meðan eg man kvøða
Um teir rÃku kongarnar
sum eg vil nú um røða
Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Hundings synir à randargný
teir skaðan gørdu har
Eitur var à 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
RÃvur upp eikikelvi stór
hann lemjir summar til heljar
Eystantil undri heyginum
ið dreingir eyka tal
Dimmur er hesin dapri dagur
niður à mold at fara
Har komm maður á vøllin fram
eingin ið hann kendi
SÃðan hatt á høvdi bar
og finskan boga à hendi
Har komm maður á vøllin fram
hann vá við eggjateini
Eyga hevði hann eitt à heysi
knept var brók at beini
Ormurin er skriðin av gullinum
tað man frættast vÃða
Sjúrður setist á Granar bak
hann býr seg til at rÃða
Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Grani bar gullið av heiði
The lyrics to Týr's song Regin Smiður tell the story of the hero Sjúrður and his trusty steed Grani as they set out to defeat the wicked Hunding dynasty. Sjúrður seeks vengeance for the murder of his father and travels to the land of the Hunding's, where he faces various trials and battles.
The opening lines of the song ask the listener to pay attention while the singer relays the story of the kings he wishes to speak of. The next few lines describe Grani's bravery as he carries precious cargo, a sack of gold, across the heath. Sjúrður then encounters the sons of Hunding who try to poison him, but he fights back and kills them. The song describes the dragon Fáfnir, who guards the gold that Sjúrður seeks, and the skilled blacksmith Regin who aids Sjúrður in his quest to defeat Fáfnir.
The lyrics of Regin Smiður are heavily inspired by Norse mythology and can be interpreted as an allegory for the battle between good and evil. In addition, the song showcases Týr's signature style of combining heavy metal with traditional elements of Faroese folk music.
