Sisters who demand obedience
Once I knelt before their image
Gifted my golden ring
Sisters who demand obedience
Now it has been a long time since the protection of the land
During the tumble I made landfall
Gifted my only son
Sisters who demand high blood
Now I give myself
Long since the blood-sacrifice
Long since the protection of the land
The giant wandered in from the east
From the north came the bloodline of Hølge
Made pure by the snow
Made wide by the sea
The strong and fertile
The only warriors left
Long since the land of gods was protected
Long since the line of Heimdall gave blood-sacrifice
Long since the sisters were honored
Trøndelag has only one reigning bloodline
Håløyg! And the earl is to rule
Cursed be the banner of the traitors
All virgins are mine
All falcons are mine
And the land and the forest and the sea!
The horse stamps its hoof
The earl has licked the bowl clean
Mock their white god
My god is red
As red as the dragon's heart
The maw open to strike
Sisters who guard high-born blood
Let the hailstorms take their eyes
Lightning and thunder their wit!
Irpa and Torgerd Hølge-bride
Give me my waving banner
Give me then my inheritance
Trøndelag is the land of the strong
Trøndelag is the nest
Whence the falcon arise again!
When the earl lifts his cloak up from the forest floor
It is to be colored with virgin blood
My face shall be marked with horse blood
The head-down of the falcon marked likewise
Blood! Blood! Blood!
Like rings in the water
And the soaring flight of the falcon
My swelling heart is broadened
The waves don't stop crashing
For the two sisters!
