i sand enn løfter om kjærlighet.

Gi mig de bitre og steile, som ikke har frykt i sitt blikk.
Gi mig de gudløse stolte, som ikke har trang til mystikk,
men dristig vil skabe en himmel her efter sin egen skikk.

Gi mig de brendende hjerter, som aldri gir tapt for tvil,
som aldri kan kues av mismot og trues av sorger til hvil,
men møter hver seier, hvert nederlag med det samme usårlige smil.

Ja, gi mig de beste blandt dere, og jeg skal gi dere alt.
Ingen kan vite før seiren er min hvor meget det virkelig gjaldt.
Kan hende det gjelder å redde vår jord. De beste blandt dere er kalt.
In translation
Give me the pure and the upright ones, the anchored and strong men,
those who have the patience and the will to never in their lives go away
to sell my great thought, but who will to their deaths fight for it!

Give me the cold and the wise ones, those who know my reality.
Better than many who say they believe, I need someone who knows.
Nothing is more than scribbles in sand than promises of love.

Give me the bitter and sheer ones, those without fear in their gazes.
Give me the godless and proud, those who need no mystery,
but who boldly wish to create a heaven here after their own ways.

Give me the burning hearts, those who never get lost in doubt,
those who can't be broken by discouragement and can't be threatened by their sorrows to rest,
but who meet each victory and each defeat by the same invulnerable smile.

Yes! Give me the best among you and I will give you all.
No one can know before the victory is mine how much it really was depended on.
Perhaps, it is to save our world. The best among you are called!
