Lyrics My Mother Told Me - Saltatio Mortis

My Mother Told Me

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Sail to distant shores
Þat mælti mín móðir
At mér skyldi kaupa
Fley ok fagrar árar
Fara á brott með víkingum
Standa upp í stafni
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Hǫggva mann ok annan
Hǫggva mann ok annan
My mother told me
Someday I would buy'
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy'
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
I sail to distant shores
Þél höggr stórt fyr stáli
Stafnkvígs á veg jafnan
Út með éla meitli
Andærr jötunn vandar
En svalbúinn selju
Sverfr eirar vanr þeiri
Gestils ölpt með gustum
Gandr of stál fyr brandi
My mother told me
Someday I would buy'
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy'
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
I sail to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy'
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Sail to distant shores
