[Verse]
Swords have been wielded, and the spears assembly I have fought
Fought I have, waged war I did
As a young man I dyed spears, and many victories I won
Blooded soils, fought strong

[Chorus]
Aesir invites me home
Death is not of sorrow
Oden welcomes me
And laughing I want to die

Aesir invites me home
Death is not of sorrow
Oden welcomes me
And laughing I want to die

The dísir have been sent here
From Odin’s great hall
Odin welcomes me
With aesir I bellows my beer

[Verse]
Swords have been wielded, and the spears assembly I have fought
Laughing shall I die
