Paroles et traduction Faun - Egil Saga

Egil Saga

Hefir hon haft langan vanmátt,
Ok þat var kröm mikil;
Fékk hon enga nótt svefn ok var
Sem hamstoli væri.

Ristnar hafa verið rúnar, ok er sá einn bóndason
Heðan skammt í brott, er þat gerdi,
Ok er síðan miklu
Verr en áðr.

Egil reist rúnar ok lagði undir hægendit
Í hvíluna, þar er hon hvíldi;
Henni þótti sem hon vaknaði ór svefni ok sagði
At hon var þá heil.

Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,
Nema ráða vel kunni,
þat verðr mörgum manni,
Es of myrkvan staf villisk;
Sák á telgðu talkni
Tíu launstafi ristna,
þat hefr lauka lindi
Langs ofrtrega fengit.

Egill reist rúnar ok lagði undir hægindið
í hvíluna, þar er hún hvíldi.
Henni þótti sem hún vaknaði úr svefni
Ok sagði, at hún var þá heil

Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,
Nema ráða vel kunni,
þat verðr mörgum manni,
Es of myrkvan staf villisk;
Sák á telgðu talkni
Tíu launstafi ristna,
þat hefr lauka lindi
Langs ofrtrega fengit.

Egil's Saga

You have been experiencing weakness for a long time,
And it was a great burden;
You got no sleep at night and were
Like a frenzied beast.

Runes have been carved, and there is one farmer's son
A short distance from here, who did it,
And since then it has been much
Worse than before.

Egil carved runes and placed them under the pillow
In the bed where you rested;
It seemed to you as if you woke from sleep and said
That you were then healed.

A man should not carve runes,
Unless he knows how to interpret them well,
That happens to many a man,
That a dark stave leads him astray;
I saw on a polished piece of wood
Ten secret staves carved,
That has relieved your limbs
Of long suffering.

Egil carved runes and placed them under the pillow
In the bed where you rested.
It seemed to you as if you woke from sleep
And said, that you were then healed

A man should not carve runes,
Unless he knows how to interpret them well,
That happens to many a man,
That a dark stave leads him astray;
I saw on a polished piece of wood
Ten secret staves carved,
That has relieved your limbs
Of long suffering.
