Lyrics of Ragnars Kvæði - Týr

Ragnars Kvæði (original)

Hvørki fekk hann Ragnar kongur
Frið um nátt rógv ella dag
Fyrr enn hann hevði knørrin smíða
Suður yvir hav
Títtir við streingjum berjast dreingir
Syngur í oddameingi
Klovna taka tvinni skjøldur
Ørnin dregur á veingir
Deyðir detta dreingir niður á svørðin
Frúgv steig inn um snekkjunnar bor
Tað mundi ongan vara
Orm bar hon í eyga á sær
Dóttir Sjúrðar snara
Sjúrður frægi var faðir hennar
Hann stóð í ormsins blóði
Ásla vard hon kallað sjálv
Og Brynhild var hennara móðir
Ragnar king got neither
Peace at night or day
Until he had built the ship
South across the sea
Fast on their strings, heroes fight
The vanguard sings
Double shields split
The eagle draws its wings
Heroes fall dead down on the field
A lady stepped on the ship’s board
Nobody seemed to notice
She bore a worm in her eye
Daughter of Sigurd the Fast
Sigurd the Fast was her father
He stood in the blood of the dragon
Asla was her name
And Brynhild was her mother

(translation)

He did not get King Ragnar
Peace at night slandered otherwise day
Earlier he had made the knots
South of the ocean
Strings with strings fight boys
Sings in the head
Clowns take two shields
The eagle pulls on the wings
Dead boys fall down on the swords
Frúgv stepped in through the yacht's drill
That would be a bad product
She carried a snake in the eye of a wound
Daughter of Sjúrður snara
The infamous Sjúrður was her father
He was standing in the blood of the serpent
She was called Ásla herself
And Brynhild was her mother
Ragnar king got neither
Peace at night or day
Until he had built the ship
South across the sea
Fast on their strings, heroes fight
The vanguard sings
Double shields split
The eagle draws its wings
Heroes fall dead down on the field
A lady stepped on the ship’s board
Nobody seemed to notice
She bore a worm in her eye
Daughter of Sigurd the Fast
Sigurd the Fast was her father
He stood in the blood of the dragon
Asla was her name
And Brynhild was her mother
