Trying To Learn Norwegian By Listening To Black Metal

[Dino Velvet]

Is this possible?

Lyrics

Minnenes ekko stiller timen
Kneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra
Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker
Men endelig få lengselen slukket - Etter å dra

Drakk jeg for meget av livhåpets krus
Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt
For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus
Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt

I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
Derfor er jeg rolig når
Repet strammes rundt min nakke

I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
Derfor er jeg rolig når
Repet strammes rundt min nakke

Stumme vitner kan ei gi trøst
Menigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte
Det landet av fortapelse
Jeg egenhendig skapte

Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler
En vandrende studie i gråtkvalt messe-noir
Behersket siden tidenes morgen
Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen

I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel
At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv
Derfor er jeg rolig når
Repet strammes rundt min nakke

English lyrics
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The echoes of the memories silences the hour
Gagged in the heavy mind's chains i fall away
No longer I wan't to be bolted stuck to the anchor of sadness
But finally get the longing 'put out' - After leaving

Drank I too much of the cup of (life)hope
Took I the joy of vanity for granted
Beacause my battle against the emptyness' pain - This death anxietys intoxication
Is the only thing left - That is mine

In my lonelyness I know anyway
That I have no other to thank but myself
That's why I'm calm when
The rope is tightened around my neck

Mute witnesses can not give comfort
The common man in the funerals choir gathering will never see
The land of the lost
I with my own hands created

This intense drag towards death's portals
A walking studie in choked weeped service (as in church)
Ruled since the dawn of time
But something I never let go of - Was the sorrow

In my lonelyness I know anyway
That I have no other to thank but myself
That's why I'm calm when
The rope is tightened around my neck

Yes, it will work, I learned a little German by watching Seseme Straße in German.

[Steve-Oh]

Hmm.
I'll be damned.
He's the guy who does the voice of Zorak!

[irvin66]

Hm...... You can try, but I think it may be as hard as Dimmu Borgir. Rock on mate!
(Du kan jo prøve, men jeg tror det kan bli like hardt som Dimmu Borgir.)

Here's another language lesson.

Norwegian Lyircs:

En skikkelse lå der på bakken
så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
en dyster sjel lå der på bakken
så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen

da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
for skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
en skygge av vondskapens makt

English Lyrics:

A figure laid on the ground
So malicious, that the flowers around him withered
A dark soul laid on the ground
So cold, that all water changed into ice
A shadow fell over the woods
As the figure's soul withered towards it
Because the figure's soul was a shadow
A shadow of the forces of evil

If you are a Swede, Norwegian is simple. The difference isn't much greater than between British and American English.

[speedking59]

not trying to be a snob or purist, but i've never thought of Dimmu Borgir as black metal

Sort of like trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese by watching shemale porn.

Through on some Soulfly in the background too.

There are you correct, but it is easier for a Norwegian to read Danish than Swedish.
