Tyr: G

Gestur villur fr hllini gongur,
blindur er hann og fur;

"Far t tr grasgarar

Treum lttliga dansin,

"Trati eru gturnar,

Hvussu eitur s reya trumma,

"Vita man eg gtuna,

Toran eitur s reya trumma,

Treum lttliga dansin,

"Vita man eg gtuna,

Óin gjrdist villini fuglar,

og alt ta li, har var.
Treum lttliga dansin,
dagurin skn so fagurliga;
komi er hgst summari.
[English translation:]
[The Riddle Rhyme]
Gestur walks lost from the hall,
blind is he and silent;
he meets an old man
with gray hair.
"Go to the gardens
and see to your estates;
I am going before Heirik King
to guess riddles".
Tread the dance lightly,
the day shines so brightly;
midsummer has come.
"Thirty are the riddles,
guess me one of them:
What is the name of the red drum,
that beats all over the world"?
"I know the riddle,
I guess the first of them:
Thunder is the name of the red drum,
that beats all over the world".
Tread the dance lightly,
the day shines so brightly;
midsummer has come.
"I know the riddle,
I'm not going loudly about it:
Odin rides his horse
both day and night."
Odin turned into wild birds,
flew out over the sea,
burned inn Heirik King
and all who were there.
Tread the dance lightly,
the day shines so brightly;
midsummer has come.
