Surma [English translation]

A frostbright battle dawned

A magnificent struggle

In which a hero of the fairytales

Steelsword, severesaber

Took the life of a horrible

Giant gargantuan

With the fire of his sword's light

With the goldbrim of his brass

Stroke twice in a handy way

Slashed thrice in a hurtful way

Left the beard to burn away

The hairs to wuther

Still while the flame was moving

The haunting fire blazing

The man-eater ferocious shouted

Screamed the boarish giantman

Still while the flame was moving

The haunting fire blazing

The man-eater ferocious shouted

Screamed the boarish giantman:

"I shall come back even if I burn

I shall come back from the flame!

Still while the flame is moving!

While the hounding fire is blazing!"

The charred tendons

The dark-burned hairs

The man thew away

Chucked the remnants to languish

To the north to the south

To the east lands to the west lands

These many blackened ones

Sandgrains very dark

I shall come back even if I burn

I shall come back from the flame!

The charred tendons

The dark-burned hairs

The man thew away

Chucked the remnants to languish

To the north to the south

To the east lands to the west lands

These many blackened ones

Sandgrains very dark

Now swoop as the gnats

Skim as the mosquito

Drink blood quite a lot

With the fire of his sword's light

With the goldbrim of his brass

Stroke twice in a handy way

Still while the flame was moving...
