Original Old Norse lyrics and English translation:
Ráðum'k þér, Loddfáfnir,
en þú ráð nemir,
njóta mundu ef þú nemr,
þér munu góð, ef þú getr:
Hvar's þú bǫl kannt,
kveð þú þér bǫlvi at
ok gef-at þínum fjándum frið.
Ráðumk þér, Loddfáfnir,
en þú ráð nemir,
njóta mundu, ef þú nemr,
þér munu góð, ef þú getr:
Illu feginn ver þú aldregi,
en lát þér at góðu getit.
Ráðumk þér, Loddfáfnir,
en þú ráð nemir,
njóta mundu, ef þú nemr,
þér munu góð, ef þú getr:
Upp líta
skal-at-tu í orrustu ~
gjalti glíkir
verða gumna synir ~
síðr þitt of heilli halir.

I councel you Loddfafnir,
if you take my advice,
you'll profit if you'll learn it,
it'll do you good if you remember it:
When you are at war,
call it war,
and give your enemies no peace.
I councel you Loddfafnir,
if you take my advice,
you'll profit if you'll learn it,
it'll do you good if you remember it:
To do evil brings no lasting pleasure;
to do good will make you glad.
I councel you Loddfafnir,
if you take my advice,
you'll profit if you'll learn it,
it'll do you good if you remember it:
Never raise your eyes when battle is raging,
and the sons of men are filled with frenzy,
lest they bewitch your wits.
