Jonathan Young - My Mother Told Me Lyrics

Jonathan Young Lyrics

"My Mother Told Me"
(feat. Colm R. McGuinness, Bobby Bass)

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand upon the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

Þat mælti mín móðir
At mér skyldi kaupa
Fley ok fagrar árar
Fara á brott með víkingum

Standa upp í stafni
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Hǫggva mann ok annan
Hǫggva mann ok annan

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand upon the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
