Thorsteins Kvæði - Týr

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 báðum so við hvørju tegna

Rennur og rennur foli mín

Grønari grund og vín bar reyða lund

Stíg at dansa stund

Kátur leikar foli mín

Á grønari grund

People want to sing and poems give me a maiden, I break with trickery

The king ruled over Nøríki, he had two sons

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

He has two sons, I can name both

Magnus and he Torstein jall, they know how to call boys

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

Jallurin gongur for the king in and victory from him

Now Torstein, your son, is signed from London

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

He wants to leave the kingdom, no one will forbid him

He does not know how to escape, he himself can prove it

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

I promised both father and mother that I lay in the cradle

I should not attack a hot fire, nor a sharp steel

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

The wolf lies in a winter mill, in greater need

So a tooth man, standing in a fortress, almost tolerates death

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

The mistress was both supported and led, into her father's kingdom

The light shone from the axillary branch, which overshadowed the fire of majesty

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil

Now the hooded poem is over, I remember playing well

Torstein took over both countries, so with each drawing

My stud is running and running

Greener ground and wine bore a calm mood

Step up to dance for a while

Cheerful play my stud

On greener soil
