Paroles et traduction SKÁLD - Víðförla

Víðförla

Nokkurum vetrum síðar,
Víðförla hann austr þangat
ór landi at leita sér.

Þeir Víðförla færi tvær vikur,
At þeir sáu ekki, nema þeir tendruðu kerti.
Var sem þeir reri í helli þann hálfan mánuð,
At saman luktust björgin yfir ánni.

Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.

Síðan fór Víðförla á brott ok allt þar til,
þeim sýndist sem hálft tungl stæði á jörðu.
Þar leggja þeir at landi ok ganga þar á land
Koma í skóg er stóð við drekabælit.

Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.
Þæir Foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu.

Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.
Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.
Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.
Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.

Skýtr Víðförla örinni í munn orminum,
Ok rann svá til hjartans,
At á einni svipstundu fell hann dauðr niðr.
Víðförla vann, vann drekann.

Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu,
Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Dou sunnarla a Særklandi.

Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu,
Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Dou sunnarla a Særklandi.

Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu,
Þæir foru drængila fiarri,

Dou sunnarla a Særklandi.
Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Ok austarla ærni gafu,
Þæir foru drængila fiarri,
Dou sunnarla a Særklandi.

Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.
Þar lyktum vér þessa sögu.

The Far-Traveler

After many winters,
The Far-Traveler he journeyed east
From his homeland, in search.

The Far-Traveler journeyed two weeks,
Seeing nothing, except when he lit his torch.
It was as if they had rowed in a cave for half a month,
For the mountains closed together over the river.

The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.

Then The Far-Traveler went away for himself, and then
And It seemed to them that a half moon was standing on the ground.
There they came ashore and went ashore,
And came to a forest that stood in front of the dragon's lair.

The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east.

Far-Traveler shoots the arrow into the mouth of the dragon,
And ran so to the heart,
That in a single moment it fell down dead.
Far-Traveler wins, wins over the dragon.

The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east,
The valiant men rowed far,
South to Saracen-land.

The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east,
The valiant men rowed far,
South to Saracen-land.

The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east,
The valiant men rowed far,

South to Saracen-land.
The valiant men rowed far,
And gave food to the eagles of the east,
The valiant men rowed far,
South to Saracen-land.
