Translation of the song Lof Hins Gjafmilda - Honour to the Generous artist Assassin's Creed Valhalla (OST)

Emk hraðkvæðr

For generous prince

hilmi at mæra,

swift praise I find,

en glapmáll

but stint my words

of gløggvinga,

to stingy churl,

opinspjallr

openly sing I

of jǫfurs dôðum,

of king's true deeds,

en þagmælskr

but silence keep

of þjóðlygi.

on slander's lies.

Skaupi gnœgðr

For fabling braggarts

skrǫkberǫndum,

full am I of scorn,

emk vilkvæðr

but willing speak I

of vini mína;

of worthy friends:

sótt hefk mǫrg

courts I of monarchs

mildinga sjǫt

a many have sought,

með grunlaust

a gallant minstrel

grepps of œði.

of guileless mood.

Gekk maðr engr

Out of the mansion

at Engla hersis

at Jarl of England,

ór legvers

When guested and rested

lǫngum knerri

In generous wise,

háði leiddr

None with hard jest,

né heiptkviðum

None with rude jeer,

með atgeirs

None with his axe-hand

auðar toptir.

Ungifted hie.

Hinn's fégrimmr,

The man in Fjordane

es í Fjǫrðum býr,

shows money no love:

sá's of-dolgr

he banishes rings

Draupnis niðja,

that drip like fruit,

sǫkunautr

defies the ring-clad

of sona hvinna,

verse-brew's thief,

hringum hættr

hacks treasures in half,

hoddvegandi.

imperils brooches.
