|
Towards the rapids |
|
Down the Dnepr did we glide |
|
To cross Esuppi was a wild water ride |
|
And past Holmfors and Geladri did we steer |
|
Her voice like thousand demons |
|
Ringing in our ear |
|
Aifur now before us lies |
|
And we stare with open eyes |
|
Upon the rapid waters racing down |
|
She is dangerous and strong |
|
Slow the ship as we go on |
|
And the currents pull |
|
The dragon down oh down |
|
Aifur the wild |
|
Raging waters over rocks |
|
Sharp as a sword for attack |
|
Aifur the wild |
|
May Thor guide the ship |
|
Past your demons so black |
|
Violent forever more |
|
I stand amidst the boiling waters |
|
Towering high |
|
The rocks are sharp |
|
And slippery watch out or die |
|
Against the currents |
|
40 Viking warriors fight |
|
For many hours now |
|
Until the break of night |
|
Watch your feet never slip |
|
Hold the boat don't lose the grip |
|
All the power worn the strength is gone |
|
Just one more hour and we're through |
|
Aifur now we've challenged you |
|
Come on brothers tug the dragon on |
