Wardruna
Wardruna - Runaljod (English Translation)
Wealth cause dispute among friends;
The wolf lives in the forest
Slag come from bad iron;
Often runs the reindeer on frozen snow
Giant causes woman’s sorrow;
Few are cheerful from misfortune
River's mouth is the way of most journeys;
But the sheath is the one of swords
Riding, one says, is for horses the worst;
Regin forged the best sword
Ulcer is fatal for children;
Death makes man pale
Hail is the coldest of grain;
Herjan shaped the world in olden times
Need leaves you little choice;
The naked freeze in the frost
Ice we call the broad bridge;
The blind man must be led
