In eisiger vorzeit hast du einst gewacht
In icy pre-times you once woke up
Hast gungnir geworfen, warst speer in der schlacht
Hast gungnir threw, warst spear in the battle
Zogst durch die neun welten als wandrer bei nacht
Zogst through the nine worlds as a more walled at night
Hast uns mimirs heiligen brunnen wieder gebracht
Have brought us mimir's holy fountain again
Neun tage hingst du
Nine days you hung
In yggdrasils zweigen
In yggdrasils
Neun lange nächte
Nine long nights
Für 16 magische zeichen
For 16 magic characters
Magische zeichen um den tod zu beschwören
Magical signs to summon the death
Um kranke zu heilen und feinde zu stören
To cure sick and disturb enemies
Um flammen zu halten, die schwerter zu lenken
To keep flaming, to steer the heavier
Um geister zu fragen und die speere zu senken
To ask ghosts and lower the spear
Hávamál, verse 138, 139, 144
Hovamel, verse 138, 139, 144
Veit ek, at ek hekk
Veit ek, at ek hekk
Vindga meiði á
Vindga mei'i
Nætr allar níu
Nért allar n'u
Geiri undaðr
Geiri and a'r
Ok gefinn óðni
Ok gefinn'ni
Sjalfr sjalfum mér
Sjalfr sjalfum mér
Á þeim meiði
Eim mei'i
Er manngi veit
Er manngi veit
Hvers af rótum renn
Hvers af r'tum renn
Við hleifi mik sældu
Vi' hleifi mik s'ldu
Né við hornigi
Né vi' hornigi
Nýsta ek niðr
Nesto ek ni'r
Nam ek upp rúnar
Nam ek upp r nar
Æpandi nam
Apandi nam
Fell ek aftr þaðan
Fur ek aftr

Verwundet hing ich
Wounded I hung
Am sturmumtosten baum
Most storm-to-storm tree
Für neun lange nächte
For nine long nights
Verwundet vom speer
Wounded by the spear
Dem odin geopfert
Sacrificed to the odin
Habe mich meiner selbst geopfert
Have sacrificed myself
An jenem baum
On that tree
Von dem nicht mal die weisesten wissen
Not even the wisest know
Aus welcher wurzel er sproß
From which root he sprose
Sie gaben mir kein brot
They didn't give me bread
Sie gaben mir keinen met
They didn't give me a met
Ich spähte hinab
I peered down
Da nahm ich die runen
Then I took the runes
Schreiend nahm ich sie
Screaming I took her
Da fiel ich vom baum
Then I fell off the tree
Weisst du, wie man sie schreibt?
Do you know how to write them?
Weisst du, wie man sie deutet?
Do you know how to interpret them?
Weisst du, wie man sie mit farbe füllt?
Do you know how to fill them with color?
Weisst du, wie man sie prüft?
Do you know how to check them?
Weisst du, wie man sie befragt?
Do you know how to ask them?
Weisst du, wie man ihnen etwas darbringt?
Do you know how to offer them something?
Weisst du, wie man sie sendet?
Do you know how to send them?
Weisst du, wie man sie aufhält?
Do you know how to stop them?
