Torsteins kvæði

Vilja tit lýða og ljóð geva mær, eg bróti av bragdartátti
Kongur ráddi for Nøríki, hann tógva synir átti

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

átt hevur hann sær tógva synir, báðar kann eg væl nevna
Magnus og hann Torstein jall, teir kunna væl
Dreingjum stevna

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Jallurin gongur for kongin inn og sigur honum frá
Nú er Torstein, sonur tín, kvittaður londum frá

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Um hann vil av ríkinum fara, eingin skal honum banna
Hann kann ei síni forløg flý, sjálvur má hann tað sanna

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Tað lovaðI eg bæðI faðir og móðir, tá eg í vøggu lá
Eg skyldi ei ræðast tann heita eld,
Ei heldur tað hvassa stál

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Vargurin liggur í vetrarmjøll, staddur í stórari neyð
So er tann maður, í víggi stendur, næstan tolir deyð

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Frúgvin var bæðI studd og leidd, inn í sín faðirs veldi
Ljómin skein av akslagrein, tað skyggir av tignareldi

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Nú er hetta kvæðIð endað, tað man góðum gegna
Torstein tók við ríkjunum baðum so við hvøru tegna

Rennur og rennur foli mín
Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund
Stíg at dansa stund
Kátur leikar foli mín
á grønari grund

Torstein's Poem

My love, will you listen and give me a poem? I will break from the poetic form
The king ruled over Norway, he had two valiant sons

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

he had two valiant sons, both of whom I can name
Magnus and the Earl Torstein, they know well
How to summon young warriors

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

The Earl stepped in before the king and told him
Now Torstein, your son, has been banished from the land

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

If he wishes to leave the kingdom, none shall forbid him
He cannot escape his fate, he must prove it himself

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

I promised both my father and mother, when I lay in my cradle
I should not fear the blazing fire,
Nor the sharp steel

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

The wolf lies in winter snow, placed in great need
So is the man, who stands in battle, almost facing death

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

The lady was both supported and led, into her father's realm
Light shone from the ears of corn, it gleamed with noble fire

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily

Now this poem is ended, may it please the good
Torstein took over both kingdoms, so with each drawing

Flow and flow my beloved
A greener ground and wine did bear the red grove
Time to dance a while
My love, on yonder green ground
dances merrily
