King Svend, mark this stone for Skarde
(King Svend) to honor a fallen man

Skarde's last battle was fought at Hedeby
Skarde's last battle was fought at sea
As the ship sank, Skarde lay with his belly split open
Corpses in the water
Corpses in the sand

Skarde met his death at Hedeby
(Skarde) and received honor as his wage
Skarde met his death at Hedeby
And received honor as his wage
