Lyrics (Old Norse) /Egils Saga
Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa yp í stafni,
stira dýrum knerri,
halda sváu til hadnar
hoggva mann ok annan.
English translation / Egils Saga
"My mother wants a price paid
To purchase my proud-oared ship
Standing high in the stern
I'll scour for plunder.
The stout Viking steersman
Of this shining vessel:
Then home to harbour
After hewing down a man or two."
