Lyrics (Icelandic):
[Verse 1]
Víkings sál, í stormum sterk,
Ragnarr, þinn draumur lifir merk.
Undir himni, blóði svarð,
Járn og sverð þinn vegu varð.
[Chorus]
Þú rís í dýrð með eld og stríð,
Við hafsins fár þitt nafn er prýð.
Þú, lofðir hetja, lifir hár,
Sagnir þínar dýpt ei far.
[Verse 2]
Fyrir víg og veislu kennd,
Nornir settu drauma end.
Í orrustu stóðstu hraust,
Dauðinn þinn var engin draust.
[Chorus]
Þú rís í dýrð með eld og stríð,
Við hafsins fár þitt nafn er prýð.
Þú, lofðir hetja, lifir hár,
Sagnir þínar dýpt ei far.
[Verse 3]
Snáka dal þú seinast fann,
Ótta skortir vopna mann.
Med lóð og sverðum þú í frið,
Valkyrjur þig bjóða við.
[Chorus]
Þú rís í dýrð með eld og stríð,
Við hafsins fár þitt nafn er prýð.
Þú, lofðir hetja, lifir hár,
Sagnir þínar dýpt ei far.
[Chorus (Repeat)]
Þú rís í dýrð með eld og stríð,
Við hafsins fár þitt nafn er prýð.
Þú, lofðir hetja, lifir hár,
Sagnir þínar dýpt ei far.
[End]

Lyrics (English translation):
[Verse 1]
A Viking sail, in storms stands strong,
Ragnar’s dream, it lives on long.
Beneath the sky, in blood-soaked land,
Iron and sword mark where you stand.
[Chorus]
You rise in glory, fire and fight,
Upon the seas, your name shines bright.
You, famed as hero, live so high,
Your tales in depths will never die.
[Verse 2]
For feasts of war, and final call,
The Norns would see your fate through all.
In battle fierce, you held your ground,
Your fearless death, no shame was found.
[Chorus]
You rise in glory, fire, and fight,
Upon the seas, your name shines bright.
You, famed as hero, live so high,
Your tales in depths will never die.
[Verse 3]
In serpent’s den, your last breath took,
A warrior’s heart, no fear to look.
With weight and sword, you found your peace,
The Valkyries’ call for your release.
[Chorus]
You rise in glory, fire, and fight,
Upon the seas, your name shines bright.
You, famed as hero, live so high,
Your tales in depths will never die.
[Chorus (Repeat)]
You rise in glory, fire, and fight,
Upon the seas, your name shines bright.
You, famed as hero, live so high,
Your tales in depths will never die.
[End]
