My Mother Told Me

My mother told me Someday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores Sail to distant shores Þat mælti mín móðir At mér skyldi kaupa Fley ok fagrar árar Fara á brott með víkingum Standa upp í stafni Stýra dýrum knerri Halda svá til hafnar Hǫggva mann ok annan Hǫggva mann ok annan My mother told me Someday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores My mother told me Someday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores I sail to distant shores Þél höggr stórt fyr stáli Stafnkvígs á veg jafnan Út með éla meitli Andærr jötunn vandar En svalbúinn selju Sverfr eirar vanr þeiri Gestils ölpt með gustum Gandr of stál fyr brandi Gandr of stál fyr brandi My mother told me Someday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores My mother told me Someday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores I sail to distant shores My mother told me Somеday I would buy A galley with good oars Sail to distant shores Sail to distant shores
