Sur, semeÈማ, like a silent market, old gate of the upper country
With smooth wing, clone of steel, a hawk crosses the sky In the air.
From above he watches over the boundless, unbroken human horizons
in stormy clouds or sun, and his eyes see hidden secrets.
How many years have passed and how many more will flow over the lands of magic and dreams
Today the earth is green sprinkled with blood, stained by our good people, they killed for the country.
We see in the air, winged brother, take my memory away
May I never die'
By those who knew me, in their hearts I would forget
I will be, and I will fly with you.
Autumn is colder now, the sunsets are longer and sadder
as chimneys of smoke rise, through the valleys trees fall under the bards - sharp
You can feel the cold of the coming winter when the forest seems dead and frozen
A bird is in the air, or maybe it's me, guarded under the clouds, by the clouds worn.
We see in the air, winged brother, take my memory away
May I never die'
By those who knew me, in their hearts I would forget
I will be, and I will fly with you.
Hawk in the Skies
Hoary and lofty, like silent omen, ancient shield of the Northern Stead
Sly-quiet wing, steel-lusty neb, a hawk in the skies scours the depths
From above it watches the endless expanse, by men unattained lair of Nanna
Abiding in cloud, be it sunshine or storm, its eyes transfix hidden arcana
Long years have now passed and many more will flow over these lands of dream and spell
This ground, now green, besmeared it was with blood, stained by our kin, their foe they did fell
Hawk in the skies, winged brother nigh
Carry my memory far, that I should never die
Those who once were close, if their hearts be my nest
A hawk I will become, with you I will fly abreast
Colder it flows, the fall of today, ever longer sunsets in sadness wade
From chimneys veils of smoke unwind, trees down the valleys fall under blade
Nighing winter's chill encroaches when the woods don deadened frozen shrouds
A hawk in the skies, or maybe myself, on guard -neath the clouds, borne by the clouds
