1. Yet, even though my father was called Hvinngester,
he never put a fence around horse-phalli
like Sigurðr sýr; he was your father!
2. Many a sword-reddener claims
that a farmer's daughter wad born
to cause sorrow.
I care little for men's fear.
Yet, if a certain fire-Gefn denies me sleep,
it is certainly the sagacious sister of the ruler
who causes my unrest.

1. Enn þótt héti Hvinngestr faðir minn,
gerði eigi sá garð of hestreðr,
sem Sigurðr sýr; sá vas þinn faðir!
2. Margr kveðr sér at sorgum
sverðrjóðr alin* verða
- uggik allítt seggja
ótta - búkarls dóttur.
Enn, ef einhver bannar
eld-Gefn fyr mér svefna,
víst veldr siklings systir
svinn andvöku minni.
