|
Defying the storm, the lash of the waves, |
|
Our Drakkars are advancing |
|
Fearless upon the raging seas we sail! |
|
Our Dragon prow is emerging |
|
From the mist of a winter's morning |
|
Or the dying gleam of day: |
|
Upon the fury of the ocean we ride |
|
With the wind caressing our hair |
|
And the brine biting into our eyes, |
|
The frost that invades |
|
The warmth of a heart... |
|
|
|
Defying the storm, the lash of the waves, |
|
Our Drakkars are advancing |
|
Fearless upon the raging seas we sail! |
|
The standard of the hammer |
|
Atop the mast we hoisted high |
|
A talisman of Mjolner |
|
Around our neck we hung: |
|
To invoke all Fates benign |
|
And offer sacrifice - |
|
To Njord, the sea-faring God, |
|
A mariner across the stars |
|
That through the night |
|
Us mortals guide... |
