Hjálm Lv 9VIII (Ǫrv 19)/1 — frá ‘away from’

Hvarf ek frá fögrum         fljóða söngvi,
alltrauðr gamans,         austr við Sóta.
För skundaðak,         ok fórk í lið
hinzta sinni         frá hollvinum.

Ek hvarf austr við Sóta, alltrauðr gamans, frá fögrum söngvi fljóða. Skundaðak för, ok fórk í lið hinzta sinni frá hollvinum.

I went east in company with Sóti, completely averse to pleasure, away from the beautiful singing of women. I speeded my journey and joined a warband for the last time away from my loyal friends.
