"Heimdallr" lyrics
"Heimdallr"
Heimdallr heitir einn áss
Hann er kallaðr hviti áss
Hann er mikill ok heilagr
Tennr hans váru af gulli
Hestr hans heitir Gulltopr
Hann býr þar er heitir
Himinbjörg við Bifröst
Þarf hann minna svefn en fugl
Hann sér jafnt nótt sem dag hundrað
Rasta frá sér
Hann heyrir ok þat er gras vex á
Jörðu eao ull á sauðum
Ok allt þat er hærra lætr
Hann hefir lúðr þann er
Gjallarhorn hetir
Ok heyrir blástr hans I alla heima
[English translation:]
Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God;
He is called the Old White Norse God;
He is great and holy;
His teeth are made of gold;
His horse is named Goldtop.
He lives where it's called the mountain in the sky besides Bifrost.
He needs less sleep than a bird;
He sees night as clear as day
One thousand miles away from where he is;
He also hears the grass grow from the soil,
Or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard.
He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn,
And they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes.
