Lyrics;
Norwegian———————--English translation
Hvem skal synge meg—————Who shall sing me
i daudsvevna slynge meg——-into the death-sleep sling me
når eg på Helvegen går—When I walk on the Path of Death
og dei spora eg trår er kalda, så kalda—-and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold

Eg songane søkte——-I sought the songs
Eg songane sende——————I sent the songs
då den djupaste brunni——when the deepest well
gav meg dråper så ramme—--gave me the drops so touched
av Valfaders pant——-of Death-fathers wager

Alt veit eg, Odin———--I know it all, Odin
var du gjømde ditt auge———where you hid your eye

Hvem skal synge meg——————Who shall sing me
i daudsvevna slynge meg———-into the death-sleep sling me
når eg på Helvegen går——When I walk on the Path of Death
og dei spora eg trår er kalda, så kalda—-and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold

Årle ell i dagars hell———-early in the days end
enn veit ravnen om eg fell———--still the raven knows if I fall

Når du ved Helgrindi står ———When you stand by the Gate of Death
og når du laus deg må riva——-And you have to tear free
skal eg fylgje deg————--I shall follow you
over Gjallarbrua med min song——--across the Resounding Bridge with my song

Du blir løyst frå banda som bind deg!——--You will be free from the bonds that bind you!
Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg!——--You are free from the bonds that bound that you!

*
Quote from Håvamål -- The High Ones Speech, Poetic Edda

Døyr fe, døyr frender—————-Cattle die, kinsmen die
Døyr sjølv det sama————--You yourself will also die
men ordet om deg aldreg døyr———but the word about you will never die
vinn du et gjetord gjevt————--if you win a good reputation
Døyr fe, døyr frender ————--Cattle die, kinsmen die
Døyr sjølv det sama—————-You yourself will also die
Eg veit et som aldreg døyr———I know one that never dies
dom om daudan kvar———-the reputation of those who died
