Brede seil over Nordsjø går [English translation]
Broad sails moves across the North Sea
High up on the stronghold in the morning stands
Erling Skjalgsson from Sole
Gazing out across the sea towards Denmark
"Isn´t Olav Trygvason coming?"
Fiftysix dragons(ships) layed there
The sails were lowered, towards Denmark they saw
Sunburned men, then it was shouted :
"Where is Ormen Lange?”(Olav Trygvasons longship)
“Isn´t Olav Trygvason coming?”
When the sun rose the next morning
There was no mast in sight on the sea
Loud shouts sounded like a storm:
"Where is Ormen Lange?”
“Isn´t Olav Trygvason coming?”x2
Silently, silently at the same moment
All stood,men rose from the bottom of the sea
Sloshed like the sighs of the fleet:
"Ormen Lange is captured,
Olav Trygvason has fallen"
