01. Ritual

Vindum, vindum
Vef Darraðar,
Þanns ungr konungr
Átti fyrri.

Fram skulum ganga
Ok í folk vaða,
Þars vinir órir
Vápnum skipta.

Vindum, vindum
Vef Darraðar
Ok siklingi
Síðan fylgjum.

Þar séa bragna
Blóðgar randir
Gunnr ok Göndul,
Þærs grami fylgðu.

Vindum, vindum
Vef Darraðar,
Þars vé vaða
Vígra manna.

Látum eigi
Líf hans farask.




Eigu valkyrjur
Vals of kosti.

The next stanza mentions the Valkyries Gunnr and Göndul, who were believed to choose warriors to take to Valhalla after they died in battle. The final stanza emphasizes the importance of not letting the king's life end and not letting the Valkyries have any choice but to select him for Valhalla.

The lyrics are from the skaldic poem Darraðarljóð, also known as the Song of the Valkyries:

Vindum, vindum
vef Darraðar,
þann's ungr konungr
átti fyrri;
framm skulum ganga
ok í folk vaða,
þars vinir órir
vópnum skipta.

Vindum, vindum
vef Darraðar
ok siklingi
síðan fylgjum;
þar séa bragnar
blóðgar randir,
Gunnr ok Göndul
es grami fylgðu.

Vindum, vindum
vef Darraðar,
þars vé vaða
vígra manna;
lótum eigi
líf hans farask,
eigu valkyrjur
vals of kosti.
