Seidmannen klatrer opp i tre
Finner der jords gamle smerte
Kutter den ned i høstens fred
Med saks skjærer ut dets hjerte

Eikens løv mot bakken faller
Seidmannen åndene kaller!
Eikens løv mot jorden faller
Seidmannen tryllevers traller!

Løken legges i lintøy ned
Hellige eiketreånden
Seidmannen sikrer verdens fred;
Fruktbarhet, solmakt i hånden!

Eikens løv mot bakken faller
Seidmannen åndene kaller!
Eikens løv mot jorden faller
Seidmannen tryllevers traller!

Der er solens brennende kraft;
Der er jordens fruktbare hav;
I seidmannens mektige skaft;
I drottens beåndede stav

[English:]
The sorcerer climbs a tree
Finds Earth's old pain
Cut it down in autumn peace
With scissors cut out its heart

Oak leaves fall to the ground
Sorcerer calls the spirits!
Oak leaves fall to the ground
Sorcerer magic verse trolleys!

Onion laid down in swaddling clothes
Holy eiketreånden
Sorcerer ensure world peace;
Fertility, solmakt in hand!

Oak leaves fall to the ground
Sorcerer calls the spirits!

Where is the burning force;
Where is the earth fertile seas;
The shape of the sorcerer mighty shaft;
In Drottens inspirited spelling
