Odin [English translation]

[Verse 1]

In icy past you once guarded

You threw Gungnir, you were a spear in the battle

You wandered the nine worlds as a wanderer at night

You found Mimir's well again

[Refrain]

Nine days you hang

From Yggrasil's twigs

Nine long nights

For 16 magical signs

Magical sings to invoke death

To heal the ill and disturb the enemies

To hold flames, to control the swords

To catch ghosts and to lower the spears

Hávamál, verse 138, 139, 144

I know that I hung

On a windy tree

Nine long nights,

Wounded with a spear,

Dedicated to Odin,

Myself to myself,

On that tree

Of which no man knows

From where its roots run.

No bread did they give me

Nor a drink from a horn,

Downwards I peered;

I took up the runes,

Screaming I took them,

Then I fell back from there.

Do you know how to write?

Do you know how to interpret?

Do you know how to color them?

Do you know how to consider?

Do you know how to consult?

Do you know how to sacrifice?

Do you know how to send?

Do you know how to kill?

I know that I hung

On a windy tree

Nine long nights,

Wounded with a spear,

Dedicated to Odin,

Myself to myself,

On that tree

Of which no man knows

From where its roots run.

No bread did they give me

Nor a drink from a horn,

Downwards I peered;

I took up the runes,

Screaming I took them,

Then I fell back from there.

Do you know how to write?

Do you know how to interpret?

Do you know how to color them?

Do you know how to consider?

Do you know how to consult?

Do you know how to sacrifice?

Do you know how to send?

Do you know how to kill?
