Heldum allir ór höfn skipum,
þegar fullhugar fengjar væntum.
Hræddumz ekki, meðan höfðingjar
heilir réðu fyr herskipum.
Allir heldum skipum ór höfn, þegar fullhugar væntum fengjar. Hræddumz ekki, meðan heilir höfðingjar réðu fyr herskipum.
‘We all steered the ships out of the harbour, as soon as we, courageous ones, expected booty. I was not afraid as long as upright chieftains controlled the warships. ’
