Sowelu

Skipa skøldur
Skinandi røðull
Isar aldrtregi
Hverfandi hvel

Skoll heitir ulfur
Fagrakvel fylgjer
Drøstlar draga
Skinanda goði

Svalinn heitir
Stend fyri sólo
Brim og bjarg brenna
Fell hann ifrá

Á skildi kvað ristna
Eyra Árvakr
Hófi Allsvinns
Hveli sem hvervar

Tveimar ek Sowelu ristan
Tveimar ek Sowelu fahido
Tveimar ek Sowelu galan

Sólin málar hæð og hól
Hvamma, skálar, bala
Ljósum strjálar leiti og ból
Lyftir sál af dvala

Ship's shields
Shining halo
Ice's sorrow
Whirling wheel

Sköll is the name of the wolf
Who follows the cart
Horses drag
A shining god

Svalinn is the name of
What stands before the sun
Cliffs and surf, burn
When it falls

Upon a shield, carved
Árvakr's ear
Alsviðr's hoof
The wheel that whirls

I carved two Sowelo
I painted two Sowelo
I chanted two Sowelo

The sun paints hills and hillocks
Hollows, halls, swords
Hills and dwellings scatter light
Lifting the soul from torpor
