Fagran Fljotan Folen [English translation]

Do you hear, fair and good horse,

I ask you a single question:1

"How much would you like to have

of shining gold2

for you to cross the inlet?"3

The fair and good horse answered,

hardheartedly:4

"I would like your right hand,

but then I will carry you across."

Åsmund Frægdegjevar,

whom God had advised, answered:

"Of course you will get my right hand,

but then you must also carry us both."

1. Lit. 'one word'2. Lit. 'yellow-ish gold'3. Lit. 'to carry yourself over the inlet'4. I'm not completely sure about this line. An idiom in Nynorsk goes 'hard i hugen' and means 'hardhearted.' However, 'tot' may be the same as Nynorsk 'tute' (i.e. to weep), however, that doesn't make much sense in this context.
