Translation
Gleipnir
From Loki Fenrir was born
Full of arrogance it was said
The world was foggy when he was birthed
A heavy burden laid on the world
Now it was noticed that
The poor whelp grew fast
Time was scanty, doubt was none
Promptly leashed the beast should be
Firstly Læðing the gods were given
The leash was threaded round Fenrir’s neck
The wolf was forceful, ugly, hairy
With easy wrath the leash he broke.
When Drómi harnessed Fenrir
A false judgement upon the wolf.
With claws and a thundering crash
That honest leash the wolf tore.
The cat’s footsteps, the woman’s beard,
My magic over this I lay.
The bear’s sinews, the mountain’s roots
Now we wait under the cover of shadow.
The bird’s spit, the fish’s breath,
Simple creation for a dwarf.
A month I wandered many streets,
My payment was that very leash.
The leash is thinner than all the others,
Rare and magical dwarfish construct.
To the island of Lyngvi Fenrir was taken,
Loose he causes much mischief.
Have in my hands the leash Gleipnir
Look into his evil eyes.
Trusting in Óðinn, Týr and Sleipnir,
They’ll take me there and back again.
The leash is thinner than all leashes,
A Rare and magical dwarfish construct.
Before they Fenrir to Lyngvi took
Loose he causes much mischief.
I have in my hands the leash Gleipnir.
Look into his evil eyes.
Trusting in Óðinn, Týr and Sleipnir
Take me there and back again.
