Lyrics
For ten long days, we're at sea
Embarking on a ten-day sea journey
Rowing as hard as we can
Exerting maximum effort in rowing
We will make our enemy flee
Intending to force the enemy to retreat
Soon we will own their lands
Anticipating ownership of the enemy's lands
We dock upon the distant shores
Arriving at distant shores
With our swords drawn, ready to fight
Prepared for battle with drawn swords
We hail the mighty Gods of war
Paying homage to war deities
Their warriors cannot match our might
Confident that their strength surpasses enemy warriors
We will sail across the open seas
Planning to navigate open seas
On a voyage to shores afar
Embarking on a distant voyage
We'll conquer the distant lands
Intending to conquer faraway lands
We're guided by the stars
Seeking guidance from celestial bodies
We wield our armor, swords, and shields
Equipping with armor, swords, and shields
And chart our distant course
Planning and navigating a distant course
We make a sacrifice to the Æsir
Offering a sacrifice to the Æsir (Norse gods)
And strike the water with our oars
Using oars to propel through the water
We sail through a treacherous storm
Navigating through a dangerous storm
And lose most of our gold
Experiencing loss of valuable possessions, particularly gold
But it's the will of the Norns
Accepting fate guided by the Norns (Norse fate goddesses)
We are sailing home
Heading back home despite challenges
We will sail across the open seas
Reiterating the intent to sail across open seas
On a voyage to shores afar
Continuing the voyage to distant shores
We'll conquer the distant lands
Persisting in the goal to conquer faraway lands
We're guided by the stars
Continuing reliance on celestial guidance
We will sail across the open seas
Repeating the commitment to sail across open seas
On a voyage to shores afar
Continuing the journey to distant shores
We'll conquer the distant lands
Reiterating the determination to conquer distant lands
We're guided by the stars
Persisting in seeking guidance from the stars
