Lyrics
Sat þar á haugi
ok sló hörpu
gýgjar hirðir,
glaðr Eggþér;
gól of hánum
í galgviði
fagrrauðr hani,
sá er Fjalarr heitir.
Gól of ásum
Gullinkambi,
sá vekr hölða
at Herjaföðrs;
en annarr gelr
fyr jörð neðan
sótrauðr hani
at sölum Heljar.
Geyr nú Garmr mjök
fyr Gnipahelli,
festr mun slitna,
en freki renna;
fjölð veit ek fræða,
fram sé ek lengra
um ragna rök
römm sigtíva.
Bræðr munu berjask
ok at bönum verðask,
munu systrungar
sifjum spilla;
hart er í heimi,
hórdómr mikill,
skeggöld, skalmöld,
skildir ro klofnir,
vindöld, vargöld,
áðr veröld steypisk;
mun engi maðr
öðrum þyrma.
Leika Míms synir,
en mjötuðr kyndisk
at inu galla
Gjallarhorni;
hátt blæss Heimdallr,
horn er á lofti,
mælir Óðinn
við Míms höfuð.
Skelfr Yggdrasils
askr standandi,
ymr it aldna tré,
en jötunn losnar;
hræðask allir
á helvegum
áðr Surtar þann
sefi of gleypir.
Hvat er með ásum?
Hvat er með alfum?
Gnýr allr Jötunheimr,
æsir ro á þingi,
stynja dvergar
fyr steindurum,
veggbergs vísir.
Vituð ér enn — eða hvat?
Geyr nú Garmr mjök
fyr Gnipahelli,
festr mun slitna
en freki renna;
fjölð veit ek fræða,
fram sé ek lengra
um ragna rök
römm sigtíva.
Lyrics translation
Sat there on the mound
ok struck the harp
gýgjar shepherd,
removed from Eggþér;
crowed too hánum
in galgviði
fagrrauðr cock,
the one is Fjalarr called.
Crowed of axes
Gullinkambi,
saw vekr hölða
at Herjaföðrs;
but the second gelr
for earth below
sótrauðr cock
at the halls of Hades.
Barks now Garmr cunning
the fur Gnipahelli,
festr will worn,
but freki slide;
fjölð do not educate,
forward is drive farther
about ragna argument
a concentrated sigtíva.
Deep will may fight
ok at bönum verðask,
will systrungar
sifjum spoil;
hart is in the world,
hórdómr great,
skeggöld, skalmöld,
left ro split,
vindöld, battles are,
ere the world steypisk;
will no man
other spare.
Playing Mimir's sons,
but mjötuðr kyndisk
at inu defects
A bullhorn or something;
way blæss Heimdallr,
angle is on the air,
recommends Odin
by Mimir the head.
Trembles Yggdrasils
askr standing,
ymr it old wood,
but the hulk is released;
hræðask all
on helvegum
ere Surtar on
the reeds of the swallows.
What is with the axes?
What is with alfum?
Rumble all Jötunheimr,
swells ro in parliament,
moaning dwarves
the fur steindurum,
veggbergs indicator.
Vituð me yet — or what?
Barks now Garmr cunning
the fur Gnipahelli,
festr will worn
but freki slide;
fjölð do not educate,
forward is drive farther
about ragna argument
a concentrated sigtíva.
