Hrafnsmál - The Words of the Raven

Kunna hugðak þik konung, þanns á Kvinnum býr
Hersin Norðmanna; djúpum ræðr kjólum
Roðnum rǫndum ok rauðum skjǫldum
Tjǫrgum ôrum ok tjǫldum drifnum

Hlaðnir vôru hǫlða ok hvítra skjalda
Vigra vestrœnna ok valskra sverða
Grenjuðu berserkir; guðr vas á sinnum
Emjuðu ulfheðnar ok ísǫrn dúðu

Þá eru þeir reifir, es vitu rómu væni
ǫrvir upp at hlaupa ok árar at sveigja
Hǫmlur at slíta en hái at brjóta
Ríkuliga hygg ek þá vǫrru þeysa at vísa ráði

At berserkja reiðu vil ek þik spyrja, bergir hræsævar
Hversu es fengit, þeim es í folk vaða vígdjǫrfum verum?

Grenjuðu berserkir; guðr vas á sinnum
Emjuðu ulfheðnar ok ísǫrn dúðu

Hǫmlur at slíta en hái at brjóta
Ríkuliga hygg ek þá vǫrru þeysa at vísa ráði

Hrafnsmál - The Words of the Raven

I know you are a king, whose dwelling is on the Kvinnum
The army of the Northmen; deep are the robes you wear
With crimson borders and red shields
The strong swords and the tents you drive

Loaded were the helms and the white shields
Of the western wars and the battle swords
The fierce berserkers; gods were upon them
The strong wolf-warriors and the ice-iron they bore

Then they are torn, who know the beauty of the roar
The strong ones to leap up and to bend the oars
To tear the restraints and to break the high
I think richly of them, to show their will to these wild waves

To the fury of the berserker I will ask you, the mountain of the ravenous beasts
How is it won, by those who walk in the people, the consecrated wild things?

The fierce berserkers; gods were upon them
The strong wolf-warriors and the ice-iron they bore

To tear the restraints and to break the high
I think richly of them, to show their will to these wild waves
