lyrics

dressed up like billy-goats
bring plays door to door
young people parade
as they take porridge left lest milk curdles and sours
leaving gifts they say

we’ll be scattering ash and it’s blessings for the twelve nights of juul
through the meeting and the laughing
and the tellings of heroes and fools
we watched the oaken log burn
for Odin’s son’s strength
for Freyr’s bounties return
twelve days and twelve nights of renewal
at the feast of the juul

kept under the bed the oak ash it is said
keeps Thor’s thunder at bay
his lightening though frightening
is exciting remindings
of our yule log ablaze

we’ll be scattering ash and it’s blessings …etc

the boar is a-roasting as yule goat comes joking
the wild hunt rides inflamed
as sunwheels roll turning and bonfires are burning
welcome lengthening days

we’ll be scattering ash and it’s blessings …etc
