We come from the land of the ice and snow
We originate from a cold and icy land.
From the midnight sun where
In the region of the midnight sun, where
The hot springs blow the hammer of the gods
Geothermal springs release hot water; a reference to powerful natural forces, possibly associated with Norse mythology.
Will drive our ships to new lands
The legendary power of the gods will propel our ships to unexplored territories.
To fight the horde singing and crying:
We are ready to battle against an enemy, expressing our determination and emotions through song.
"Valhalla I am coming!"

On we sweep with thrashing oar
We continue our journey with vigorous rowing.
Our only goal is the western shore
Our sole objective is to reach the western shore, emphasizing a focused and determined pursuit.
We come from the land of the ice and snow

From the midnight sun where

The hot springs blow

How soft your fields so green
A description of the pleasant landscapes and nature of the destination.
Can whisper tales of gore
The land's tranquility can tell stories of violence and bloodshed.
Of how we calmed the tides of war
Recollection of past heroic deeds, bringing peace by quelling the storms of war.
We are your overlords
Asserting dominance, claiming authority over the listener as overlords.
On we sweep with thrashing oar
Continuation of the journey with forceful rowing.
Our only goal is the western shore
Reaffirmation of the singular purpose: reaching the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and
A directive to halt and reconstruct any destroyed structures or aspects of life.
Rebuild all your ruins

For peace and trust can win the
Highlighting the potential for peace and trust to prevail, overcoming losses.
Day despite all your losing
