My Mother Told Me

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Sail to distant shores

Þat mælti mín móðir

At mér skyldi kaupa

Fley ok fagrar árar

Fara á brott með víkingum

Standa upp í stafni

Stýra dýrum knerri

Halda svá til hafnar

Hǫggva mann ok annan

Hǫggva mann ok annan

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

I sail to distant shores

Þél höggr stórt fyr stáli

Stafnkvígs á veg jafnan

Út með éla meitli

Andærr jötunn vandar

En svalbúinn selju

Sverfr eirar vanr þeiri

Gestils ölpt með gustum

Gandr of stál fyr brandi

Gandr of stál fyr brandi

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

I sail to distant shores

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Sail to distant shores
