Ved Stanford Brua

Hear Harald Sigurdsson, the dream signs from
Brother Olav Matkhugen you must hide now, it's bad
You go, Don't listen to Toste Jarl, where he
Urges to go to England, Tord had a strange dream
And many dreams are badly interpreted

In the spring of 1066 a journey was prepared
Power-hungry king ruled in Norway, and called for a levy
Throughout the land. A hundred and ninety-nine ships
To the Earl of Orkney they sailed west, and Earl Torfinn's
Sons led a hundred more longships

They arrived at the town of York when the first battle
Roared. Earl Muru-Kåre fell and Earl Valtjov he
Fled. Harald and Toste led the way, but Valtjov
Earl he swore to them, the knights of the king's table
They meet at Stamford Bridge

Harald and Toste the next day went without armor
When far out there the sun gleamed on many helmets and mail
It's the English king, I know the Thingmannalid
Their clothes, the Norwegian army is puzzled, they stopped at
Stamford Bridge

They decided to let all the counties gather together
While Styrkår rode to the ships as fast as he
Could. But to gain time eventually, they asked
Tjodolv the strong to stop the king's men
Out there on Stamford Bridge

And for a long time Tjodolv held his ground against
The Anglo-Saxon king, but eventually with spears they pierced
Through. Then the second battle in fury broke out
While Öystein and Styrkår and all the men from the ships
Ran to reach in time to Stamford Bridge

Harald went ahead of the formation and struck on both sides
When a gray goose-feathered arrow became the
Death of the Norwegian king. When Öystein and Styrkår they arrived, fully dressed
In armor all men exhausted and barely fought
On the ground at Stamford Bridge

When the third battle began, it was called Orreira and the great
Loss of men occurred but the Norwegians had to flee. So it happened that
William's men from the Kingdom of France gained victory and
The Norse Allthing court fell there at Stamford Bridge
