When Ymir lived

A long time ago

Was no sand nor sea

Nor surging waves

Nowhere was there earth

Nor heaven above

Only Ginnungagap

And grass nowhere

The sons of Bur

Then built up the lands

Created the great

Midgard to be



Out of emptiness

Out of Ginnungagap

Came Yggdrasil

Came life

Out of emptiness

Out of Ginnungagap

Came all of what is today



The sun turned from the south

Sister of Moon

She did not have

Nor Had the Moon

A notion of what

Powers they had

A counsil were gathered

Where names were given

The night and the nightfall

And the morning they named

The mid-day, mid-winter

For the assigning of years



Bur had three sons Vile, Ve and Odin

They killed the giant Ymir and founded what we know

They gave us life, spirit and wisdom

Odin owns us all and we owe all to him



When Ymir lived

A long time ago

Was no sand nor sea

Nor surging waves

Nowhere was there earth

Nor heaven above

Only Ginnungagap

And grass nowhere

The sons of Bur

Then built up the lands

Created the great

Midgard to be



Out of emptiness

Out of Ginnungagap

Came Yggdrasil

Came life

Out of emptiness

Out of Ginnungagap

Came all of what is today
