Svart Skauf 11VIII/7 — fjalli ‘mountains’

‘Betra er nú         bráða að leita,
en þá fyrðar         fie sitt geyma.
Liggja með brúnum         lömb hvervetna
en á fjalli         feitir sauðir.’

‘Nú er betra að leita bráða, en þá fyrðar geyma fie sitt. Lömb liggja hvervetna með brúnum en feitir sauðir á fjalli.’

‘It is better to look for meat now than when men are watching their livestock. Lambs lie everywhere along the ridges and fat sheep in the mountains.’
