Paroles et traduction Faun - Odin

Odin

In eisiger Vorzeit hast du einst gewacht
Hast Gungnir geworfen, warst Speer in der Schlacht
Zogst durch die Neun Welten als Wandrer bei Nacht
Hast uns Mimirs heiligen Brunnen wieder gebracht

Neun Tage hingst du
In Yggrasils Zweigen
Neun lange Nächte
Für 16 magische Zeichen
Magische Zeichen um den Tod zu beschwören
Um Kranke zu heilen und Feinde zu stören
Um Flammen zu halten, die Schwerter zu lenken
Um Geister zu fragen und die Speere zu senken
Neun Tage hingst du
In Yggrasils Zweigen
Neun lange Nächte
Für 16 magische Zeichen
Veit ek, at ek hekk
Vindga meiði á
Nætr allar níu
Geiri undaðr
Ok gefinn Óðni
Sjalfr sjalfum mér
á þeim meiði
Er manngi veit
Hvers af rótum renn

Við hleifi mik sældu
Né við hornigi;
Nýsta ek niðr
Nam ek upp rúnar
æpandi nam
æpandi nam
Fell ek aftr þaðan

Veistu, hvé rísta skal?
Veistu, hvé ráða skal?
Veistu, hvé fáa skal?
Veistu, hvé freista skal?
Veistu, hvé biðja skal?
Veistu, hvé blóta skal?
Veistu, hvé senda skal?
Veistu, hvé sóa skal?
Neun Tage hingst du
In Yggrasils Zweigen
Neun lange Nächte
Für 16 magische Zeichen

Odin

In icy days of yore, thou didst keep watch
Thou didst hurl Gungnir, a spear in battle
Thou didst wander through the Nine Worlds as a wanderer in the night
Thou didst bring us Mimir's holy well again

Nine days thou hungst
On Yggdrasil's branches
Nine long nights
For 16 magical signs
Magical signs to invoke death
To heal the sick and confound the enemy
To hold the flames, to guide the swords
To question the spirits and lower the spears
Nine days thou hungst
On Yggdrasil's branches
Nine long nights
For 16 magical signs
Veit ek, at ek hekk
Vindga meiði á
Nætr allar níu
Geiri undaðr
Ok gefinn Óðni
Sjalfr sjalfum mér
á þeim meiði
Er manngi veit
Hvers af rótum renn

With bread they fed me not
Nor with a drinking horn;
Down I looked
I took up the runes
Screaming I took them
Screaming I took them
Thence I fell back

Knowest thou how to carve?
Knowest thou how to interpret?
Knowest thou how to receive?
Knowest thou how to test?
Knowest thou how to invoke?
Knowest thou how to sacrifice?
Knowest thou how to send forth?
Knowest thou how to pour out?
Nine days thou hungst
On Yggdrasil's branches
Nine long nights
For 16 magical signs
