Eg for ut i strid

Då dei framande kom

Eg sloss for min heim og min buskap

Eg kjempa dei ned

Med mitt spjut og min boge

Så dei heime kunne eta og sova

Eg drakk og eg skråla

Eg lo og eg skrøyt

Av mine sigrar, mitt mot og min styrke

Eg fortalde om gullet eg fann

Hjå dei eg slakta ned for fote

Eg vakna brått

Ein kald og mørk morgon

Med buskapen daud og trellane rømde

All mjøden var drukken og venene reist

Då la eg i veg til lovande land

For atter å vende heim med aere

Alle som sto i vegen for meg

Skulle kjenne min styrke og vreide

Ved ein flod sto ein gammal og støl mann

Han vokta ein båt som eg trong

Eg skulle hogge han ned

Men sverdet brast og

Den gamle sto der og flirte

"Fattige tåpe, som aldri har skjøna

At ein krigar skal kjempe mot krigar

Aldri du vinn visst du berre ser fram

Og ikkje inn"

Med eit var den gamle vekk

Og vinden tok med seg båten

Ved bredda sto eg og skua

Men nådde ikkje den andre sida

Då starta kampen mot krigaren

Eg alltid trudde eg kjente

[English translation:]

[WARRIOR UNKNOWN]

I went into battle

When the strangers came

I fought for my home and my herd

I struck them down

With my spear and bow

So that those at home could sleep and eat

I drank and yelled

I laughed and bragged

Of my victories, my courage and my strength

I told of the gold I found

At those I had slain before me

Suddenly I awoke

A cold and dark morning

With a dead herd and slaves escaped

All mead and all my friends were gone

That was when I went away to promising land

For once again to return with honour

Everyone that crossed my path

Was to feel my strength and wrath

By a flood stood an old and tired man

He guarded a boat which I needed

I charged to cut him down

But the sword broke

And the old one stood there grinning

"Poor fool, who never had seen

That a warrior shall fight against warrior

You'll never win if you're only looking ahead

And never inwards"

Suddenly the old one was gone

And the wind carried away the boat

By the shore I stood looking

But could not reach the other side

That's when the battle begun

Against the warrior I always thought I knew
