Skald - Wardruna

Troll kalla mik

tungl sjötrungnis,

auðsug jötuns,

élsólar böl,

vilsinn völu,

vörð náfjarðar,

hvélsvelg himins —

hvat er troll nema þat?

Sköld kalla mik:

skipsmið Viðurs,

Gauts gjafrötuð,

grepp óhneppan,

Yggs ölbera,

óðs skap-Móða,

hagsmið bragar.

Hvat er skald nema þat?

Hvat er skald nema þat?

Moon-loony of Hrugnir

Sucker of giant’s gold

Slayer of the storm-sun

Woe-worker of the seeress

Warden of death-fjord

Swallower of the sky-wheel

What’s a Troll if not that?

Skald they call me:

The ship-smith of Odin

Recipient of Gautr’s gift

Profligate poet

Ygg’s ale-bearer

The mind-Moði of poetry

Skilled smith of verse

What’s a Skald if not that?
