Homeland we're leaving, we are retrieving Our right to stand alone, we cannot stay here Fear not what must be, we must cross the sea On our own Standing alone Always we got by on our own Under stormy skies through rain, wind and raging sea Head into the Unknown, leave behind Bonds that may bind, circumstance that keep us behind Rise to meet the day hold high torches pa**ed through time Fear not what you might find Ver sterk mín sál á køldu náttarvakt Har eingi altarjós til gudar brenna Har hvør ein vón av fannkava var takt Og hjarta ongan hita meir kann kenna Ver stór mín sál sum rúmdar kalda tøgn Ið eina er, tá sloknar lívsins søgn Roads are long and oceans far and wide Nights are cold and skies are dark and gray Ride the autumn wind and evening tide Time is long and land is far away Out on the sea Waiting for me Storms are raging violently Still we sail on silently We seek to tame the torrents and tides Master the Mights Sail with me across the raging sea Write your tale into eternity Still we've sighted only sea till now As we sail I sometimes wonder how Rest in the twilight, I have gained insight
Since the deeds of younger days Now I'm wiser, raise my eyes gaze across the sea And recall when we sailed away Sought a new way How I longed for far far away In the sun set glow I dreamt of another Land A thousand years from that day Cattle die Kinsmen will die I myself must die too someday All are mortal men, but fair fame will never fade For the man who wins it Ver sterk mín sál á mjørkantungu ferð Har tættar fylkjast um teg gráar gátur Tín barnaflokkur - úttærdur hann er Og sárur kennist hans sólsvangi grátur Ver stór mín sál í dagsins royndar stund Holl veitir nátt hin dreymaleysa blund Roads are long and oceans far and wide Nights are cold and skies are dark and gray Ride the autumn wind and evening tide Time is long and land is far away Out on the sea Waiting for me Storms are raging violently Still we sail on silently We seek to tame the torrents and tides Master the Mights Sail with me across the raging sea Write your tale into eternity Still we've sighted only sea till now As we sail I sometimes wonder how far to Asgaard
