I will bring home my bride today
soon we will be happy together at home
I am of dwarf family
and not worthy of her
But I am strong willed
The maiden I will own
Allvis is my name and underground I live
Thor is the father of my bride to be
he said then to me
that "this maid shall never
be brought home by you"
But I am strong willed
The maiden I will own
Thor sets a demand
that I share the wealth (?)
of knowledge that I have
Thor, he wants to know all
of heaven and elves, dwarves and sun
of giants and aesir, clouds and forests
And I am strong willed
The maiden I shall have
He won’t stop with this
and more he wants to know :
of winds and vanir, of neighing** and seas
of windlessness and muggy air
He nags and nags
of smooth and calm sea, of fire and flames
of forests burnt to the ground and deep ocean
and all in life
And I am strong willed
The maiden I shall have
And the night passed
and answers he got
and Thor said:
"Greatly have I deceived you, haha, dwarf
here in the hall, sun shines!"
