My Mother Told Me (In Old Norse)

That said my motherÞat mælti mín móðir
That I should buyAt mér skyldi kaupa
A ship and beautiful oarsFley ok fagrar árar
Go away with the vikingsFara á brott með víkingum

Stand up in the bowStanda upp í stafni
Steer a dear shipStýra dýrum knerri
Sail to the harborHalda svá til hafnar
Strike a man and anotherHǫggva mann ok annan
Strike a man and anotherHǫggva mann ok annan
