My Mother Told Me - Saltatio Mortis

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

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
