Translation of the song Ginnungagap artist Gealdýr

Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði

Of old was the age, when Ymir lived

Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir

Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were

Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn

Earth had not been, nor heaven above

Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi

But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere

Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána

The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south

Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr

Her right hand cast over heaven's rim

Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti

No knowledge she had where her home should be

Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti

The moon knew not what might was his

Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu

The stars knew not where their stations were
