Versuri Mehrune Dagon – The Rune-Reeve's Lay lyrics
[Verse 1]
ᚠ – Fé breeds wealth, cattle low,
fire in the hearth, gold’s glow;
ᚢ – Úr is the aurochs, iron rain,
slag from the forge, might of men.
[Verse 2]
ᚦ – Þurs causes woe, thistle-sharp,
women’s bale, giant’s harp;
ᚨ – Áss is the god-mouth, Allfather’s breath,
ridge of the gods, rider of death.
[Verse 3]
ᚱ – Reið is the wagon, rider’s joy,
hall-way wandering, wheel’s employ;
ᚲ – Kaun is the ulcer, children’s bane,
sickness that fells the fair and the vain.
[Verse 4]
ᚷ – Gifu is gift, glory’s bond,
grace between men, gold beyond;
ᚹ – Wyn is the joy that wounds no wight,
wish fulfilled in heart’s delight.
[Verse 5]
ᚺ – Hagal hails down, cold grain white,
serpent’s sickness, storm of night;
ᚾ – Nauð is the need-fire, fetter’s smart,
toil of the thrall, grief of heart.
[Verse 6]
ᛁ – Ísa is ice, iron-cold bridge,
one-legged path on river’s ridge;
ᛃ – Jéra, the harvest, year’s good yield,
Aven’s reward on fruitful field.
[Verse 7]
ᛇ – Éihwaz the yew, enduring bow,
axis of worlds, green and slow;
ᛈ – Perþro the lot-cup, hidden fate,
what weirder women weave too late.
[Verse 8]
ᛉ – Elgr the elk, moorland shield,
algiz the horns that ward the field;
ᛋ – Sól is the sun, shield of sky,
victory’s light that never will die.
[Verse 9]
ᛏ – Týr is one-handed, thing of war,
God above men, law’s bright star;
ᛒ – Bjarkan birch, brightest leaf,
woman’s guard, yet bearer of grief.
[Verse 10]
ᛗ – Maðr is mankind, mirth of dust,
hawk’s glad brother, earth’s last trust;
ᛚ – Lögr is the lake, waterfall’s blade,
in the end all to Hel are conveyed.
