Sigurdlied [English translation]

Would you (all) like to hear my song?

There is much I can tell you

About the great golden age.

About the days of fathers past.

Brunhilde sits in the great hall,

Resplendent for all to see

No one can interest

The proud woman as a suitor

Hear this, Brunhilde, my daughter,

You've brought me shame1

You don't choose any suitor,

Not one of the lords of all the lands.

Sigurd struck the dragon true

Grani carried gold from the heath

Hush now, my father, hold your peace

Truth is here for you to hear

I've chosen for myself

A hero far in the east

No one has won greater riches

No one has won higher honor

Sigurd, who vanquished the dragon,

Only to him shall I belong.

Sigurd struck the dragon true

Grani carried gold from the heath

A Norn found this out for me,

Laying that knowledge in my heart,

That I will await nine winters for him,

For he who I have not yet seen.

Set for me a high seat

High on the bleak mountain

Have it adorned with runes

By dwarfs knowing of magic.

Sigurd struck the dragon true

Grani carried gold from the heath

No one rode on Brunhilde's Mountain

Only Sigurd the Joyful,

Leaps on Grani, his steed,

Through smoke and a ring of fire

Brunhilde sits on a golden seat

Iron heavy around her body

Sigurd swings his sharp sword,

He cuts the chains to pieces

Sigurd struck the dragon true

Grani carried gold from the heath

1. literally, "you're bringing me in shame"
