"Voluspo" lyrics - JETHRO TULL

Ek man jotna ar of borna
Tha er fordum mik faedda hofdu
Niu man ek heima, niu ividjur
Mjotvid maeran fyr mold nedan

Ar var alda, thar er Ymir byggdi
Var-a sandr ne saer ne svalar unnir
Jord fannsk aeva ne upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi

I remember yet the giants of Yore
Who gave me bread in the days gone by
Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree
With mighty roots beneath the mould

Of old was the age when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves nor sand, there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap and grass nowhere
