Kong Hydnes Haug Lyrics
Yst i ran mektige Norafjorn, frao gudn Nor si ti.
Yst i Lomeldi, heimsta Slind vart 'a pao Hydneshaugen
i ran sista helfti ao ra fjera aorhondra lakt ain haug før ain windir.
Ai mannalaonge kjista ao stain so alder breste.
I kjistao ve hass høgre sia ait laongsverd laog,
ai spenna ao bråns kappao hass hildt,
Ve fotendn to lairka me bisk.
Utafø kjistao ve venstre gavlvaiggj, to spjut laog klar, håve vendt mot vest.
Alt ti feri... Men i førra aorhondra ottao børja,
uvitande menn me hoga fø jor,
rødde vekk fjortan aorhondra sjilefri i trihondra børe me stain.
Uvitande dai va om ottao, gudadn sitt raseri skapte.
Dan ivigvarande ottao so framleis herska haimst i Slind dan dag i dag.
Dar e ai bysle stemning, ait mørke follt ao kjainsle,
guda so kan ta frao reg da ain traingje meste, ait sinnelag.
Framleis ha maonge otta før å ferdast mødlo
Saoknardalr å Laikvangir itte kvelda fitabil.

ehm, that is kinda wrong and pointless. The song is about the grave of an ancient king. which gets raided by grave robbers or archeologists, disturbing the kings eternal rest. It's realy hard to translate in details, but thats basicly it.
@megacell Your translation is correct. It's in my mother tounge, but directly transcribed from Sogna dialect (not in either of the official written languages). The clearing of the burial mound is describes as an unwittingly done act, so it might have been cleared by farmers for grassing pastures, or to build a homestead. Many of the Mounds are overgrown and blends into the landscape. Accidents occur. No mention of the date, so might be way back. If it was in the 80ies/90ies it would be (at least) local news and the state would have intervened. When I googled it all...

It's said that the spesific place (names of the surrounding areas are mentioned) has an eerie atmosphere that still lingers over the disturbed gravesite, and that folks avoid it.
i don't know what this translate into at all. but i really feel this song and it seems to me like a song of revenge almost, where he goes on a mission to get revenge while fighting the extremes of weather.. and in seekeing revenge finds death.
