Wardruna – Runaljod (English Translation) lyrics
Wealth cause dispute among friends;
The wolf lives in the forest
Slag come from bad iron;
Often runs the reindeer on frozen snow
Giant causes woman’s sorrow;
Few are cheerful from misfortune
River's mouth is the way of most journeys;
But the sheath is the one of swords
Riding, one says, is for horses the worst;
Regin forged the best sword
Ulcer is fatal for children;
Death makes man pale
Hail is the coldest of grain;
Herjan shaped the world in olden times
Need leaves you little choice;
The naked freeze in the frost
Ice we call the broad bridge;
The blind man must be led
A good year is a blessing for men;
I say that Frodi was generous
Sun is light of the land;
I bow before the holy
Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir;
Often the smith must blow
Birch is the limb greenest with leaves;
Loki brought success of deceit
Man is increase of soil;
Mighty is the hawk’s claw
Water is what falls from the mountain;
But of gold are the jewels
Yew is the greenest tree in winter;
It often singes when it burns
The wolf lives in the forest
Slag come from bad iron;
Often runs the reindeer on frozen snow
Giant causes woman’s sorrow;
Few are cheerful from misfortune
River's mouth is the way of most journeys;
But the sheath is the one of swords
Riding, one says, is for horses the worst;
Regin forged the best sword
Ulcer is fatal for children;
Death makes man pale
Hail is the coldest of grain;
Herjan shaped the world in olden times
Need leaves you little choice;
The naked freeze in the frost
Ice we call the broad bridge;
The blind man must be led
A good year is a blessing for men;
I say that Frodi was generous
Sun is light of the land;
I bow before the holy
Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir;
Often the smith must blow
Birch is the limb greenest with leaves;
Loki brought success of deceit
Man is increase of soil;
Mighty is the hawk’s claw
Water is what falls from the mountain;
But of gold are the jewels
Yew is the greenest tree in winter;
It often singes when it burns
