Translation of the song Vígahugr - Lust for Battle artist Assassin's Creed Valhalla (OST)

Old Norse/Norrønt

Vígahugr - Lust for Battle

English translation

Vigahugr - Lust for Battle.

Upp skulum órum sverðum,

Let us raise our swords,

Ulfs tannlituðr, glitra;

Wolf's tooth-painters, as they shine;

Eigum dáð at drýgja

Let us perform brave deeds

Í dalmiskunn fiska.

Now that the fish of the valleys1 thrive.2

Leiti upp til Lundar,

Each shall seek out Lund,

Lýða hverr sem bráðast;

Every man, in a hurry;

Gerum þar fyr setr sólar

There before the setting sun, we will

Seið ófagran vigra.

Make a loud clashing of spears.

Farit hefk blóðgum brandi,

I have gone with a bloody sword,

mér benþiðurr fylgði,

The bird of carrion3 followed me,

ok gjallanda geiri,

And a howling spear,

gangr vas harðr af víkingum.

In the swift Viking charge.

Gerðum reiðir róstur,

We fought furious battles,

Rann eldr of sjǫt manna;

Fire ran through men's homes;

Létum blóðga búka

We made bloody bodies

Í borghliði sœfask.

Slain by the city gates.
