Hamdir & Sorli

lyrics

Hamdismal

3. She was your sister - Svanhild was her name -
whom Iormunrekk trampled with horses,
white and black, on the paved road,
with the grey horses of the Goths, trained to pace slowly.

10. Weep for your brothers and your dear sons,
close-born kinsmen, brought to strife;
for us both, Gudrun, you shall weep too,
we who sit here, doomed men on our horses; far from here we'll die.

23. There was tumult in the hall, beer-cups rebounded,
men lay in blood, shed from Goths' breasts.

24. Then said Hamdir the strong-minded:
You were longing, Iormunrekk, for our arrival,
brothers born of the same mother, within your citadel.
You see your own feet, you see your own hands,
Iormunrekk, hurled into the hot fire.'

30. We have fought well, we stand on Goth corpses,
weary from the sword-edge like eagles on a branch;
we have won great glory if we die now or yesterday,
no man outlasts the evening after the norns have given their verdict.

31. Then Sorli fell at the hall gable
and Hamdir sank behind the house
