Ansuz, Ansuz!
Skipet fa fr¥ kai
Aldri vil ho vende att
Ho er trygg i stjernenatt

Wunjo, Wunjo!
Reisa har v«rt lang
Han som sèd kjem draumen til
Tek han dit han draume vil

Vidare fr¥ tanken
Fri fr¥ kjèd
Ingen svar, ingen sirkel
Evig fèdsel, evig dèd

Eg tok og eg fekk
Eg fall, flaug og gjekk
Det vart mèrkt og eg s¥g
Djupt ned, kor det tyste r¥r

Me vandra fritt og langt
Lyset kom, og synet svann
Husa er tomme, og himmelen raud
Skipet legg fr¥ kai

Ansuz, Ansuz!
The ship left for the sea
Never will she return
She is safe in the starry night

Wunjo, Wunjo!
The journey's been long
The dream comes to the sleeping
Brings him where he longs to dream

Further from thought
Free from the flesh
No answers, no circles
Eternal birth, eternal death

I took and received
I fell, flew and walked
It was dark and i saw
Deep below, where silence roars

We wandered far and freely
The light came, and the sight faded
The houses are abandoned, and the sky is red
The ship is leaving for the sea
