Jaktens Tid Lyrics

... Bygden står stilla, en stjärklar natt ...
... En eld fjärran skådas, ty de närmar sig ...

Fram rider trollens kung
med vargbroder ut på jakt
Allt levade flyr, fä och frände
blodet skall dranka denna ensliga trakt

Utav mörket i sin evika sal,
han ger sig ut, en törst att släcka
Gär skyndas de fram på krokiga ben,
Flera liv att tas, hundra ben att knäcka

Trollherrens sällskap river sig fram,
genom dyster skog och fruset fjäll
De dräper vad de ser och finner allt gömt,
huvudens snart pryder deras heliga häll

Så står trackten dyster och mörk,
solen stiger inget liv att skåda
Underjorden firas en lyckad jakt,
sedan igen sekler tystnad råda ...

(ve dig människa du inkärktar här,
snart trollen dig till hällen bär ...)

If memory serves, it is about when the Troll King goes out to hunt.

aprroximate title translation: the time of the hunt Jaktens meaning hunt (possesive) and tid meaning time

Does this thing let me insert line breaks all over the place?

Excellent. In that case:

"... The village is quiet, a starlit night ... ... A distant fire is seen, for they are drawing near ...

The king of trolls rides forth To hunt with his wolven brother Everything living flees, friend and foe Blood will soak these secluded grounds

From the darkness in his eternal halls He goes out with a thirst to quench They are hurried forth on crooked legs Many lives to take, a hundred bones to break

The party of the trollmaster tear their way through gloomy forests and frozen mountains They slay what they see and find everything hidden Heads will soon adorn their holy rock (hm)

The area is gloomy and dark The sun rises, there is no life left Below ground they celebrate a successful hunt Once again silence reigns for centuries

(Woe betide you, human, you are trespassing The trolls will soon drag you to the rock ...)"

It could also mean "hearth", instead of "rock", but I dunno.

what do they say in the beginning of the song?

The first two lines are not singed (not in the beggining, that is sure), :P... is only a great example of Yoik, made, I guess, by Järvelä, the singer of Korpiklaani, :D
