SKÁLD | My Mother Told Me (Lyrics & Translation)

~ Enable subtitles for the English translation! Both the translation to English and the transliteration to runes were made by me, but since I cannot call myself an expert either in Old Norse and runes, any correction and/or suggestion is warmly appreciated. I’m fairly sure most of you know the song “My mother told me”, but did you that the version that’s become so famous is actually an English adaptation of a Norse poem? The text in question is a short stanza that can be found in “Egil’s Saga”, and it’s of course originally in Old Icelandic: “Þat mælti mín móðir“.
