Lyrics and translation Danheim - Skylda

Skylda

Þat mælti mín móðir,
At mér skyldi kaupa

Fley ok fagrar árar,
Fara á brott með víkingum,

Standa yp í stafni,
Stira dýrum knerri,

Halda sváu til hadnar
Hoggva mann ok annan.

Responsibility

My mother told me
That I had to buy

Arrows and beautiful oars
And take off with the Vikings

I stood in the bow
Staring at the mighty longship

Steering my course towards the seas
Cutting down this man and the other.
