Othan [Transliteration]

She would tie cloves and onions cooking, singing as a flower in the fields [Repeated Incantation]

I know the eleventh:

if I must lead old friends

to battle,

I sing under the shields,

and they go victoriously:

safe to the battle,

safe from the battle,

they come safe from everywhere.

I know the twelfth:

if I see up in a tree

a hanged corpse swinging,

I carve

and colour the runes

that the man moves

and speaks with me.

I know the thirteenth:

if I will throw water

on a young warrior,

he cannot fall,

though he may come to battle

the man does not fall before swords.

[Elder Chant]

Now the sayings of Har are spoken

in Har's hall,

very needful to the sons of men,

harmful to the sons of giants.

Hail to him who spoke!

Hail to him who understands!

Let him benefit who took them!

Blessings on those who listened!

Original Script

Hariuha laþu laukar gakar alu ole lule laukar

Þat kann ek it ellipta

ef ek skal til orrostu

leiða langvini

undir randir ek gel

en þeir með ríki fara

heilir hildar til

heilir hildi frá

koma þeir heilir hvaðan

Þat kann ek it tólpta

ef ek sé á tré uppi

váfa virgilná

svá ek ríst

ok í rúnum fák

at sá gengr gumi

ok mælir við mik

Þat kann ek it þrettánda

ef ek skal þegn ungan

verpa vatni á

munat hann falla

þótt hann í fólk komi

hnígra sá halr fyr hjörum

[Elder Chant]

Nú era Háva mál

kveðin Háva höllu í

allþörf ýta sonum

óþörf jötna sonum

heill sá er kvað

heill sá er kann

njóti sá er nam

heilir þeirs hlýddu
