《里格之歌》原典

Ár kváðu ganga
grænar brautir
öflgan ok aldinn
ás kunnigan,
ramman ok röskvan
Ríg stíganda.

Gekk hann meir at þat
miðrar brautar;
kom hann at húsi,
hurð var á gætti;
inn nam at ganga,
eldr var á golfi;
hjón sátu þar
hár at arni,
Ái ok Edda,
aldinfalda.

Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja;
meir settisk hann
miðra fletja,
en á hlið hvára
hjón salkynna.

Þá tók Edda
ökkvinn hleif,
þungan ok þykkvan,
þrunginn sáðum;
bar hon meir at þat
miðra skutla,
soð var í bolla,
setti á bjóð;
var kalfr soðinn
krása beztr.

Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja;
reis hann upp þaðan,
réðsk at sofna;
meir lagðisk hann
miðrar rekkju,
en á hlið hvára
hjón salkynna.

Þar var hann at þat
þríar nætr saman,
gekk hann meir at þat
miðrar brautar;
liðu meir at þat
mánuðr níu.

Jóð ól Edda
jósu vatni,
hörvi svartan,
hétu Þræl.

Hann nam at vaxa
ok vel dafna;
var þar á höndum
hrokkit skinn,
kropnir knúar,
fingr digrir,
fúlligt andlit,
lotr hryggr,
langir hælar.

Nam han meir at þat
magns of kosta,
bast at binda,
byrðar gerva;
bar hann heim at þat
hrís gerstan dag.

Þar kom at garði
gengilbeina,
aurr var á iljum,
armr sólbrunninn,
niðrbjúgt er nef,
nefndisk Þír.

Miðra fletja
meir settisk hon;
sat hjá henni
sonr húss;
ræddu ok rýndu,
rekkju gerðu
Þræll ok Þír
þrungin dægr.

Börn ólu þau,
- bjuggu ok unðu, -
hygg ek at héti
Hreimr ok Fjósnir,
Klúrr ok Kleggi,
Kefsir, Fúlnir,
Drumbr, Digraldi,
Dröttr ok Hösvir.
Lútr ok Leggjaldi;
lögðu garða,
akra töddu,
unnu at svínum,
geita gættu,
grófu torf.

Dætr váru þær
Drumba ok Kumba,
Ökkvinkalfa
ok Arinnefja,
Ysja ok Ambátt,
Eikintjasna,
Tötrughypja
ok Trönubeina.
Þaðan eru komnar
þræla ættir.

Gekk Rígr at þat
réttar brautir,
kom hann at höllu,
hurð var á skíði,
inn nam at ganga,
eldr var á golfi,
hjón sátu þar,
heldu á sýslu.

Maðr teglði þar
meið til rifjar;
var skegg skapat,
skör var fyrir enni,
skyrtu þröngva,
skokkr var á golfi.

Sat þar kona,
sveigði rokk,
breiddi faðm,
bjó til váðar;
sveigr var á höfði,
smokkr var á bringu,
dúkr var á halsi,
dvergar á öxlum.
Afi ok Amma
áttu hús.

Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja;
[meir settisk hann
miðra fletja,
en á hlið hvára
hjón salkynna].::

[Þá tók Amma]
-- -- --
var kalfr soðinn
krása beztr.

[Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja]
reis frá borði,
réð at sofna;
meir lagðisk hann
miðrar rekkju,
en á hlið hvára
hjón salkynna.

Þar var hann at þat
þríar nætr saman;
liðu meir at þat
mánuðr níu.

Jóð ól Amma
jósu vatni,
kölluðu Karl,
kona sveip rifti,
rauðan ok rjóðan,
riðuðu augu.

Hann nam at vaxa
ok vel dafna,
öxn nam at temja,
arðr at gerva,
hús at timbra
ok hlöður smíða,
karta at gerva
ok keyra plóg.

Heim óku þá
hanginluklu,
geitakyrtlu,
giftu Karli;
Snör heitir sú,
settisk und rifti;
bjuggu hjón,
bauga deildu,
breiddu blæjur
ok bú gerðu.

Börn ólu þau,
- bjuggu ok unðu, -
hét Halr ok Drengr,
Hölðr, Þegn ok Smiðr,
Breiðr, Bóndi,
Bundinskeggi,
Búi ok Boddi,
Brattskeggr ok Seggr.

Enn hétu svá
öðrum nöfnum,
Snót, Brúðr, Svanni,
Svarri, Sprakki,
Fljóð, Sprund ok Víf,
Feima, Ristill.
Þaðan eru komnar
karla ættir.

Gekk Rígr þaðan
réttar brautir;
kom hann at sal,
suðr horfðu dyrr,
var hurð hnigin,
hringr var í gætti.

Gekk hann inn at þat,
golf var stráat;
sátu hjón,
sáusk í augu,
Faðir ok Móðir,
fingrum at leika.

Sat húsgumi
ok sneri streng,
alm of bendi,
örvar skefti;
en húskona
hugði at örmum,
strauk of rifti,
sterti ermar.

Keisti fald,
kinga var á bringu,
síðar slæður,
serk bláfáan;
brún bjartari,
brjóst ljósara,
hals hvítari
hreinni mjöllu.

Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja;
meir settisk hann
miðra fletja,
en á hlið hvára
hjón salkynna.

Þá tók Móðir
merkðan dúk,
hvítan af hörvi,
hulði bjóð,
hon tók at þat
hleifa þunna,
hvíta af hveiti,
ok hulði dúk.

Framm setti hon
fulla skutla,
silfri varða, á bjóð,
fáin fleski
ok fugla steikða,
vín var í könnu,
varðir kálkar;
drukku ok dæmðu,
dagr var á sinnum.

Rígr kunni þeim
ráð at segja;
reis hann at þat,
rekkju gerði.
Þar var hann at þat
þríar nætr saman;
gekk hann meir at þat
miðrar brautar;
liðu meir at þat
mánuðr níu.

Svein ól Móðir,
silki vafði,
jósu vatni,
Jarl létu heita;
bleikt var hár,
bjartir vangar,
ötul váru augu
sem yrmlingi.

Upp óx þar
Jarl á fletjum;
lind nam at skelfa,
leggja strengi,
alm at beygja,
örvar skefta,
flein at fleygja,
frökkur dýja,
hestum ríða,
hundum verpa,
sverðum bregða,
sund at fremja.

Kom þar ór runni
Rígr gangandi,
Rígr gangandi,
rúnar kendi;
sitt gaf heiti,
son kveðsk eiga;
þann bað hann eignask
óðalvöllu,
óðalvöllu,
aldnar byggðir.

Reið hann meir þaðan
myrkvan við,
hélug fjöll,
unz at höllu kom;
skaft nam at dýja,
skelfði lind,
hesti hleypði
ok hjörvi brá;
víg nam at vekja,
völl nam at rjóða,
val nam at fella,
vá til landa.

Réð hann einn at þat
átján búum,
auð nam skipta,
öllum veita
meiðmar ok mösma,
mara svangrifja,
hringum hreytti,
hjó sundr baug.

Óku ærir
úrgar brautir,
kómu at höllu,
þar er Hersir bjó;
mey átti hann
mjófingraða,
hvíta ok horska,
hétu Erna.

Báðu hennar
ok heim óku,
giftu Jarli,
gekk hon und líni;
saman bjuggu þau
ok sér unðu,
ættir jóku
ok aldrs nutu.

Burr var inn ellsti,
en Barn annat,
Jóð ok Aðal,
Arfi, Mögr,
Niðr ok Niðjungr,
- námu leika, -
Sonr ok Sveinn,
- sund ok tafl, -
Kundr hét enn,
Konr var inn yngsti.

Upp óxu þar
Jarli bornir,
hesta tömðu,
hlífar bendu,
skeyti skófu,
skelfðu aska.

En Konr ungr
kunni rúnar,
ævinrúnar
ok aldrrúnar;
meir kunni hann
mönnum bjarga,
eggjar deyfa,
ægi lægja.

Klök nam fugla,
kyrra elda,
sefa of svefja,
sorgir lægja,
afl ok eljun
átta manna.

Hann við Ríg jarl
rúnar deildi,
brögðum beitti
ok betr kunni;
þá öðlaðisk
ok þá eiga gat
Rígr at heita,
rúnar kunna.

Reið Konr ungr
kjörr ok skóga,
kolfi fleygði,
kyrrði fugla.

Þá kvað þat kráka,
sat kvisti ein:
"Hvat skaltu, Konr ungr,
kyrra fugla?
Heldr mætti ér
hestum ríða,
[hjörvi bregða]
ok her fella.

Á Danr ok Danpr
dýrar hallir,
æðra óðal
en ér hafið;
þeir kunnu vel
kjóli at ríða,
egg at kenna,
undir rjúfa."

Brún bjartari,
brjóst ljósara,
hals hvítari
hreinni mjöllu.

Bjuggu hjón,
bauga deildu.

Men say there went by ways so green
Of old the god, the aged and wise,
Mighty and strong did Rig go striding.
..............................

Forward he went on the midmost way,
He came to a dwelling, a door on its posts;
In did he fare, on the floor was a fire,
Two hoary ones by the hearth there sat,
Ai and Edda, in olden dress.

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
Soon in the midst of the room he sat,
And on either side the others were.

A loaf of bread did Edda bring,
Heavy and thick and swollen with husks;
Forth on the table she set the fare,
And broth for the meal in a bowl there was.
(Calf's flesh boiled was the best of the dainties.)

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
Thence did he rise, made ready to sleep;
Soon in the bed himself did he lay,
And on either side the others were.

Thus was he there for three nights long,
Then forward he went on the midmost way,
And so nine months were soon passed by.

A son bore Edda, with water they sprinkled him,
With a cloth his hair so black they covered;
Thræll they named him, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The skin was wrinkled and rough on his hands,
Knotted his knuckles, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Thick his fingers, and ugly his face,
Twisted his back, and big his heels.

He began to grow, and to gain in strength,
Soon of his might good use he made; With bast he bound, and burdens carried,
Home bore faggots the whole day long.

One came to their home, crooked her legs,
Stained were her feet, and sunburned her arms,
Flat was her nose; her name was Thir.

Soon in the midst of the room she sat,
By her side there sat the son of the house;
They whispered both, and the bed made ready,
Thræll and Thir, till the day was through.

Children they had, they lived and were happy,
Fjosnir and Klur they were called, methinks,
Hreim and Kleggi, Kefsir, Fulnir,
Drumb, Digraldi, Drott and Leggjaldi,
Lut and Hosvir; the house they cared for,
Ground they dunged, and swine they guarded,
Goats they tended, and turf they dug.

Daughters had they, Drumba and Kumba,
Ökkvinkalfa, Arinnefja,
Ysja and Ambott, Eikintjasna,
Totrughypja and Tronubeina;
And thence has risen the race of thralls.

Forward went Rig, his road was straight,
To a hall he came, and a door there hung;
In did he fare, on the floor was a fire:
Ail and Amma owned the house.

There sat the twain, and worked at their tasks:
The man hewed wood for the weaver's beam;
His beard was trimmed, o'er his brow a curl,
His clothes fitted close; in the corner a chest.

The woman sat and the distaff wielded,
At the weaving with arms outstretched she worked;
On her head was a band, on her breast a smock;
On her shoulders a kerchief with clasps there was.

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
Soon in the midst of the room he sat,
And on either side the others were.

Then took Amma . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The vessels full with the fare she set,
Calf's flesh boiled was the best of the dainties.

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
He rose from the board, made ready to sleep;
Soon in the bed himself did he lay,
And on either side the others were.

Thus was he there for three nights long,
Then forward he went on the midmost way,
And so nine months were soon passed by.

A son bore Amma, with water they sprinkled him,
Karl they named him; in a cloth she wrapped him,
He was ruddy of face, and flashing his eyes.

He began to grow, and to gain in strength,
Oxen he ruled, and plows made ready,
Houses he built, and barns he fashioned,
Carts he made, and the plow he managed.

Home did they bring the bride for Karl,
In goatskins clad, and keys she bore;
Snör was her name, 'neath the veil she sat;
A home they made ready, and rings exchanged,
The bed they decked, and a dwelling made.

Sons they had, they lived and were happy:
Hal and Dreng, Holth, Thegn and Smith,
Breith and Bondi, Bundinskeggi,
Bui and Boddi, Brattskegg and Segg.

Daughters they had, and their names are here:
Snot, Bruth, Svanni, Svarri, Sprakki,
Fljoth, Sprund and Vif, Feima, Ristil:
And thence has risen the yeomen's race.

Thence went Rig, his road was straight,
A hall he saw, the doors faced south;
The portal stood wide, on the posts was a ring,
Then in he fared; the floor was strewn.

Within two gazed in each other's eyes,
Fathir and Mothir, and played with their fingers;
There sat the house-lord, wound strings for the bow,
Shafts he fashioned, and bows he shaped.

The lady sat, at her arms she looked,
She smoothed the cloth, and fitted the sleeves;
Gay was her cap, on her breast were clasps,
Broad was her train, of blue was her gown, Her brows were bright, her breast was shining,
Whiter her neck than new-fallen snow.

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
Soon in the midst of the room he sat,
And on either side the others were.

Then Mothir brought a broidered cloth,
Of linen bright, and the board she covered;
And then she took the loaves so thin,
And laid them, white from the wheat, on the cloth.

Then forth she brought the vessels full,
With silver covered, and set before them,
Meat all browned, and well-cooked birds;
In the pitcher was wine, of plate were the cups,
So drank they and talked till the day was gone.

Rig knew well wise words to speak,
Soon did he rise, made ready to sleep;
So in the bed himself did he lay,
And on either side the others were.

Thus was he there for three nights long,
Then forward he went on the midmost way,
And so nine months were soon passed by.

A son had Mothir, in silk they wrapped him,
With water they sprinkled him, Jarl he was;
Blond was his hair, and bright his cheeks,
Grim as a snake's were his glowing eyes.

To grow in the house did Jarl begin,
Shields he brandished, and bow-strings wound,
Bows he shot, and shafts he fashioned,
Arrows he loosened, and lances wielded,
Horses he rode, and hounds unleashed,
Swords he handled, and sounds he swam.

Straight from the grove came striding Rig,
Rig came striding, and runes he taught him;
By his name he called him, as son he claimed him, And bade him hold his heritage wide,
His heritage wide, the ancient homes.

..............................
Forward he rode through the forest dark,
O'er the frosty crags, till a hall he found.

His spear he shook, his shield he brandished,
His horse he spurred, with his sword he hewed;
Wars he raised, and reddened the field,
Warriors slew he, and land he won.

Eighteen halls ere long did he hold,
Wealth did he get, and gave to all,
Stones and jewels and slim-flanked steeds,
Rings he offered, and arm-rings shared.

His messengers went by the ways so wet,
And came to the hall where Hersir dwelt;
His daughter was fair and slender-fingered,
Erna the wise the maiden was.

Her hand they sought, and home they brought her,
Wedded to Jarl the veil she wore;
Together they dwelt, their joy was great,
Children they had, and happy they lived.

Bur was the eldest, and Barn the next,
Joth and Athal, Arfi, Mog,
Nith and Svein, soon they began—
Sun and Nithjung— to play and swim;
Kund was one, and the youngest Kon.

Soon grew up the sons of Jarl,
Beasts they tamed, and bucklers rounded,
Shafts they fashioned, and spears they shook.

But Kon the Young learned runes to use,
Runes everlasting, the runes of life; Soon could he well the warriors shield,
Dull the swordblade, and still the seas.

Bird-chatter learned he, flames could he lessen,
Minds could quiet, and sorrows calm;
..............................
The might and strength of twice four men.

With Rig-Jarl soon the runes he shared,
More crafty he was, and greater his wisdom;
The right he sought, and soon he won it,
Rig to be called, and runes to know.

Young Kon rode forth through forest and grove,
Shafts let loose, and birds he lured;
There spake a crow on a bough that sat:
"Why lurest thou, Kon, the birds to come?

"'Twere better forth on thy steed to fare,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and the host to slay.

"The halls of Dan and Danp are noble,
Greater their wealth than thou hast gained;
Good are they at guiding the keel,
Trying of weapons, and giving of wounds.
***

相傳遠古時，有一位神
行走於翠綠的道路，
他強健而年邁，
是位睿智的阿薩神；
威武而矯健的
里格，大步前行。

他繼續前行，
沿著道路中央；
來到一所屋舍，
門扉安在門框上；
他走了進去，
地上燃著爐火；
一對夫妻坐在那裡，
白髮蒼蒼，守著火爐，
阿伊與埃達，
戴著古老的頭巾。

里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告；
隨後他坐下，
坐在長凳中央，
屋裡的夫妻
各坐在他一側。

於是埃達拿來
一塊粗黑的麵包，
又沉又厚，
滿是穀殼；
隨後她把它端到
餐桌中央，
碗裡盛著肉湯，
她把碗放上桌；
煮熟的小牛肉
是其中最好的佳餚。

里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告；
他從座上起身，
準備就寢；
隨後他躺下，
躺在床鋪中央，
屋裡的夫妻
各睡在他一側。

他就在那裡
一連住了三夜，
隨後又繼續前行，
沿著道路中央；
此後過了
九個月。

埃達生下一個嬰孩，
人們為他灑水，
他的膚色黝黑，
人們叫他特雷爾。

他漸漸長大，
長得健壯；
他的雙手上
皮膚皺縮，
指節粗曲，
手指肥厚，
面貌醜陋，
脊背傴僂，
腳跟修長。

此後他開始
使出自己的力氣，
搓綁樹皮纖維，
捆紮重擔；
他把柴枝背回家，
整天如此勞作。

有個女子來到院裡，
雙腿彎曲，
腳底沾滿泥土，
手臂曬得焦黑，
鼻子向下勾曲，
自稱蒂爾。

長凳中央，
她隨即坐下；
坐在她身旁的
是這家的兒子；
兩人交談低語，
鋪好了床，
特雷爾與蒂爾
整日相伴。

他們生兒育女，
——安居樂業，——
我想孩子的名字是
赫雷姆與菲約斯尼爾，
克盧爾與克萊吉，
凱夫西爾、富爾尼爾，
德倫布、迪格拉爾迪，
德羅特與赫斯維爾，
盧特與萊吉亞爾迪；
他們築起圍牆，
為田地施肥，
飼養豬隻，
看守山羊，
挖掘草皮。

他們的女兒有
德倫巴與昆巴，
厄克溫卡爾瓦
與阿林內芙雅，
伊斯雅與安巴特，
艾金蒂亞斯娜，
特特魯格希普雅
與特勒努貝娜。
奴隸的各個族系
便由此而來。

里格隨後走上
筆直的道路，
來到一座廳堂，
門扉懸在木樞上，
他走了進去，
地上燃著爐火，
一對夫妻坐在那裡，
各自忙著活計。

男人在那裡削木，
製作織機的橫梁；
鬍鬚修剪整齊，
額前垂著頭髮，
身穿合身的襯衣，
地上放著一只木箱。

女人坐在那裡，
轉動紡錘，
舒展雙臂，
準備織布；
頭上繫著髮帶，
胸前穿著罩衣，
頸上圍著布巾，
雙肩別著扣針。
阿菲與阿瑪
是這屋子的主人。

里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告；
[隨後他坐下，
坐在長凳中央，
屋裡的夫妻
各坐在他一側]。::

[於是阿瑪拿來]
-- -- --
煮熟的小牛肉
是其中最好的佳餚。

[里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告]
他從桌邊起身，
準備就寢；
隨後他躺下，
躺在床鋪中央，
屋裡的夫妻
各睡在他一側。

他就在那裡
一連住了三夜；
此後過了
九個月。

阿瑪生下一個嬰孩，
人們為他灑水，
叫他卡爾，
女人用布將他裹起，
他膚色紅潤，雙頰緋紅，
眼睛靈活轉動。

他漸漸長大，
長得健壯，
學會馴服公牛，
製作木犁，
建造房屋，
搭建穀倉，
製造車輛，
扶犁耕地。

人們乘車接回一個女子，
身上掛著鑰匙，
穿著山羊皮衣，
把她嫁給卡爾；
她名叫斯諾爾，
坐在頭紗底下；
夫妻共同生活，
分贈指環，
鋪開被褥，
建立家業。

他們生兒育女，
——安居樂業，——
孩子名叫哈爾與德倫格，
赫爾德、塞恩與斯米德，
布雷德、邦迪，
本丁斯凱吉，
布伊與博迪，
布拉特斯凱格與塞格。

其他的孩子
又有這些名字：
斯諾特、布魯德、斯萬妮，
斯瓦莉、斯普拉基，
弗約德、斯普倫德與維芙，
費瑪、里斯蒂爾。
自由農民的各個族系
便由此而來。

里格從那裡走上
筆直的道路；
來到一座大廳，
大門朝向南方，
門扉敞開，
門框上裝著圓環。

隨後他走了進去，
地上鋪滿草；
一對夫妻坐在那裡，
彼此凝望，
法迪爾與莫迪爾，
手指相互逗弄。

男主人坐在那裡，
搓捻弓弦，
彎曲榆木弓，
為箭頭裝上箭桿；
女主人則
端詳自己的雙臂，
撫平衣料，
拉整衣袖。

她戴著高聳的頭巾，
胸前別著飾針，
裙裾長長曳地，
衣袍染作青藍；
眉宇更明麗，
胸脯更皎潔，
頸項更白皙，
勝過潔淨的新雪。

里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告；
隨後他坐下，
坐在長凳中央，
屋裡的夫妻
各坐在他一側。

於是莫迪爾拿來
繡著花紋的桌布，
用潔白亞麻織成，
鋪在餐桌上，
隨後她拿來
薄薄的麵包，
以小麥製成，潔白無瑕，
擺滿桌布。

她把盛滿食物的盤子
端上前來，
鑲著銀邊，擺上餐桌，
盛著豬肉
與烤熟的禽鳥，
壺裡盛著葡萄酒，
酒杯鑲著飾邊；
他們一邊飲酒，一邊談論，
白日漸漸逝去。

里格懂得向他們
說出明智的忠告；
隨後他起身，
鋪好了床。
他就在那裡
一連住了三夜；
隨後又繼續前行，
沿著道路中央；
此後過了
九個月。

莫迪爾生下一個男嬰，
用絲綢將他裹起，
人們為他灑水，
給他取名雅爾；
他的頭髮金黃，
雙頰明亮，
眼神凌厲，
猶如幼蛇。

雅爾就在那裡，
在廳堂中長大；
他學會揮動盾牌，
裝設弓弦，
彎弓射箭，
為箭頭裝上箭桿，
投擲標槍，
揮舞長矛，
騎乘馬匹，
放出獵犬，
拔劍揮舞，
泅水游泳。

里格從樹叢中
步行而來，
里格步行而來，
教他盧恩符文；
把自己的名字賜給他，
說他是自己的兒子；
吩咐他去取得
世襲的田土，
世襲的田土，
古老的聚落。

此後他從那裡騎馬出發，
穿過幽暗的樹林，
越過霜覆的山嶺，
直到一座廳堂前；
他開始揮動矛桿，
舞起盾牌，
策馬奔馳，
拔出利劍；
他發起戰爭，
染紅原野，
斬殺戰士，
以征戰奪取土地。

此後他獨自統領
十八座莊園，
開始分配財富，
賜予眾人
珍寶與首飾，
腰肋纖瘦的駿馬，
揮灑金環，
砍開臂環分贈。

使者們驅車
行經濕潤的道路，
來到一座廳堂，
赫爾西爾住在那裡；
他有一個女兒，
手指纖細，
膚色白皙，聰慧明理，
名叫埃爾娜。

他們向她求親，
乘車將她接回，
把她嫁給雅爾，
她披上亞麻頭紗；
他們一同生活，
怡然自得，
繁衍後代，
享受年華。

布爾是長子，
巴爾恩排行第二，
還有約德與阿達爾，
阿爾維、默格，
尼德與尼迪永格，
——他們學會遊戲，——
松爾與斯韋恩，
——游泳與下棋，——
另有一人叫昆德，
康是最小的兒子。

雅爾所生的兒子們
就在那裡長大，
馴服馬匹，
彎製盾牌，
削製箭桿，
揮動梣木長矛。

而年輕的康
通曉盧恩符文，
永恆的符文，
生命的符文；
他還懂得
拯救人命，
使刀鋒鈍化，
使大海平靜。

他懂得鳥兒的啼語，
平息烈火，
安撫心神，使人入睡，
消弭憂愁，
還擁有八個人的
力量與耐力。

他與里格雅爾
較量盧恩符文，
施展巧術，
技藝更勝一籌；
於是他贏得了，
也得以享有
里格這個名號，
通曉盧恩符文。

年輕的康騎馬
穿過灌叢與樹林，
射出鈍頭箭，
擊倒飛鳥。

於是一隻烏鴉說話了，
牠獨自停在枝頭：
「年輕的康，你為何
要擊倒飛鳥？
你們更該
騎馬奔馳，
[拔出利劍]
斬殺敵軍。

丹爾與丹普爾擁有
華美的廳堂，
祖傳的領地
比你們的更高貴；
他們十分擅長
駕船航行，
試驗刀鋒，
劈開創口。」

眉宇更明麗，
胸脯更皎潔，
頸項更白皙，
勝過潔淨的新雪。

夫妻共同生活，
分贈指環。
