Sowelu [English translation]

Shield of ships

shining halo

sorrow of ice

whirling wheel

Sköll is the name of a wolf

who follows the fair-wheel

horses drag

a shining god

Svalinn is the name of

what stands before the sun

cliffs and surf [would] burn

[if] it fell away

Composed on a shield, carved

Árvakr's ear

Alsviðr's hoof

the wheel that whirls

I carved two Sowelo 1

I painted two Sowelo

I chanted two Sowelo

The sun paints hills and hillocks

hollows, halls, swards,

hills and dwellings scatter light

lifts the soul from torpor.

1. "Tveimar" is possibly a modernized spelling of "tveimr", so my best guess is that the writer meant "two Sowelo [runes]".
