Gátu Ríma (Versão Em Inglês)
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 Heiðrik 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 Heiðrik King
and all who were there.
Tread the dance lightly,
the day shines so brightly;
midsummer has come.
