Viking |
| Looking out forward over the prow of our long ship |
| Pulling our oars and listening to the foam; |
| Helmets and sheepskins salt-damp in the sea-mist: |
| We’re going home |
| Aslak of Langadale, Einar Thorgeirsson |
| Olaf the White and Sigurd the Powerful… |
| Looking for constellations above the horizon |
| West wind cutting sharper than our blades; |
| Smiling forever into an endless sunrise |
| We’re flying on the waves |
| Thorfin Karlsefny, Aud the Deep-Minded |
| Snorri Thorbrandsson, Thorstein the Black… |
| Out of dark Vinland, with grey waves racing before us — |
| We want no rest |
| Back to the homeland, Iceland, sleeping in winter — |
| Back from the West |
| Five years we roam; |
| Now we’re going home |
