| Ymer (original) | Ymer (translation) |
|---|---|
| I åldrarnes morgon | In the morning of the ages |
| Då Ymer levde | When Ymer was alive |
| Var ej sand, ej vatten | Be not sand, not water |
| Ej svala vågor | Not cool waves |
| Jorden ej fanns | The earth did not exist |
| Ej avanhimlen | Not heaven |
| Blott ginnungasvalget | Just ginnungasvalget |
| Men intet gräs | But no grass |
