Original lyrics
Galgaldr
Bræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask,
munu systrungar sifjum spitla;
hart er í heimi, hórdómr mikitl
skeggöld, skalmöld, skildir ro klofnir,
vindöld, vargöld, áðr veröld steypisk;
mun engi maðr öðrum þyrma.
Svört verða sölskin um sumur eftir
Skeggöld, skalmöld, vindöld, vargöld
Svört verða sölskin um sumur eftir
Gal anda viðr,
gangla viðr,
riðanda viðr,
viðr rinnanda,
viðr sitjanda,
viðr signianda,
viðr faranda,
viðr fluganda,
skal alta fyrna ok um döya
Sér hon upp koma öðru sinni
jörð ór ægi iðjagræna
fatla forsar flýgr örn yfir
gá er i á fjatli fiska veiðir
um aldrdaga ynðis njóta

Miley_LovatoIncantation chant
Brothers will fight their own brothers and be their kin's slayers,
children of sisters will betray their relations:
hardness is in the world, adultery abounds
axe age, sword age, shields are cleft asunder,
wind age, wolf age, before the world plunges;
no man will spare another.
Sunshines becomes dark in summers after
Axe age, sword age, wind age, wolf age
Sunshines becomes dark in summers after
Chant with spirit,
confess to,
ride beside,
flow together,
sit/prepare beside,
sing with
attain together,
fly beside
Everything shall wither and for a while die
She(Volva) sees coming up a second time
earth from the sea, greencoated again
flowing waterfalls, flying eagle above
the one who in mountains hunt fish
and for eternity enjoy happiness.
