Lyrics of Álvur Kongur - Týr

Álvur Kongur (original)

Gevið ljóð og lýðið
Meðan eg gangi í dans
Tað vóru ikki frægari saman
Enn Álvur og rekkar hans
Draga teir sínar sjódrekar
Oman úr tøttum neysti
Tá stóð fast í knarrar hæli
Leyp so fram og goysti
Gýltan spora við mín fót eg spenni
So temji eg mínar gangarar
Tann góða lati eg renna
Tað var mín hin fyrsti dreymur
Tá ið eg heiman sigldi
Logi leikar á øllum teim
Ið Álvi kongi fylgdu
Tað var mín hin annar dreymur
Tá ið eg heima var
Allir stoyttust á drekans borð
Og duttu so niður í kav
Gýltan spora við mín fót eg spenni
So temji eg mínar gangarar
Tann góða lati eg renna
Tólv merkur í reyðargulli
Tað skal vera títt
Vilt tú, Óðin, æsa kongur
Loysa høvur mítt?
Tað var reysti Óðin kongur
Stoyttist í jørðina niður
Tær gevi eg nú, Rókurin svarti
Lív og fagran sigur
Gýltan spora við mín fót eg spenni
So temji eg mínar gangarar
Tann góða lati eg renna
Hark ye
While I go to dance
None were more famed
Than Alvur and his men
They pulled their dragon ships
Down from a windtight boathouse
First it was stuck in the stake
But then it belched forth
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I tame my steeds
I let the good one run
It was my first dream
When I sailed from home
The fire blazed on all those
Who followed Alvur king
It was my second dream
When I was home
All tumbled over the dragon’s board
And fell into the deep
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I tame my steeds
I let the good one run
Twelve merkur of red gold
Will be yours
If you, Odin king
Will save my life
It was strong Odin king
He plunged into the ground
Now I give you, Rokur the Black
Life and fair victory
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I tame my steeds
I let the good one run

(translation)

Give a poem and the people
While I'm dancing
They were no more famous together
Still Álvur and his racks
Pull their tea dragons
Oman out of thin air
His toe was stuck in a crunchy shelter
Leyp so forward and goysti
Gilt spur at my foot I transform
So I tame my walkers
I let the good tooth slide
That was my first dream
Then I sailed away from home
Flame plays on all teams
King Álvi followed
That was my second dream
When I was at home
Everyone stood on the dragon's table
And then you fell into a cave
Gilt spur at my foot I transform
So I tame my walkers
I let the good tooth slide
Twelve marks in red gold
It should be frequent
Do you want to, Odin, agitated king?
Loose my hoof?
King Odin was rebuilt
Pushed into the ground down
I give clear now, Rókurin svarti
Life and a beautiful victory
Gilt spur at my foot I transform
So I tame my walkers
I let the good tooth slide
Hark ye
While I go to dance
None were more famed
Than Alvur and his men
They pulled their dragon ships
Down from a windtight boathouse
First it was stuck in the stake
But then it belched forth
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I still tame me
I let the good one run
It was my first dream
When I sailed from home
The fire blazed on all those
Who followed Alvur king
It was my second dream
When I was home
All tumbled over the dragon’s board
And fell into the deep
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I still tame me
I let the good one run
Twelve marks of red gold
Will be yours
If you, Odin king
Will save my life
It was strong Odin king
He plunged into the ground
Now I give you, Rokur the Black
Life and fair victory
I thrust a golden spur with my foot
And I still tame me
I let the good one run
