Ragnars Kvæði

(album: Hel - 2019)

Hvørki fekk hann Ragnar kongur
Frið um nátt rógv ella dag
Fyrr enn hann hevði knørrin smíða
Suður yvir hav

Títtir við streingjum berjast dreingir
Syngur í oddameingi
Klovna taka tvinni skjøldur
Ørnin dregur á veingir
Deyðir detta dreingir niður á svørðin

Frúgv steig inn um snekkjunnar bor
Tað mundi ongan vara
Orm bar hon í eyga á sær
Dóttir Sjúrðar snara

Sjúrður frægi var faðir hennar
Hann stóð í ormsins blóði
Ásla vard hon kallað sjálv
Og Brynhild var hennara móðir

[English translation:]

Ragnar king got neither
Peace at night or day
Until he had built the ship
South across the sea

Fast on their strings, heroes fight
The vanguard sings
Double shields split
The eagle draws its wings
Heroes fall dead down on the field

A lady stepped on the ship's board
Nobody seemed to notice
She bore a worm in her eye
Daughter of Sigurd the Fast

Sigurd the Fast was her father
He stood in the blood of the dragon
Asla was her name
And Brynhild was her mother
