Hvem skal synge meg
i daudsvevna slynge meg
nr eg p Helvegen gr
og dei spora eg trr er kalda, s kalda
Eg songane skte
Eg songane sende
d den djupaste brunni
gav meg drper s ramme
av Valfaders pant
Alt veit eg, Odin
var du gjmde ditt auge
Hvem skal synge meg
i daudsvevna slynge meg
nr eg p Helvegen gr
og dei spora eg trr er kalda, s kalda
rle ell i dagars hell
enn veit ravnen om eg fell
Nr du ved helgrindi str
og nr du laus deg m riva
skal eg fylgje deg
over Gjallarbrua med min song
Du blir lyst fr banda som bind deg!
Du er lyst fr banda som batt deg!
Dyr fe, dyr frender
Dyr sjlv det sama
men ordet om deg aldreg dyr
vinn du et gjetord gjevt
Dyr fe, dyr frender
Dyr sjlv det sama
Eg veit et som aldreg dyr
dom om daudan kvar
[English translation:]
Who shall sing me
into the death-sleep sling me
When I walk on the Path of Death
and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
when the deepest well
gave me the drops so touched
of Death-fathers wager
I know it all, Odin
where you hid your eye
Who shall sing me
into the death-sleep sling me
When I walk on the Path of Death
and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold
early in the days end
still the raven knows if I fall
When you stand by the Gate of Death
And you have to tear free
I shall follow you
across the Resounding Bridge with my song
You will be free from the bonds that bind you!
You are free from the bonds that bound that you!
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
but the word about you will never die
if you win a good reputation
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
I know one that never dies
the reputation of those who died
