Othan lyrics

[Hariuha laþu laukar gakar alu ole lule laukar]
 
Þat kann ek it ellifta:
ef ek skal til orrostu
leiða langvini,
und randir ek gel,
en þeir með ríki fara
heilir hildar til,
heilir hildi frá,
koma þeir heilir hvaðan.
 
Þat kann ek it fimmta:
ef ek sé af fári skotinn
flein í folki vaða,
fýgr-a hann svá stinnt,
at ek stöðvig-a-k,
ef ek hann sjónum of sék.

It would be easier to translate if you had added the lyrics ;)
Well, found them beneath some YT-vid (which I added as well).

It's part of the Hávamál, so finding translations on it should be easy.

What is this? Am I missing something? It is the same song.

'Tis indeed. They release a new version of it in their new album coming out in June.

Welcome. It also might have been a bug; normally empty entries can't be added.

That's right, they are in the Hávamál, they are the eleventh and the fifth spells of odin.
What I do not understand is the choir, or I did not find it ... (Hariuha laþu laukar gakar alu ole lule laukar), unless it's some song or something else

I think that part refers to some runic inscriptions. At least "alu" and "laukar".

According to Google translating from Icelandic, it says something about making onion breads
XD

Lol. Now that's unlikely ;)

I'd assume it's Germanic or West or North Germanic.

"Ale, ale, onions" or "Beer, beer, onions", was a widely used and attested old norse chant referring to the intoxicating properties of the beer and the connection it created to the worlds of gods, and the health-giving properties of onions. Therefore "Laukar" could also mean just "good health" or "healing".

From ancient times and into the Middle Ages, both adults and children regulary drank beer from morning to night, partly because the water was often polluted and tasted bad. However, this did not mean that people were drunk all day, because the beer at that time was far weaker than what is today. In addition, beer was drunk with heavy food and was associated with health and well-being and/or a sacred experience.

Cant find a good source in english, but for those who understand Norwegian:
