Nú hefi ek órar iðnir talðar, þær er forðum vér framðar höfðum. Opt gengum vér til öndvegis sigri fegnir; látum Sjólf mæla! Nú hefi ek órar iðnir talðar, þær er forðum vér framðar höfðum. Opt gengum vér til öndvegis sigri fegnir; látum Sjólf mæla! Nú hefi ek talðar iðnir órar, þær er vér höfðum framðar forðum. Vér gengum opt fegnir sigri til öndvegis; látum Sjólf mæla!
