My Mother Told Me Jonathan Young (Ft. Bobby Bass (Wellermen) & Colm R. McGuinness)

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand upon the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

Þat mælti mín móðir
At mér skyldi kaupa
Fley ok fagrar árar
Fara á brott með víkingum

Standa upp í stafni
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Hǫggva mann ok annan
Hǫggva mann ok annan

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores
