alvur kongur

gevid ljod og lydid

medan eg gangi i dans

tad voru ikki fraegari saman

enn alvur og rekkar hans

draga teir sinar sjodrekar

oman ur tottum neysti

ta stod fast i knarrar haeli

leyp so fram og goysti

gyltan spora vid min fot eg spenni

so temji eg minar gangarar

tann goda lati eg renna

tad var min hin fyrsti dreymur

ta id eg heiman sigldi

logi leikar a ollum teim

id alvi kongi fylgdu

tad var min hin annar dreymur

ta id eg heima var

allir stoyttust a drekans bord

og duttu so nidur i kav

gyltan spora vid min fot eg spenni

so temji eg minar gangarar

tann goda lati eg renna

tolv merkur i reydargulli

tad skal vera titt

vilt tu

odin

aesa kongur

loysa hovur mitt?

tad var reysti odin kongur

stoyttist i jordina nidur

taer gevi eg nu

rokurin svarti

liv og fagran sigur

gyltan spora vid min fot eg spenni

so temji eg minar gangarar

tann goda lati eg renna

hark ye

while i go to dance

none were more famed

than alvur and his men

they pulled their dragon ships

down from a windtight boathouse

first it was stuck in the stake

but then it belched forth

i thrust a golden spur with my foot

and i tame my steeds

i let the good one run

it was my first dream

when i sailed from home

the fire blazed on all those

who followed alvur king

it was my second dream

when i was home

all tumbled over the dragon's board

and fell into the deep

i thrust a golden spur with my foot

and i tame my steeds

i let the good one run

twelve merkur of red gold

will be yours

if you

odin king

will save my life

it was strong odin king

he plunged into the ground

now i give you

rokur the black

life and fair victory

i thrust a golden spur with my foot

and i tame my steeds

i let the good one run
