Vikings - My Mother Told Me        Perły i Łotry
 
Original lyrics written by Egill Skallagrímsson
 
[Verse 1]
D#m        B         F#             D#m
My mother told me,  Someday I would buy,
D#m               B     G#m              D#m
Galley with good oars,  Sail to distant shores.
 D#m             B      G#m            D#m
Stand up on the prow,  Noble barque I steer,
 D#m                   B     D#m      D#m
Steady course to the haven,  Hew many foe-men,
D#m      D#m
Hew many foe-men.
 
[Verse 2]
D#m        B         F#                D#m
My Father told me,  Someday son you'll die,
D#m          B         G#m               D#m
Many came before,  And died to keep our shores.
 D#m                    B       G#m                D#m
Their blood soaks the ground,  Bravely gave their lives,
 D#m               B                       D#m               D#m
Legends fall to defend their home,  Their spirits will rise again.
       D#m               D#m
Their spirits will rise again.
 
[Original language verse 1]
D#m            B       F#             D#m
Þat mælti mín móðir,   at mér skyldi kaupa,
D#m              B         G#m            D#m
fara brott með víkingum,   fley ok fagrar árar,
D#m              B         D#m              B
fara brott með víkingum,   fara brott með víkingum,
 
[Original language verse 2]
 D#m          B        G#m          D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,   standa upp í stafni,
 D#m          B         D#m           D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,    halda svá til hafnar,
 D#m          B         D#m           D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,    halda svá til hafnar,
 D#m            D#m     D#m            D#m
höggva mann ok annan,   höggva mann ok annan.
 
[Original language verse 3 faster]
D#m            B       F#             D#m
Þat mælti mín móðir,   at mér skyldi kaupa,
D#m              B         G#m            D#m
fara brott með víkingum,   fley ok fagrar árar,
D#m              B         D#m              B
fara brott með víkingum,   fara brott með víkingum,
 
[Original language verse 4]
 D#m          B        G#m          D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,   standa upp í stafni,
 D#m          B         D#m           D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,    halda svá til hafnar,
 D#m          B         D#m           D#m
stýra dýrum knerri,    halda svá til hafnar,
 D#m            D#m     D#m            D#m
höggva mann ok annan,   höggva mann ok annan.
 
[Original language Outro]
 D#m            D#m       D#m            D#m
fara brott með víkingum,  höggva mann ok annan.
