Paroles et traduction en anglais Skálmöld - Gleipnir

Gleipnir

Undan Loka Fenrir fæddist
Fullur hroka víst var sagt.
Er var þoka þá hann fæddist
þungbært ok á heiminn lagt.

Nú var gaumur að því gefinn
Greri aumur hvolpur fljótt.
Tíminn naumur, enginn efinn
á hann tauminn þyrfti skjótt.

Fyrrstan Læðing fengu goðin
Fenri þræði komu á.
Úlfur skæður, ljótur, loðinn
Leikinn bræði sleit hann þá.

Þegar Drómi Fenri festi
Falskan dóm þá úlfur hlaut.
Því með klóm og þrumubresti
þennan fróma fjötur braut.

Kattarins dynur, konunnar skegg,
Kynngi mína yfir legg.
Bjarnarins sinar, bjargsins rætur
Bíðum nú í skjóli nætur.
Fuglsins hráki, fisksins andi
Fyrir dverg er hægur vandi.
Mánuð gekk um margar götur
Mér að launum varð sá fjötur.

Fjöturinn er fjötrum grennri
Fágæt, göldrótt dvergasmíð.
Í Lyngva áður lögðu Fenri
Laus hann veldur orrahríð.

Hef í mínum höndum Gleipni
Horfi mót glyrnum tveim.
Treysti á Óðin, Tý og Sleipni
Tak mig þar og aftur heim.

Sá fjötur er öðrum fjötrum grennri
Fágæt og göldrótt dvergasmíð.
Í Lyngva þeir áður lögðu Fenri
Laus hann nú veldur orrahríð.
Hef ég í minum höndum Gleipni
Horfi á móti glyrnum tveim.
Treysti á Óðin, Tý og Sleipni
Takið mig þar og aftur heim.

Gleipnir

Out of Loki Fenrir was born
Surely full of arrogance it was said.
When he was born fog was there
Heavy burden and brought into the world.

Now attention was paid to it
Grim and fierce the wolf cub quickly.
Time is precious, no one doubts it
He would need the reins quickly.

The Aesir first got Læding
Three Fenrir shackles they came with.
Wolf fierce, grim, and hairy
Broke the playful shackles then.

When they bound Fenrir in Drómi
False judgment then the wolf got.
For with claws and crushing chest
This noble fetter he broke.

The roar of the cat, the beard of the woman,
My kinship over my leg.
The sinews of the bear, the roots of the mountain
We wait now in the shelter of the night.
The croak of the bird, the breath of the fish
For the dwarf a slow task.
Months went by on many roads
This fetter became my secret.

The fetter is stronger than other fetters
Rare, magical dwarven creation.
Fenrir was laid on Lyngvi before
Loose he caused terrible storms.

I hold Gleipnir in my hands
Look towards the two swords.
Trust Odin, Tyr, and Sleipnir
Take me there and back home.

This fetter is stronger than other fetters
Rare, magical and dwarven made.
They laid Fenrir on Lyngvi before
Loose now he causes terrible storms.
I hold Gleipnir in my hands
Look towards the two swords.
Trust Odin, Tyr, and Sleipnir
Take me there and back home.
