SKÁLD - Ó Valhalla

Translation: The lyrics are taken from the Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda in Old Norse; translations vary There are a few variations in the lyrics in the song but basically: “Oh Valhalla...“ From Chapter 17: “Sal veit ek standa sólu fegra, gulli þakðan, á Gimlé; þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggva ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.“ A hall I know standing | than the sun fairer, Thatched with gold | in Gimlé bright; There shall dwell | the doers of righteousness And ever and ever | enjoy delight.“ From Chapter 40: “Fimm hundrað dura ok of fjórum tögum, svá hygg ek á Valhöllu vera; átta hundruð Einherja ganga senn ór einum durum þá er þeir fara með vitni at vega.“ Five hundred doors | and forty more So I deem stand in Valhalla; Eight hundred champions | go out at each door When they fare to fight with the Wolf. Repeat from Chapter 17 Then from Chapter 41: “Allir Einherjar Óðins túnum í höggvask hverjan dag, val þeir kjósa ok ríða vígi frá, sitja meir of sáttir saman.“ All the Einherjar | in
