- 1. 'Hin Onde' is a noa-name () for the Devil meaning 'the evil one', and incidentally, that name already exists in English.
- This line doesn't appear to mean anything, but is just there as a kind of refrain.
- 3. Actually, come to think of it, 'Fan' might be a noa-name too, but this translation will have to do until I can think of a better one.
- 4. This is a literal translation and maybe 'get' would be a better choice, since the Devil means he will give it willingly.
- 5. Or perhaps the meaning could be 'It gleamed far and wide like the sun', if there's an implied but unspoken 'omkring' at the end of the line. I'm not quite sure.
