Uppsala 가사

Guided by the light of the full moon Three burial mounds come into view The holy temple where the heathens meet Lies just beyond where the deities sleep Every nine years over nine days lavish the gods with offering and praise Every nine years over nine days seventy-two male creatures bled and hanged The vernal equinox at Old Uppsala Christians are welcome but refuse to come They shun the disciples They shun their idols They shun the dogs, horses annd human corpses hung in the sacred grove But what distresses them most is through ritual all those Pagan can be forgiven While all those Christian will be forsaken Every nine years over nine days lavish the gods with offering and praise Every nine years over nine days seventy-two male creatures bled and hanged Chants unseemly Incantations manifold Only the profane believe they should remain untold
