Lyrics:

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

Sal veit ek standa,
sólu fegra, gulli betra.
fiar skulu dyggvar, dróttir byggja,
ok of aldrdaga, ynðis njóta.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

Fimm hundrað dura
ok of fjórum tögum,
svá hygg ek á Valhöllu vera.
Átta hundruð einherjar
ganga senn ór einum durum
Þá er Þeir fara með vitni at vega.

Sal veit ek standa,
sólu fegra, gulli betra,
fiarskulu dyggvar, dróttir byggja,
ok of aldrdaga, ynðis njóta.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

Allir einherjar
Óðins túnum í
höggvask hverjan dag.
Val Þeir kjósa
ok ríða vígi frá,
sitja meir um sáttir saman.

Sal veit ek standa,
sólufegra, gulli betra,
fiar skulu dyggvar, dróttir byggja,
ok of aldrdaga, ynðis njóta.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

Translation:

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

A hall I know standing,
Than the sun fairer, Than gold better,
There shall good, People dwell,
And forever, Delights enjoy.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

Five hundred doors,
and forty eke, I think,
are in Valhalla.
Eight hundred Einherjar
will at once from each door go,
when they issue with the wolf to fight.

A hall I know, standing
Than the sun fairer, Than gold better,
There shall good, People dwell,
And forever, Delights enjoy.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla

The heroes all
in Odin's hall
Each day to fight go forth.
They fell each other
and fare from the fight,
All healed full soon to sit.

A hall I know, standing
Than the sun fairer, Than gold better,
There shall good, People dwell,
And forever, Delights enjoy.

Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
Ó Valhalla
