Tyr - Trondur I Gotu lyrics

Omaneftir og niðaneftir Omaneftir Vallaratúni Har fór hestur mìn tann brúni Omaneftir vallartùni Tróndur droymdi dreymarnar Segði teir ei for mørgum Tókti mær sum Noregs kongur Stýrdi grimum vørgum Tróndur droymdi dreymarnar Segði teir ikki smærri Tókti mær sum siglitrø Tey gingu fjøllum hærri Svaraði Sjúrður Tollaksson: "Vær gevum ei slíkt í geyma Verturnáttin er so long At mangt kann bera í dreyma." Brandi brá of mælti svá: "Hilmar undan leypa Eg skal standa eftir ein Lív mítt dýrt at keypa." Omaneftir og niðaneftir Smaneftir Vallaratúni Har fór hestur mìn tann brúni Smaneftir vallartùni [English translation:] Up and down Up the wanderers yard There went my horse, the brown one Down the wanderers yard Tróndur dreamt the dreams Said them not to many: "Methought that the king of Norway Steered grim wargs." Tróndur dreamt the dreams Said them not to many: "Methought that masts Stood higher than mountains." Answered Sjùrður Tollaksson: "We heed not such things The winternight is so long That many things may come to dreams." Swung his sword and spoke thus: "Chieftains run away I shall remain alone My life life dearly bought." Up and down Up the wanderers yard There went my horse, the brown one Down the wanderers yard
