Zij die voorzagen, hun doel na hun dagen
Bereiken de poorten van Alvaders hal
Schelden en speren, vlees, bier en mede
Zij vallen ten deel aan wie Wodan verkoor
Naar de hal der gevallenen streven de sterken
Wier dadenroem dood en vergetelheid tart
Eeervol geleefd en als helden gestorven
In lied'ren en heldendicht leven zij voort
De hoorn van Heimdal verkondigt de oorlog
De mensen en goden omarmen hun lot
Aan godenzijde te sterven in 't strijden
Laat het oude vergaan en het nieuwe ontstaat
De orde en aarde, zij zullen herrijzen
En Balder en Hodur verzoenen zich dan
Ontstaan na het noodlot van mensen en goden
Leven en Levensdrang keren dan weer
[English translations:]
[To The Hall Of The Fallen]
Those who have foreseen their final destination1
Reach the gates of All-Fathers hall
Shields and spears, meat, beer and mead
They are allocated to those chosen by Wodan
[Chorus:]
For the Hall of the Fallen, the strong ones strive,
Whose fame of their deeds defies death and oblivion
Lived honourably, and died a heros death
In chants and epics, they live on
The horn of Heimdallr proclaims the war
The people and gods embrace their fate
To die in battle alongside the gods
Let the old things perish, and new things will emerge
[Chorus:]
For the Hall of the Fallen, the strong ones strive,
Whose fame of their deeds defies death and oblivion
Lived honourably, and died a heros death
In chants and epics, they live on
The order and earth, they will resurrect
And then, Baldr and Hr will reconcile
Theyll come to existence after the fate of men and gods
Then, life and zest for life will return once again
[Chorus:]
For the Hall of the Fallen, the strong ones strive,
Whose fame of their deeds defies death and oblivion
Lived honourably, and died a heros death
In chants and epics, they live on
