Heiemo sang her poem:
-Wake up you noble youngsters
The Water spirit heard it, striding on the sea
-Because you now have overslept
The Water spirit spoke to his helmsman
-Wake up you noble youngsters
Steer my ship to the Christian land
-Because you now have overslept
The Water spirit danced and Heiemo sang her poem:
-Wake up you noble youngsters
It pleased all the folks in the houses
-Because you now have overslept
Heiemo, Heiemo, quiet your sorrow
-Wake up you noble youngsters
Υou shall sleep in the arms of the water spirit.
-Because you now have overslept
