Lyrics
Ek man jötna
ár of borna,
þá er forðum mik
fædda höfðu;
níu man ek heima,
níu íviðjur,
mjötvið mæran
fyr mold neðan.
Ár var alda,
þar er ekki var,
var-a sandr né sær
né svalar unnir;
jörð fannsk æva
né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga
en gras hvergi.
Áðr Burs synir
bjöðum of yppðu,
þeir er Miðgarð
mæran skópu;
sól skein sunnan
á salar steina,
þá var grund gróin
grænum lauki.
Sól varp sunnan,
sinni mána,
hendi inni hægri
um himinjöður;
sól þat né vissi,
hvar hon sali átti,
máni þat né vissi,
hvat hann megins átti,
stjörnur þat né vissu
hvar þær staði áttu.
Þá gengu regin öll
á rökstóla,
ginnheilög goð,
ok um þat gættusk;
nótt ok niðjum
nöfn of gáfu,
morgin hétu
ok miðjan dag,
undorn ok aftan,
árum at telja.
Hittusk æsir
á Iðavelli,
þeir er hörg ok hof
hátimbruðu;
afla lögðu,
auð smíðuðu,
tangir skópu
ok tól gørðu.
Ár var alda,
þar er ekki var,
var-a sandr né sær
né svalar unnir;
jörð fannsk æva
né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga
en gras hvergi.

Sól varp sunnan,
sinni mána,
hendi inni hægri
um himinjöður;
sól þat né vissi,
hvar hon sali átti,
máni þat né vissi,
hvat hann megins átti,
(i «fadingen»:)
stjörnur þat né vissu
hvar þær staði áttu.
Lyrics translation
Ek man the giants
years of borna,
then there is olden interac
born had;
nine remember the drive home,
nine íviðjur,
mjötvið mæran
the fur of the mold below.
Years was immemorial,
there is not was,
was-a sandr nor saer
nor the chilling waves;
ground fannsk æva
nor the heavens above,
gap var ginnunga
but grass nowhere.
Before Burs sons
bjöðum too yppðu,
they is middle-earth
mæran skópu;
the sun shone from the south
on the salar stones,
then it was land overgrown
the green of the green onions.
Solar dumping south,
his moon,
hand inside the right
about himinjöður;
the sun that nor knew,
hvar hon sali had,
a moon that nor knew,
what he megins had,
the stars that neither knew
where it places you.
Then came verizon all
on rökstóla,
ginnheilög deity,
ok about that gættusk;
night ok seed
the names of gave,
morgin promised
ok, mid-day,
undorn ok rear,
years at believe.
Hittusk swells
on Iðavelli,
they is hörg ok hof
hátimbruðu;
obtaining laid,
wealth made,
pliers skópu
ok tool gørðu.
