Jólanótt
Upp á heiðina kólnar veðrið og drífr
Þat er hinn sjaunda dag jóla
Drekkum úti jól, ef vér viljum ráða
Eldar eru á miðju gólfi í hofinu
Ok berask full um eld
Drekkum úti jól, ef vér viljum ráða
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Drekkum úti jól, ef vér viljum ráða
Skal fyrst Óðins full, skal þat drekka til sigrs
En síðan Njarðar full ok Freys full
Til árs ok friðar
Þá er mǫrgum mǫnnum títt at drekka þarnæst Braga full
Menn drekka ok full frænda sinna
Drekkum úti jól, ef vér viljum ráða
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Sól er skýja skjǫldr ok skínandi rǫðull
Ísa aldrtregi, rota siklingr
Þá man sól renna upp, þá man sól renna upp
Þau munu líta til sólarinnar, rota siklingr
Þá man sól renna upp, þá man sól renna upp
Þau munu líta til sólarinnar, rota siklingr
Þá man sól renna upp, þá man sól renna upp
Þau munu líta til sólarinnar, rota siklingr
Þá man sól renna upp, þá man sól renna upp
Þau munu líta til sólarinnar, rota siklingr
Rota siklingr, rota siklingr
Translation
Yule night
The cold is growing on the heath, and the snow is storming
It’s the seventh day of Yule
Let’s toast to Yule if we want to rule
There’s a fireplace in the middle of the temple
And beakers are going around the fire
Let’s toast to Yule if we want to rule
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
Let’s toast to Yule if we want to rule
First, they toast to Odin, they toast to victory
And then to Njörðr and Frey
To peace and a good year
Then it’s use for many to toast to Bragi
They also toast to their friends
Let’s toast to Yule if we want to rule
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
The sun is the shield of the clouds and a shining light
Destroyer of ice, master of the wheel
Then the sun will rise, then the sun will rise
They will look at the dawn, master of the wheel
Then the sun will rise, then the sun will rise
They will look at the dawn, master of the wheel
Then the sun will rise, then the sun will rise
They will look at the dawn, master of the wheel
Then the sun will rise, then the sun will rise
They will look at the dawn, master of the wheel
Master of the wheel, master of the wheel
