Lyrics
Fleygði Óðinn
ok í folk of skaut,
þat var enn folkvíg
fyrst í heimi;
brotinn var borðveggr
borgar ása,
knáttu vanir vígspá
völlu sporna.
Þá gengu regin öll
á rökstóla,
ginnheilög goð,
ok um þat gættusk,
hverjir hefði loft allt
lævi blandit
eða ætt jötuns
Óðs mey gefna.
Þórr einn þar vá
þrunginn móði,
— hann sjaldan sitr —
er hann slíkt of fregn -:
á gengusk eiðar,
orð ok særi,
mál öll meginlig,
er á meðal fóru.
Veit hon Heimdallar
hljóð of folgit
und heiðvönum
helgum baðmi,
á sér hon ausask
aurgum forsi
af veði Valföðrs.
Vituð ér enn — eða hvat?
Ein sat hon úti,
þá er inn aldni kom
yggjungr ása
ok í augu leit.
Hvers fregnið mik?
Hví freistið mín?
Allt veit ek, Óðinn,
hvar þú auga falt,
í inum mæra
Mímisbrunni.
Drekkr mjöð Mímir
morgun hverjan
af veði Valföðrs.
Vituð ér enn — eða hvat?
Lyrics translation
Threw Odin
ok in the folk of shot,
that was still folkvíg
the first in the world;
broken was borðveggr
city axes,
drooping accustomed vígspá
the land counter.
Then came verizon all
on rökstóla,
ginnheilög deity,
ok about that gættusk,
who had the air all
lævi blandit
or a race of giant
Óðs mary given.
Þórr one in wow
resonates with modi,
— he rarely sitr —
he is such a too word -:
on gengusk eiðar,
the words of proverbs offends,
measure all meginlig,
is among the went.
Know hon Heimdallar
the sound of folgit
und heiðvönum
holy baðmi,
on a hon ausask
aurgum forsi
of the mortgaged Pawn.
Vituð me yet — or what?
Alone sat she out,
the ancient came
yggjungr axes
ok in the eyes of the search.
Each fregnið doth?
Why tempt me?
All knows ek, Odin,
where you eye fold,
in the woods mæra
Mímisbrunni.
Drekkr mead of Mimir
the morning hverjan
of the mortgaged Pawn.
Vituð me yet — or what?
