Kraka [English translation]

Heimer, Heimer, build a beautiful harp, where Aslaug shall live

By Norway's coast in the evening's sun, Grima and Harke stood alone

They were poor and without fortune, they see the golden harp alone

Never a fairer child they saw, her beauty they covered with tar

They gave her the name Kraka, she were to be a slave on the farm

Long, long, is the way for Aslaug

Long waits happiness for Kraka

Long, long, is the way for Aslaug

Long waits happiness for Kraka

(Heimer, Heimer!)

Western windbird

Singing woman dances in the shadow of the flame

The golden harp sings now

Longing

Forge my hearts jewelery

Hears the ship before the sun rises

Dare you, Kraka, to come to me, neither naked or clothed?

Neither full nor fasting, not alone, but not with any man?

She threw her long hair out, braided in with nets

The onions bite did not satiate her, a raven was her follower

Long, long, is the way for Aslaug

Long waits happiness for Kraka

Long, long, is the way for Aslaug

Long waits happiness for Kraka
