After the death of Brynhild there were made two bale-fires, the one for Sigurth, and that burned first, and on the other was Brynhild burned, and she was on a wagon which was covered with a rich cloth. Thus it is told, that Brynhild went in the wagon on Hel-way, and passed by a house where dwelt a certain giantess. The giantess spake:

"Thou shalt not further forward fare,
My dwelling ribbed with rocks across;
More seemly it were at thy weaving to stay,
Than another's husband here to follow.

"What wouldst thou have from Valland here,
Fickle of heart, in this my house?
Gold-goddess, now, if thou wouldst know,
Heroes' blood from thy hands hast washed."

Brynhild spake: 3.
"Chide me not, woman from rocky walls,
Though to battle once I was wont to go;
Better than thou I shall seem to be,
When men us two shall truly know."

The giantess spake: 4.
"Thou wast, Brynhild, Buthli's daughter, For the worst of evils born in the world;
To death thou hast given Gjuki's children,
And laid their lofty house full low."

Brynhild spake: 5.
"Truth from the wagon here I tell thee,
Witless one, if know thou wilt
How the heirs of Gjuki gave me to be
Joyless ever, a breaker of oaths.

"Hild the helmed in Hlymdalir
They named me of old, all they who knew me.
..............
..............

"The monarch bold the swan-robes bore
Of the sisters eight beneath an oak; Twelve winters I was, if know thou wilt,
When oaths I yielded the king so young.

"Next I let the leader of Goths,
Hjalmgunnar the old, go down to hell,
And victory brought to Autha's brother;
For this was Othin's anger mighty.

"He beset me with shields in Skatalund,
Red and white, their rims o'erlapped;
He bade that my sleep should broken be
By him who fear had nowhere found.

"He let round my hall, that southward looked,
The branches' foe high-leaping burn;
Across it he bade the hero come
Who brought me the gold that Fafnir guarded.

"On Grani rode the giver of gold, Where my foster-father ruled his folk;
Best of all he seemed to be,
The prince of the Danes, when the people met.

"Happy we slept, one bed we had,
As he my brother born had been;
Eight were the nights when neither there
Loving hand on the other laid.

"Yet Guthrun reproached me, Gjuki's daughter,
That I in Sigurth's arms had slept;
Then did I hear what I would were hid,
That they had betrayed me in taking a mate.

"Ever with grief and all too long
Are men and women born in the world;
But yet we shall live our lives together,
Sigurth and I. Sink down, Giantess!"

“你不得穿过
我的庭院，
那庭院四周
有岩石支撑；
你更该做的，
是织你的锦带，
而非前去寻访
别人的丈夫。

你从瓦尔兰来，
到我的屋舍，
你这反复无常的人，
究竟有何所求？
你这黄金之瓦尔，
若你想知道，
慷慨的女子，你已从手上
洗去了男子的鲜血。”
布伦希尔德说：

“别责备我，
岩石中的女子，
纵然我曾经
出征劫掠；
我们两人之中，
人们会认为我更高贵，
只要他们知晓
你我的出身。”
女巨人说：

“你，布伦希尔德，
布德利的女儿，
降生在世上，
带着最凶的灾命；
你使吉尤基的
儿女们丧命，
也毁掉了他们
美好的家业。”
布伦希尔德说：

“我这明智之人将从车上
向你讲述，
你这愚蠢至极的女子，
若你想知道，
吉尤基的后人
如何使我
失去了爱情，
又背弃了誓言。

在赫吕姆达利尔，
凡是认识我的人，
全都称我为
戴盔的希尔德。

另一人名叫阿格纳尔，
是奥达的兄弟，
没有任何人
愿意援助他。

那勇敢的君王
命人将我们
八姐妹的羽衣
带到橡树下；
那年我十二岁，
若你想知道，
就在那时，我向年轻的君王
立下了誓言。

随后我让年老的
希亚尔姆贡纳尔
在哥特人的国土上
走向赫尔的冥府；
我将胜利赐给了
奥达年轻的兄弟；
奥丁为此
对我大发雷霆。

他用盾牌将我围困
在斯卡塔伦德，
盾牌红白相间，
盾缘彼此相接；
他命那个人
来打破我的沉眠，
那人无论身在何处，
都不知畏惧。

他让我的殿堂
朝南的一面，
燃起高高的烈火，
那一切树木的劲敌；
他命一位勇士
独自骑马穿过火焰，
为我带来黄金，
那曾在法夫尼尔身下的黄金。

那慷慨赐金的英雄
骑着格拉尼，
来到我养父
掌管的厅堂；
在那里，人们觉得他
胜过所有的人，
这位丹麦的征战勇士，
在随从之中无与伦比。

我们安然睡在
同一张床上，
仿佛他是我的
同胞兄弟；
整整八夜，
我们谁也不曾
把手伸过
放在对方身上。

吉尤基的女儿
古德伦责备我，
说我曾在西格尔德的
臂弯里安睡；
那时我才得知
我不愿知道的事：
他们竟在婚配上
欺骗了我。

活在世上的
女人和男人，
总要长久承受
无尽的苦难；
我与西格尔德
将一同
度尽我们的生命。
沉下去吧，女巨人的后裔。”
