Do we still need UJD translations (not all UJD songs are translated on that Wikia page) ? Found those, I don't know if they are any good:
Translation Sang (Song)
From a time when everything was dawning
The time the human children have forgotten
Like mud from the embrace of time in memoriam
A time no one knows, a time without a name
In the deep caves you were lying
When trollkind roamed the wilderness
You were few in numbers
When my people went to the surface
A black secret in the shadows of ancient times
Forgotten knowledge the rocks now teach me
About the Trollking's war against a poisonous pig
The stone whispers, but it tells no lie
From the well of truth I now take my drink of death
It fills my lungs, it fills my snout
From the well of truth
Darkness and depth

Translation Korpens Saga (Tale of the raven)
I saw my horde of trolls and wraiths
Bent spears as far as the eye can see
A thousand bodies all dead and cold
My forest army now lies in hibernation
Then she sang a dark tune of hate
She promised gifts, souls for food
To a somber spirit from the kingdom of twilight
A rune etched, one never before seen
Like a lightning bolt in the night with firey color
A force that swells in flesh and marrow
A tongue of ill omen and black stains
Now heard are screams of thousands in pain
Treetops and mountain peaks for leverage
Black as thunderheads and forest bogs
Feathers sprouting where skin once was
Til the end of time they proclaim their worries
So did the shredder lost his brother in war
They flew to the edge of the world
By a forgotten and sinister magic
The charred spirit felt no remorse
Now falls the master of black skies
The call of the battle and the chill of the corpse
Still filled with the heat of battle and burning hate
They feed without honor on the rotting remains of war
...until the end of Time

Translation Nedgang (Descent)
A great gift of the ancient mountain
In the earth and the water
In the well of darkness I found truth
My story of birth came true
Thirty days and thirty nights
I climbed towards the depths of the earth
The horn-clad one walked solemnly
One that has tasted the truth and become cleansed
I saw the path of the sun and the moon
I saw the path of truth, so lonely
A rune foretold war and horrors
A rune told me of blood and rage

Translation Ur Djupet (From The Deep)
Damned and forgotten
Eternity, loneliness
I walked the steps
Last and first
A thousand and thirty steps
towards the burning chambers of the deep
The tremors, the tremors
Then appeared the mother of the deep
So hidden, so secret
About her I say no more
Of the mothers wisdom sings
No living soul
From what I thought
Would be my demise, I arose and felt the cold
A light so yearned
A light so soothing
I took down a moose
Under the crescent of the moon
And drank its lifeblood so warm
Like the embers of the deep
It burned in my throat
Rage slashing and heart burning
The time of vengeance has come
Blood for blood
was the shape of vengeance
I etched into my skin
The name of the ancient God
The name of the ancient God
I took down a moose
Under the crescent of the moon
And drank its lifeblood so warm
Like the embers of the deep
It burned in my throat

Translation Slagbröder (Brothers Of War)
Like a deep call from an abyss of hate
The forgotten souls arose
One by one, man by man, dead ones without peace
Armed with weapons, armed with shields
A sea of sinister undead men
The army of hate and ashes
They found my path, they ran through my forest
Under the red gloom of the moon
I felled them wave by wave, no souls in peace
One spear could not win this fight
Brother Raven heard the song of swords
Soon the sky was darkened by my brothers
A fight it was, one last time
Brothers stood side by side
Thunder in the skies, a mighty song
Raven's beak and sword quenched their thirst
They fought til victory for the final honor
This victory is worn by the raven still

Translation En Mäktig Här (A Mighty Horde)
When I raised my snout towards the eternal sky
I heard a sound I can never forget
A mighty horde at the edge of the forest
Few could even dream this sight
I took my spear, I lifted my horn
From the lips of the horn came a mighty call
The horde listnened, marching forward
They gave me their lives, the tribe of the mountain
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now they are dragged forth on gnarled legs
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Blod runs like a river
Over the land and the streams
A betrayal now sensed by the wise ones
Few ears listened then
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now distant lands are closer
Forward! Forward! Forward!
For years they have wandered
The path of war
Blood from the west and gold from the east
Then a bog where the moon played
Became the end of victory and a bitter betrayal
She waded in the mud of ancient times
Torn her hair with snake venom
Drained souls and the courage of armies
It has been her abyss for a thousand years
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now they are dragged forth on gnarled legs
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Blod runs like a river
Over the land and the streams
A betrayal now sensed by the wise ones
Few ears listened then
A gift from the spirit of the ancient mountain
A forgotten pact
Now distant lands are closer
Forward! Forward! Forward!

Translation Ormhäxan (The Serpent Witch)
In a black bog by spruce roots
She stood covered in tar and soot
A poisonous sow, an unrelenting nightmare
The most beatiful shadow from the depths of the earth
The snakes strike and the snakes grip
Slithering from her head
Like a crown of horns, like spider's legs
Like the night arisen from the depths of the earth she screamed
She etched my flesh, she drank my blood
A searing blade in the heart's flesh
I was sacrificed to her, this one
Poisonous worm that kills all
A sudden betrayal brought me down
I fell gnarled and lifeless
Everything dead except a small spark
In the soul where the ancient spirit planted life
My blood flowed into the bogs
it turned blacker than black

Translation Maktens Spira (The Scepter Of Might)
I ran with the wind
Northward, the perpetual ice
I found a valley
A massive gash
Seagulls guided me from the sky
Then I met the ice
Then I found the sea
A storm arose from the deep waves
A secret of the scepter of might
Ancient Gods now etched through me
The trail went into the ice
Deeply towards it's frozen core
There it stood, forever unmoving
Followed a crack and the flowing water
Down towards the blue I wandered
The ice in my veins, for ten days
There was a cave, a ghostly chamber
In the middle of the cave he stood
Which the deep has conjured from the light of stars
The mighty warrior of the void
From his frozen hand I ate
A spear from an endless place
A cry, a rumble from the blade of the spear
The spire of might with a row of stars
Thousands of steps towards the the surface
From the depths I once again arose
Now the grin of my snout will not be extinguished
A battle now beckons, soon all will be finished.

Translation Under Tva Runor (Under Two Runes)
I took my steps in the land of mud
Thousands of ravens in the dark sky
A swamp in the shadow of Death
There lay my moment of vengeance
No poison kills me
No devious advice
The spear with pride of stars
The troll with the power of the void
I saw a hole, a stream
Took my wrath and swallowed the moss
Below was a passage, an opening
I let it draw me in
Towards the deep embrace I traveled once more
Into the depths of ancient memory
Towards the depth of the God, towards the time of vengeance
There gripping were the claws of shadows' nightmare
She drank my blood
She stole my power
In fire so blue
I wriggled free
An ancient God who now sent me
She tore from me my inner fire
Then I took my spear of stars
With all my might I slashed
I saw the truth for what it was
The ancient God and the witch of serpents
Through the same bloodied mouth they spoke
As one, etched under two runes
No vengeance came to me
But the words were not forgotten
I was made king with the power of runes
Through the pact of vengeance and hatred
The gift of the ancient God
The power of runes
Towards the moon I ascended
Magic born again

Hidden Track 12
Translation Trollvisan (Farce Of The Troll)
The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!
Who has spilled my mead?
But no animal in the forest or the deep caves
Knew who had spilled the forest troll's drink
The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!
Who has trampled my mushrooms?
But no animal in the forest or children of the sky
Knew who had trampled the whole field
The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!
Mead and pork to the wise ones!
No animals in the forest or the cave troll's children
Knew that it was the only thing the troll had left
And the rats told the troll;
The Christians have spilled your mead!
The Christians have trampled your mushrooms!
The Christians have beaten your brothers!
Then the troll got mad and left his stone
He went to the Christian land and burned the ugly church down
