Circle of Life

It's a nice and a sunny day,
Today, the sun will conquer the night.
And slowly start to die,
Until the next year.

Today, I'll become a part of my clan,
They will give me a name,
Blessed by the gods,
I'll be a man!

In the circle of life,
My soul will explore the underworld.
I'll climb the tree of life
The great Yggdrasil!

Gathered around me,
The wise men and women of our clan.

I'm sitting in the middle,
Waiting for the sacred song.

In the circle of life,
Odin will take me to the nine worlds.
Riding the eight-legged horse,
I'll visit the land of the Dead.

The men start to beat their shields,
The women begin to sing the Vardlokur,
To summon the souls of our forefathers!
Beside me, my grandfather was smiling at me from beyond!

In the fog of the Small Death,
I start to dance on the top of Yggdrasil!
My grandfather told me from beyond:
"You're a man now, be Magnus Odinsson!"
