Brothers will fight and dieBræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask
Sisters will betray each otherMunu systrungar sifjum spitla
The world is harsh, full of depravityHart er í heimi, hórdómr mikitl
Beard age, battle age, shields will shatterSkeggöld, skalmöld, skildir ro klofnir
Wind age, wolf age, before the world collapsesVindöld, vargöld, áðr veröld steypisk
No man will spare anotherMun engi maðr öðrum þyrma
Dark will be the sun in summers to comeSvört verða sölskin um sumur eftir

Beard age, battle age, wind age, wolf ageSkeggöld, skalmöld, vindöld, vargöld
Dark will be the sun in summers to comeSvört verða sölskin um sumur eftir

Tree of spiritsGal anda viðr
Tree of pathsGangla viðr
Tree of ridersRiðanda viðr
Tree of flowingViðr rinnanda
Tree of sittersViðr sitjanda
Tree of blessersViðr signianda
Tree of travelersViðr faranda
Tree of flyersViðr fluganda
Shall all be forgotten and dieSkal alta fyrna ok um döya

She sees it rise againSér hon upp koma öðru sinni
Earth from the abyss, lush and greenJörð ór ægi iðjagræna
A cloak of waterfalls, an eagle flies aboveFatla forsar flýgr örn yfir
A glance at the fish in the netGá er I á fjatli fiska veiðir
Through the ages, we will enjoy the blissUm aldrdaga ynðis njóta
