| Många var de som föll
| Many were the ones who fell
|
| Desto fler runt Valhalls fyllda bord
| All the more around Valhall's filled tables
|
| En sorgesång jag skänker dem
| A mourning song I give them
|
| Som vidare för I sköldmöars famn
| As further in the arms of the shield shields
|
| Tankar och tårar till dem som gått hän
| Thoughts and tears to those who passed away
|
| Som nu blickar vid Asgårds port
| Who now looks at Asgård's gate
|
| Minnen och kväden skaldas snart
| Memories and poems will soon be scalded
|
| Vid elden I gillestid
| By the fire In happy time
|
| Vi som här sitta höjer våra horn
| We who sit here raise our horns
|
| Till de som sitter vid Allfaderns bord
| To those sitting at the Father's table
|
| Tillsammans dricker vi segerns full
| Together we drink the victory full
|
| Till enöga vis
| In one eye
|
| Hemma här I drottens hall
| At home here in the Lord's hall
|
| Skålar vi för äring och fred
| We toast to honor and peace
|
| Ingen sorg bär vi mer
| We carry no grief anymore
|
| Till glädje och rus vi ger oss hän
| To the joy and intoxication we give ourselves
