Vafthrudnismal

Tell me what's the right decision - I want a true advice
My inner soul craves to see who possess the power of wisdom
I want to see the halls of the sage giant Vafthrudnir
Large is my knowledge about the doctrines of the world

Far have I fared
much have I tried
Strove in strength
with the wisest men
Gagnrath is my name
as a guest I come
Your welcome is my demand
I wandered long

So you are the man that treads my hall
And speak to me with unkind tone?
Never will you leave this place
'til you prove that you're wiser than me

The giant asks his questions 'bout the origin of sky and earth
Gagnrath gives the right answers without hesitation

The wanderer's own version of the tournament follows
And only one last question is left

You alone know what has been
I doomed myself
when I told you what fate will give the gods
It was a fault to witness my sanity in competition
Forever you will be the wisest of all
