Original lyrics
Hinn Mikli Dreki
Ætt mín er mǫnnum ókunnig
Ek heiti gǫfugt dýr
Ek á engan fǫður né móður
Einn saman hefi ek farit
Hann gerðisk svá illr
At hann lagðisk út
Ok varð síðan at inum versta ormi
Ok liggr nú á því fé
Ætt mín er mǫnnum ókunnig
Ek heiti gǫfugt dýr
Ek á engan fǫður né móður
Einn saman hefi ek farit
Hann gerðisk svá illr
At hann lagðisk út
Ok varð síðan at inum versta ormi
Ok liggr nú á því fé
Ætt mín er mǫnnum ókunnig
Ek heiti gǫfugt dýr
Ek á engan fǫður né móður
Einn saman hefi ek farit
Hann gerðisk svá illr
At hann lagðisk út
Ok varð síðan at inum versta ormi
Ok liggr nú á því fé
Þú, Fáfnir, ligg í fjǫrbrotum
Þar er þik Hel hafi
Þú, Fáfnir, ligg í fjǫrbrotum
Þar er þik Hel hafi

The great dragon
My kin are unknown to men
I’m called “Noble Beast”
I have no father nor mother
I’ve travelled alone
He grew so evil
That he went to live in the wilderness
And then turned into a terrible lindworm
And now he lies on those riches
My kin are unknown to men
I’m called “Noble Beast”
I have no father nor mother
I’ve travelled alone
He grew so evil
That he went to live in the wilderness
And then turned into a terrible lindworm
And now he lies on those riches
My kin are unknown to men
I’m called “Noble Beast”
I have no father nor mother
I’ve travelled alone
He grew so evil
That he went to live in the wilderness
And then turned into a terrible lindworm
And now he lies on those riches
You, Fafnir, lie on the brink of death
Where Hel will take you
You, Fafnir, lie on the brink of death
Where Hel will take you
