Regin Smidur
TYR Lyrics

Viljið tær nú lýða á
Do you want to listen now

meðan eg man kvøða
While I sing

Um teir ríku kongarnar
About the rich kings

sum eg vil nú um røða
That I want to speak of now

Grani bar gullið av heiði
Grani carried the gold from the moor

Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
He drew his sword in anger

Sjúrður vá á orminum
Sjúrður rode the serpent

Hundings synir í randargný
The sons of Hunding sailed in their ships

teir skaðan gørdu har
They did harm there

Eitur var í svørinum
Poison was in the blade

teir bóru móti mær
They brought it against me

Fávnir eitur ormurin
The serpent is called Fávnir

á Glitrarheiði liggur
He lies on Glitrarheiði

Regin er ein góður smiður
Regin is a good blacksmith

fáum er hann dyggur
Few are as loyal as he

Hann var sær á leikvøllum
He was skilled on the battleground

imillum manna herjar
Among the warriors of men

Rívur upp eikikelvi stór
He tears up a large oak staff

hann lemjir summar til heljar
He beats some to hell

Eystantil undri heyginum
In the east beneath the slopes

ið dreingir eyka tal
Where young men increase in number

Dimmur er hesin dapri dagur
This gloomy day is dark

niður í mold at fara
To go down to the earth

Har komm maður á vøllin fram
A man came forward to the field

eingin ið hann kendi
No one knew him

Síðan hatt á høvdi bar
He wore a hat on his head

og finskan boga í hendi
And a Finnish bow in his hand

hann vá við eggjateini
He wielded a sharp sword

Eyga hevði hann eitt í heysi
He had only one eye in the blaze

knept var brók at beini
His pants were tight at the bone

Ormurin er skriðin av gullinum
The serpent has slid off the gold

tað man frættast víða
It is known far and wide

Sjúrður setist á Granar bak
Sjúrður sat on Grani's back

hann býr seg til at ríða
He prepares to ride
