Torsteins Kvæði

Vilja tit lýða og ljóð geva mær,Eg bróti av bragdartáttiKongur ráddi for Nøríki, hann tógva synir átti

Rennur og rennur foli mínGrønari grund og vín bar reyða lundStíg at dansa stundKátur leikar foli mínÁ grønari grund

Átt hevur hann sær tógva synir, báðar kann eg væl nevnaMagnus og hann Torstein jall,teir kunna væl dreingjum stevna

Jallurin gongur for kongin inn og sigur honum fráNú er Torstein, sonur tín, kvittaður londum frá

Um hann vil av ríkinum fara,eingin skal honum bannaHann kann ei síni forløg flý,sjálvur má hann tað sanna

Tað lovaði eg bæði faðir og móðir,tá eg í vøggu láEg skyldi ei ræðast tann heita eld,ei heldur tað hvassa stál

Vargurin liggur í vetrarmjøll,staddur í stórari neyðSo er tann maður, í víggi stendur,næstan tolir deyð

Frúgvin var bæði studd og leidd,inn í sín faðirs veldiLjómin skein av akslagrein,tað skyggir av tignareldi

Nú er hetta kvæðið endað,tað man góðum gegnaTorstein tók við ríkjunum báðumso við hvørju tegna

The Lay of Torstein

Listen and let there be silence,I quote from the ballad of the braveA king reigned over Norway, he had two sons

Runs and runs my foalOn green ground and wine bore the red groveRise to dance for a whileJoyful plays my foalOn green ground

He had two sons, I can mention them bothMagnus and Torstein the earl,they could match1any swain

The earl goes before the king and tells himTorstein your son has left the kingdom

If he wants to leave the kingdom,then no-one shall force him to stayHe can not escape his destinyhe has to figure that out for himself

I promised my father and my motherWhen I lay in the cradleI should not fear the hot firenor the sharp steel

The wolf lies in the winter's snow,finds himself in great distressLike the man who stands in a battle,and almost suffers death

The lady was both supported and lead,into her father's wealthThe light shone from her shoulders,gleamed like the purest gold

Now this ballad has ended,it may benefit the goodTorstein received both kingdomsand all the subjects therein.
