Kraka [English translation]

Heimer Heimer Build a beautiful harp, where Aslaug will stay

On Norwegian coast in the evening sun, Grima and Harke stand alone

Poor and without joy, they see the lonely golden harp

Never did they see more beautiful child, they covered her beauty with tar

Kraka was the name they gave her, slave on the farm she had to be

Long is Aslaugh’s road

Long does bliss await Kraka

West wind bird song women dances in flames shadow

The golden harp sings now longing, craftornaments for my heart

She hears the ship before sunrise

Do you dare to come to me Kraka, not naked nor dressed

Not sated nor fastingalone, yet in noman’s company

She let down her long hair, braided with a fish net

A bite of onion did not sate her, a raven was her company

Long is Aslaugh’s road

Long does bliss await Kraka
