LYRICS:
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
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
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
