"Who is this mighty man outside |
|
The one who killed the trolls? |
|
Will he be staying here tonight |
|
Or turning where the thunder rolls?" |
|
[Thor:] |
|
"The thunder rolls whereever I travel on my way |
|
Tonight I will be here don't cry |
|
Save you are to stay" |
|
[Father:] |
|
"You are a lord that I can see |
|
A god you are as well |
|
What is your mighty name to be? |
|
This you're bound to tell" |
|
[Refrain:] |
|
[Thor:] |
|
"I'm Thor, the mighty god |
|
The lord of rain and storm |
|
Now build a fire |
|
For feast it shall be warm" |
|
[Father:] |
|
"There is no feast we have no meat |
|
My lord, I am afraid to say |
|
Hunger will be in our seat |
|
There is no feast today" |
|
[Thor:] |
|
"My goat will give a live for all |
|
So we have all we need |
|
I'll kill it now, a roast, I call |
|
My friend, for us you'll bleed |
|
Don't break a bone of him tonight |
|
Not the smallest one you'll harm |
|
If you do, you little wight |
|
The mighty Thor will not be calm" |
|
[Child:] |
|
"Delicious is the meal for us |
|
The marrow I would greed |
|
I'll break a little bone and thus |
|
Fullfill my baneful need" |
|
The mighty Thor revived his friend |
|
In the morning with his hammer |
|
To bring him to the Aesirs land |
|
In the used and wonted manner |
|
[Thor:] |
|
"Who broke his leg the night before? |
|
I told you not to do |
|
I told you what will be afore |
|
My rage now comes to you" |
|
The goat's alive again but lame |
|
One of you has harmed a bone |
|
One of you is bearing blame |
|
He will be punished, he alone" |
|
[Child:] |
|
"I was the one I broke the leg |
|
My lust was just too big |
|
I fear there is no use to beg |
|
To your decision I will stick" |
|
[Thor:] |
|
"Thjalfi you will follow brave |
|
On each and every way |
|
No matter how your soul will crave |
|
For each and every day" |
