Heimdallr Lyrics


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

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 hear 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.
