Rolandskvadet [English translation]
"Six of my swains will stay home
To guard the precious gold;
The other six will go to the heathen lands
With their cold iron.
They rode out of the Frankish lands
With dear lady in the saddle
Blow your horn, Olivant,
At the Roncevaux Pass.
They fought at Roncevaux Pass
For two to three days;
And the sun could not shine clear
Through the stench of men's blood.
They rode out of Frankish lands...
Roland placed the horn to his bloodied mouth
And blew with all his might.
The earth shook and mountains resounded
For three days and nights.
They rode out of Frankish lands...
