They came from the west | |
throught the storm across the sea | |
one thousand men armed | |
with their swords and shields | |
Somewere there was a strange land their never thought, | |
it would be so far from home | |
They sailed with their ships | |
across the rivers and lakes | |
with courage and pride | |
like proud sons of god Odin | |
The were varangians from the west - they were vikings, | |
the warriors of town holmgard | |
Then two tribes rebelled | |
against their conquerors | |
driving 'em overseas | |
back into their land | |
After conflicts the tries invited 'em back, | |
to rule 'em, to bring order and peace | |
They roamed the rivers | |
enganging in trade | |
merchants who raided | |
and colonized new lands | |
They served as the bodyguards of the emperor, | |
the warriors of town miklagard | |
Hej skål hej | |
hej skål hej | |
nu skålar vi för dig, hej hej | |
They sailed with their ships | |

Hej skål hej | |
