Leave’s Eyes - Sorhleod Leave’s Eyes - Sorhleod |
| Hwilum ylfete song
Dyde ic me to gomene
Nu thu miht gehyran
Tha sorhleod
Daeges ond nihtes
Calde gethrungen
Waeron mine fet
Forste gebunden
Hrimcealde sae
Hreo haeglfare
Haelethum on andan
Ic to sothe wat thaet bith
Haelethum on andan
Ic to sothe wat thaet bith
Eall thaet therinne is
Ceare sarra sorga
Ic eom bitter in breosthord
mid sorgum gedrefted
Marian leofa modes milde eallgylden
Is me nu lifes hyht thaet ic haelan mag
English translation:
Sometimes the song of a swan
I had as my entertainment
Now you might hear
This song of sorrow
For days and nights
Piercing cold weather
My feet were
Frost bound
Ice-cold sea
Fierce hailstorms
To the terror of men
I know too truly what that is
All that there is inside
Sorrow, grievious sorrows
I am bitter in my heart
Drenched in sorrow |
