Váru vit Hjálmarr         hvert dægr glaðir, meðan herskipum         heilir réðum,

unz í Sámseyju         seggi fundum, þá er benlogum         bregða kunnu.

Váru vit Hjálmarr glaðir hvert dægr, meðan réðum herskipum heilir, unz fundum seggi í Sámseyju, þá er kunnu bregða {benlogum}.

Hjálmarr and I were happy every day while, unscathed, we steered our warships, until we came upon men on Samsø who knew how to brandish {wound-flames} [SWORDS].
