I read a different transltion, similar meaning. Interesting about "naud" and "brisingeld". Context is so much with language. Thank you for your translation. Best regards!

I think the third line should be "the snake gnaws in the deep", as "ormen" comes from Old Norse / Norrønt "ormr" which is used for both "snake" and "worm". I prefer snake for this phrase because "ormen" is referring to Níðhǫggr, the snake/dragon that gnaws at a root of Yggdrasill. Other than that I really appreciate this translation!

A few of corrections: "Hug" is mind, not lust. Think of Huginn and Muninn (thought and memory). "Ormen" is best translated as "the serpent". "Orm" can refer to a dragon, snake or worm, but in this context it doesn't refer to a worm. "Gneg" means "gnaws", not chafes. The serpent gnaws in the ground, at the roots of Yggdrasil. Finally, "brisingeld" is an open fire like a bonfire, and not simply a fire from a burning branch or a fireplace.

I apologise for the rough translation, my vocabulary is a bit to small for translations. Pleace tell if you have any better sugestions.
I am quite stubborn, so I must insist that at the end they sing "NaudiR", not "Naud". It makes more sense, both considering the meaning and the title. Also, it is almost impossible for me to translate "naud", because it can have different translations depending on the context. It could be suffering or missery, or it cold be a wery strong need or desire. My problem is that as "Naud" does not fit in the context i cannot use context to translate.
You might notice how I translated "brisingeld" to "fire". Brising means eld means fire, so "brisingeld" is literaly "firefire". Brising is mostly a big fire, like a bonfire, but not always. Eld is all fire.
