Trollstilt is a traditional-style folk song written in Norwegian to honor the roots of the music and the stories behind it. Some songs are better carried by the language they were born from. If this resonates, supporting on Bandcamp helps keep this kind of work alive. #folk #tradition #storysongs #norwegian https://adamsweet.bandcamp.com/track/trollstilt Trollstilt (English Translation) Verse 1 At the forest edge by the mountain's foot where dusk is watching you stand stones that remember ancient paths from before humankind arrived Verse 2 The moss is silent, the river knows what the night still hides footsteps heavy as years on years go where no one dares now Chorus Trollstilt, trollstilt, stand still earth while the mountain holds its breath Trollstilt, trollstilt, words of night move heavy in the spruce's sigh Verse 3 Cows go home before darkness falls the bell is silent early evening for something stirs behind rock and hall where stone and shadow are themselves Verse 4 Grandfather said in a lowered voice do not believe all that you see for what sleeps in the mountain's chest has watched us come and leave before Chorus Trollstilt, trollstilt, stand still earth while the mountain holds its breath Trollstilt, trollstilt, words of night move heavy in the spruce's sigh Verse 5 At daybreak all is as before just frost on closed-over fields but tracks that lead to nowhere lie hidden in frozen bark Final Chorus Trollstilt, trollstilt, land of memory where stone has long thoughts Trollstilt, trollstilt, hand in hand with time that never ends
