Austpe satt den gamle
i jernskogen
og fdteder
Fenris unger,
av alle disse
skal en komme
i trollham
og tyne sola,
Garm gjrkraftig
ved Gnipaheller,
lenken slitner,
ls farer ulven,
eldgamle frasagn
og framtid vet jed,
ser Ragnarok koome
for kampguder.
Bror skal gi sin bror
sbaneser i kamapen,
sskenbarnskal
slite blodsbend,
hardt et det i heimen,
hor skal re der,
kstid, sverdtid
sjkold blir splintret,
[Refrain:]
Sola svartner
jord stiger i hav,
fra himmelen kverver
klare stjerner.
[Refrain]
vindtid, vargtid
frverden ger under,
ingen skener en annens liv
Ygg-drasil ster,
men det eldgamle treet
jamrer skjelvende,
jotnen lses.
[English translation:]
Ragnarok
On the east sat the old one1
In the iron wood
And gave birth there
To Fenris youngs2
Of all those
Shall one come
In magic features
And shall cast away the sun
Garm3 become stronger
By Gnipaheller4
The chain wears out,
Let the wolf wander;
The old legends
And future I know,
See Ragnarok come
For the battle gods
Brother shall surrender to brother
Mortal wounds in the battle
Cousins shall
Cut bloodline;
Hard it is in the house
Whore shall rule there
Axetime, swordtime
Shield are splintered,
The sun darkens
Earth sinks in the ocean,
From the sky disappear
Bright stars;
Windtime, wolftime
Before the world goes down;
Nobody spares one other's life
Yggdrasill5 stands,
But the ancient tree
Mourns trembling,
The Giants turn loose.
