Kvasir was killed |
|
And his blood turned into |
|
A mead giving wisdom to thee |
|
Sutton the giant |
|
He locked it away |
|
In Hnitbjork, he won't set it free |
|
Odin, for wisdom's sake |
|
Empty Odrornir to spit it all out |
|
Over Midgard as to make |
|
The song come alive, sung out loud |
|
Bolverk Bolverk |
|
Odin's trickery |
|
To lie with a giantess |
|
Three days in a row |
|
Bolverk Bolverk |
|
Giant snake and eagle |
|
To soar in the sky |
|
As wisdom you will glow |
|
In the middle of the mountain |
|
The mead guarded by |
|
Gunlod a giantess fair |
|
Odin she saw |
|
Disguised in a lie |
|
His manhood eager to dare |
|
Three days he did last |
|
And the mead he did drink |
|
Into an eagle he turned to fly |
|
The mead he did spit |
|
As to make Midgard think |
|
And the giantess he left to cry |
