Saltatio Mortis Lyrics – My Mother Told Me Someday I Would Buy

My Mother Told Me

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Sail to distant shores

Þat mælti mín móðir
At mér skyldi kaupa
Fley ok fagrar árar
Fara á brott með víkingum
Standa upp í stafni
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Hǫggva mann ok annan
Hǫggva mann ok annan

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
I sail to distant shores

Þél höggr stórt fyr stáli
Stafnkvígs á veg jafnan
Út með éla meitli
Andærr jötunn vandar
En svalbúinn selju
Sverfr eirar vanr þeiri
Gestils ölpt með gustum
Gandr of stál fyr brandi
Gandr of stál fyr brandi

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
I sail to distant shores

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Sail to distant shores
