Hi, I don't speak Swedish but I would really like a translation of that song, I love it!
If any one knows a translation of it or a Swedish <-> English translator or even if they are willing to translate it for me I would be forever gratefull!

Even the subject of the song would be nice to know. :)

I suppose you mean "Mjölner" by Thyrfing?

The song is an ode to the almighty hammer of asa-god Tor (Thor); named Mjölner.
A symbol of the ancient powers and the north we knew before the Christian beliefs came in and destroyed everything :)

Since I am very hung-over and I don't have anything to do I hereby give you my personal translation of Mjölnir by Thyrfing. Don't even know for sure if this is the song you want translated but I have nothing better to do :)

A sign for Swedens strenght
A symbol for vanished splendour
Uniting us who found the true strenght of the north
Uniting us who honours bygone power

The powerful thunder you bring
Carried by the god who travels pulled by goats
And when he swings Hrugners death
The mighty hammerblows echo

You who wield the most powerful roar
You who slayed the earths (girdel)
You who is swung by the son of the earth
You who are the executioner of the (Tursar)

A weapon of steel which never bows down
The talk of your power seems endless
We could never betray your spirit
Sons of Heimdall carry you constantly

Even now as we've suffered many losses
We carry you who was forged by Sindre
On our chests we will proudly wear you
Forever defying worldly powers

On our chests we will proudly wear you
Forever defying worldly powers
We who honour the true spirit of the north
We who one day will go to Valhalla

Du, som Baldersbålet helgade (hmm can't do anything good with this one)

You who crushed those who angered Odhins son

Whoohoo, cool! I´ve seen this just now! I think I´ll bring it up to the " active threads" with my post, so the other Thyrfing fans can have a look as well!
