Ein sat hon uti - Wardruna

Veit hon Heimdallar

hljóð um fólgit

undir heiðvönum

helgum baðmi,

á sér hon ausask

aurgum forsi

af veði Valföðrs.

Vituð ér enn eða hvat?

Ein sat hon úti,

þá er inn aldni kom

yggjungr ása

ok í augu leit.

Hvers fregnið mik?

Hví freistið mín?

Alt veit ek, Óðinn,

hvar þú auga falt,

í inum mœra

Mímis brunni.

Drekkr mjöð Mímir

morgin hverjan

af veði Valföðrs.

Vituð ér enn eða hvat?

She knows that Heimdall’s hearing is hidden

Under the bright-grown, sacred tree;

She sees, flowing down, the loam-filled flood

From Father of the Slain’s pledge — do you want

To know more: and what?

Alone she sat outside, when the old man came

The Terrible One of the Æsir and he looked in

Her eyes:

'Why do you question me?

Why do you test me?

I know all about it, Odin, where you hid your eye

In Mimir’s famous well.'

Mimir drinks mead every morning

From Father of the Slain’s pledge — do you want

To know more: and what?

Veit hon Heimdallar

hljóð um fólgit

undir heiðvönum

helgum baðmi,

á sér hon ausask

augum forsi

af veði Valföðrs.

Vituð ér enn eða hvat?

Ein zat hon úti,

þá er inn aldni kom

yggjungr ása

oke augustus leit.

Hvers fregnið mik?

Hví freistið min?

Alt veit ek, Óðinn,

hvar þú auga falt,

ik inum mœra

Mimis brunni.

Drekkr mjöð Mímir

morgin hverjan

af veði Valföðrs.

Vituð ér enn eða hvat?

Ze weet dat Heimdalls gehoor verborgen is

Onder de helder gegroeide, heilige boom;

Ze ziet, naar beneden stromend, de met leem gevulde vloed

Van de belofte van de vader van de gesneuvelde — wil je?

Meer weten: en wat?

Alleen zat ze buiten, toen de oude man kwam

De Verschrikkelijke van de Aesir en hij keek naar binnen

Haar ogen:

'Waarom ondervraag je me?

Waarom test je me?

Ik weet er alles van, Odin, waar je je oog verstopte

In de beroemde bron van Mimir.'

Mimir drinkt elke ochtend mede

Van de belofte van de vader van de gesneuvelde — wil je?

Meer weten: en wat?
