Himmel Så Trind - Falconer

This is one of my new favorite songs. It happens to be in Swedish but a good song nonetheless.

Himmel Så Trind
By Falconer

Hör vindar som vill fly
Se korpen i himmel av bly
Det är frosten som nalkas
Var björk och lind är nu kal
I skogsråets grånande sal
Det är frosten som nalkas

Mot hårda tider det bär
Trollen de huttrar och svär
Det är frosten som nalkas
Se tranan som nu flyr
Mot varmare sydliger sky
Det är frosten som nalkas

Över land och hav sveper vinterns kalla vind
Snö is och en bister kyla från en himmel så trind
Över land och hav sveper vinterns kalla vind
Snö is och en bister kyla från en himmel så trind

Se Näckens fingrar så blå
Hans polska nu långsamt gå
Det är frosten som nalkas
Kälen nu stormsteg tar
Tur att man fjärrvärme har
Det är frosten som nalkas

Över land och hav sveper vinterns kalla vind
Snö is och en bister kyla från en himmel så trind
Över land och hav sveper vinterns kalla vind
Snö is och en bister kyla från en himmel så trind

I have been trying to find a translation for this song and found this:

Fat sky

Listen to the fleeing winds
see the raven in the sky of lead
it's frost approaching

Every birch and linden is bare now
in the greying halls of the Lady-of-the-woods
it's frost approaching

Hard times are a-coming
the trolls are shivering and swearing
it's frost approaching

See the crane fleeing
towards a warmer, southern sky
it's frost approaching

Over land and sea
the cold wind of winter sweeps in
Snow, ice and bitter cold
from a fat sky
it's frost approaching

See the blue fingers of Näcken [an evil water spirit]
His reel goes slower
it's frost approaching

The frost in the ground is coming fast
We're lucky to have central heating
it's frost approaching

If anybody reading this knows Swedish feel free to correct any part of this translation. This translation doesn't seem very good so any other translations would be wonderful.

yer instead of frost is approaching approaching i think it should be frost is nearing and instead of shivering and swearing it should be cursing other than that you've done an excellent translation
