Jól kvæði þetta,

Var svá fróðr um skapaðr,

Solar Song

This song I sing for the yule,
That I have taught you,
You shall sing it for the living.
The Solar Song, which many
Will remember down the many ages.

In a dream they sang it,
But you saw what was real.
No person
Was ever endowed with such knowledge,
As he who first heard the tale of the Solar Song.

Here we part,
And we will meet again
At the yule feast, at the yule feast.
May the Solar Song give peace to the dead,
And happiness to the living.

In a dream they sang it,
But you saw what was real.
No person
Was ever endowed with such knowledge,
As he who first heard the tale of the Solar Song.

As he who first heard the tale of the Solar Song.
