Kven skal synge meg?
I daudsvevna slynge meg
Når eg på helvegen går
Og dei spora eg trår
Er kalde så kalde
Eg songane søkte
Eg songane sende
Då den djupaste brunni
Gav meg dråpar så ramme
Av Valfaders pant
Alt veit eg Odin
Kvar du auge løynde
Kven skal synge meg
I daudsvevna slynge meg
Når eg på helvegen går
Og dei spora eg trår
Er kalde så kalde
Årle ell i dagars hell
Enn veit ravnen om eg fell
Når du ved helgrindi står
Og når laus deg må rive
Skal eg fylgje deg
Yver gjallarbrui med min song
Du blir løyst frå banda som bind deg
Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg
Deyr fé
Deyja frændr
Deyr sjalfr it sama
En orðstírr
Deyr aldregi
Hveim er sér góðan getr
Deyr fé
Deyja frændr
Deyr sjalfr it sama
Ek veit einn
At aldrei deyr
Dómr um dauðan hvern
