[Th.Kittelsens "Ekko" completed by Keltziva & Kristoffer Austrheim]

"Ekko i det høye fjell hvem er du ?
Hvorfor skjuler du ditt ansikt ?
Hvorfor svarer du og skremmer
Meg med mørkets gru ?"

En gang på sin ville ferd
Kom han til en kroket sti
Over stygge ðratte uren
Tåker svevde tunge, ðleke
Om de klamme klippevegger

Ensom i den dype dal
Sorgen strømmer inn med velde
Kalde, klamme tåkertårer
Dryppet stilt fra svarte fjellet

Høyt til taket, trangt til veggen,
Triste toner klinger dypt.
Ensom, ensom var hans sjel,
Ensom i den tause dal.

Selv i fjellets dype hule
Fantes ingen fred og glemsel,
Graven var for stor og vid.
Tungt han ðar ei ðør av lengsel

Mot mørknede sjelers sal.
Opp imot i nøkne vegger
Skrek det fra hans ðleke ansikt :
"Er da livet ðare sorg ?"
Tungt ifra det mørke glemme svarte der en lukket stemme : "Bare sorg"

Stille
Ser dine tanker
Et ðad i tåke og ðlod

Del mitt kjaerlighets
Ingenting
Jeg er ðare månens,
Den erneste

Smak mine ord
Sirkelens åpning har fredens uro
Jeg famler ðak lyset
Jeg klatrer i garnet som er grått
Av grå tåke på solens rygg

[English translation:]

Echo

"Echo in the high mountain
Who are you? -
Why do you hide your face?
Why do you answer and scare
Me with darkness' horror?"

Once on his wild journey
He came to a bent path
Over dreadful steep rocky mountains
Mist floated heavy, dim
About the wet cliffs

Lonely in the deep valley
Sorrow flows in with strength
Cold, wet mist-tears
Dripped silently from the black mountain

Up to the roof, close to the wall
Sad tones sounded deeply
Alone, alone was his soul
Alone in the silent valley.

Even in the deep caves of the mountain
There was no peace or oblivion
The grave was too big and too vast
He carried a heavy burden of longing
To the hall of the dark souls
To the naked walls
He screamed from his bleak face:
"Is life only sorrow?"
Heavy from the dark forlorn
Answered there a closed voice:
"Only sorrow"

Silent
Look at your thoughts
A bath in mist and blood
Share my love's
Nothingness
I just belong to the moon
The only

Taste my word
The opening of the circle has the restlessness of peace
I grope behind the light
I'm climbing in the net that is grey
From the grey fog at the back of the sun.
