Kledd I Brynje Og Smykket Blodorm

Urner skrek fra himmelfjell
Nattm'rk laa garden
Da ulvers og ravners likkonge ble f'dt
Dagen er kommet
'yet kvesses (kriger ulvens venn)
Kledd I brynje od smykket blod'rn
Sveipet inn sitt ravnesaar
(I) sn'fjell solfjell ringstad haatun himmelvanger
H'vdinger s'kte til sverdstevnets kamp ved logefjell
Lysskjaer lynglimt flakket
Valkyrier red over himmelvanger
Vaapen. Klang straalebunter stod fra spyd
Stenket av blod var brynjer
Saa sant jeg lever skall sverd klinga
Herskeren sendte sendemenn ut over land og sj'
For aa samle et mannskap
Rikelig nok av det r'de gull
B'd de haermenn og haermenns s'nner
Stolt gled de ut gjennom orvasund
Alle de haerskip med lange hoder
Aarer knaket jern braket
Det runget 1 skjold som berg brotnet I brenningens slag
Gjennom doggvaate daler og d'kke lier
Red krigere paa svipud og sveggljud til solheimar
Skoddemoen skalv
Naa er de harme nivlungene
Det raste en storm av staal I m'rkskogen
Da fiender m'ttes ved frekastein
Fremst I flokken der folk kjempet
Uredd han var
Vill av stridslyst
Beinhardt var hjertet I det tunge bryst
Hardt raar eder I ringstad naa
Saa sant jeg lever skall sverd klinge
Hill Nordveg.

[English translation:]

Clad In Armour And Adorned Blood-serpent6

The eagles screamed from Skyfell7
Dark as the night lies the courtyard
When the corpse-king of the wolves and ravens is born
The day has come
The eye sharpens (the wolf's friend8 fights)
Clad in armour and adorned blood-serpent9
Swept in his raven wound
(In) Snowfell, Sunfell, Ringsted, Highsquare, Plains of Heaven10
The chieftains sought the battle of the sword by the Flamefell11
The glow in a lightning flashed
Valkyries rode over the Plains of Heaven12
The weapon. Melodic bundles of rays shimmered from spear
Sprinkled of blood was the armour
As true as I live shall the sword resound
The ruler13 sent messengers out over land and seas
To gather an army
And plenty enough of the red gold
To offer to the warriors and to the warriors' sons
Proudly they sailed out through Orvasund14
All the warships with long prows
Oars dashed iron clashed
It echoed in the shield as rocks broke in the breakers' battle
Through dew-wetted vales and dim slopes
Rode the warriors on Svipud and Sveggjud15 to Sunhalls16
The foggy moor trembled
When they are angry, the Nibelungs
A storm of steel raged in the dark wood
When enemies met by Frekastone17
First in the flock where people fought
Fearless he was18
Ardent for battle
Bone-hard was the heart in the heavy breast
Severely you rule in Ringsted now
As true as I live shall the sword resound
Hail Norway.
