My mother told me
Someday I will buy
Galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My father told me
Someday I would die (die)
Fighting side by side
With honor and with pride
Stand up holding the ground
Noble sword I wield (and shields)
Ready shields for the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
Drømte mig en drøm i nat
Om silke ok ærlik pæl
I dreamed a dream last night
Of silk and fair furs
Of a pillow so deep and soft
Peace with no disturbance
My father told me
Someday I would die
Fighting side by side
With honor and with pride
Stand up holding the ground
Noble sword I wield (and shields)
Ready shields for the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer (steady)
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
