text: Hljóðs bið ek allar
  Helgar kindir
  Meiri ok minni
  Mögu Heimdallar;
  Viltu at ek, Valföðr
  Vel fyr telja
  Forn spjöll fira
  Þau er fremst of man
  Attention I demand from all
  Sacred families
  Greater and lesser
  Children of Heimdallr;
  You want me, Valfather
  To well recite
  The ancient tales
  Those which I remember best
