Viljið tær nú lýða á

meðan eg man kvøða

Um teir ríku kongarnar

sum eg vil nú um røða



Grani bar gullið av heiði

Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði

Sjúrður vá á orminum

Grani bar gullið av heiði



Hundings synir í randargný

teir skaðan gørdu har

Eitur var í svørinum

teir bóru móti mær



Fávnir eitur ormurin

á Glitrarheiði liggur

Regin er ein góður smiður

fáum er hann dyggur



Hann var sær á leikvøllum

imillum manna herjar

Rívur upp eikikelvi stór

hann lemjir summar til heljar



Eystantil undri heyginum

ið dreingir eyka tal

Dimmur er hesin dapri dagur

niður í mold at fara



Har komm maður á vøllin fram

eingin ið hann kendi

Síðan hatt á høvdi bar

og finskan boga í hendi



Har komm maður á vøllin fram

hann vá við eggjateini

Eyga hevði hann eitt í heysi

knept var brók at beini



Ormurin er skriðin av gullinum

tað man frættast víða

Sjúrður setist á Granar bak

hann býr seg til at ríða



Grani bar gullið av heiði

Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði

Sjúrður vá á orminum

Grani bar gullið av heiði



[Translation:]



Regin Blacksmith



Will you now listen

whilst I will sing.

About the rich kings

that I will now speak of



Greyfell carried the gold from the heath

He swung his sword in wrath

Sigfried defeated the dragon

Greyfell carried the gold from the heath



Hundings sons at war

they did damage there

Poison was in the sword

they carried against me



Fafnir is the name of the dragon

that lies on the Glittering Heath

Regin is a good blacksmith

to few is he faithfull



He was on fields of play

rages amongst men

Tears up large oak trunks

he maims some to Hel



On the easten side under the mound

where heroes grow in numbers

Dark is this sad day

down in the mould to go



A man stepped forward upon the field

Noone knew him

He had a wide hat on his head

and a Finnish bow in his hand



A man stepped forward upon the field

raging with his sword

He had one eye

and his trouser legs were buttoned



The dragon has slithered of the gold

it is rumoured widely

Sigfried seats himself on Greyfells back

he prepares himself to ride



Greyfell carried the gold from the heath

He swung his sword in wrath

Sigfried defeated the dragon

Greyfell carried the gold from the heath
