Hullabaloo, I rushed down to the brook
A savior
I made a ship and said a short prayer
Because I was scared
The sun shone and the brook flowed
Buttercups, buttercups - the flies are dying
But today I'm supposed to save as many flies as possible
In each hand I carry a string - determined
I throw them into the abyss and try
To haul the flies in before
The smolts reach them where they fight
The stream and the water
That is how the day passed
I got on board, and begun fighting the stream
Which had already killed so many
I can't breathe and I'm getting heavier with every wave
I need a miracle
Because I'm drowning - swimming
Trying to get onboard
I pull ashore and save myself onto,
onto the riverbank
I rest on a warm rock and let myself dry again
I throw myself into the abyss and try
To haul the flies in before
The smolts reach them where they fight
The stream and the water
Gustur, completely soaked
Frakkur feels how the boat has made it out of the strongest current
and the land slowly approaches
He is both aboard
Sea and on land saving
The flies that die here
Though especially himself
Eternal war and peace nowhere
And it wont be pleasant to sacrifice yorself
The days are long
