Hljóðs bið ek allar
Helgar kindir
Meiri ok minni
Mögu Heimdallar;
Viltu at ek, Valföðr
Vel fyr telja
Forn spjöll fira
Þau er fremst of man

[English:]

Attention I demand from all
Sacred families
Greater and lesser
Children of Heimdallr;
You want me, Valfather
To well recite
The ancient tales
Those which I remember best
