I am from Iceland. and Egill SkallagrĂmsson (the viking who wrote the original poem) is actually one of my ancestors.
Although I can't help butt feel like something is missing in the translation to english, I'll be damned if this isn't the most beautiful version I have ever heard of this song!
Thank you very much!

I can't count how many times I've listened to her sing over the yearsâmaybe a hundred, maybe a thousand. Whenever I close my eyes, when things get tough, her song and face come to mind. Even though I've never met her, and never will, she was with meâin Mali, in Ukraine, in Poland, in Latvia. May the gods bless all the soldiers of good.

Lyrics
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shorДs
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
(StДady) Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
