Krákumál
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Hitt vas æ fyr löngu
At grafvitnis morði
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Hafa gátu þá rafnar
œRna bráð at slíta
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Hörð kom ríð á skjöldu
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Hitt sýnisk mér raunar
At forlögum fylgjum
Fár gengr of sköp norna
Fýsumk hins at hætta
Heim bjóða mér dísir
Hefr Óðinn mér sendar
Glaðr skalk öl með ásum
Í öndvegi drekka
Lífs eru liðnar stundr
Læjandi skalk deyja
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Drekkum bjór af bragði
Ór bjúgviðum hausa
Sýtira drengr við dauða
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi
Grimt stendr grand af naðri
Sonum mínum man svella
Sinn föður ráðinn verða
Fýsumk hins at hætta
Heim bjóða mér dísir
Hefr Óðinn mér sendar
Glaðr skalk öl með ásum
Í öndvegi drekka
Lífs eru liðnar stundr
Læjandi skalk deyja
Krákumál
We strike with the sword
That was long ago
At the wolf's murder
We strike with the sword
They have the power
To break the bonds quickly
We strike with the sword
Hard came the ride on the shield
We strike with the sword
It seems to me indeed
That we follow fate
Few escape the norns' decree
I ask for a halt
The goddesses offer me a home
Odin has sent me
I shall drink ale with the gods
In the hall of the slain
My life's hours are past
Laughing, I shall die
We strike with the sword
We drink beer with relish
From the curved horns
The valiant man with death
We strike with the sword
A terrible serpent stands
My sons will swell
To become their father's avenger
I ask for a halt
The goddesses offer me a home
Odin has sent me
I shall drink ale with the gods
In the hall of the slain
My life's hours are past
Laughing, I shall die
