“Jeg kan finde i mit Hjerte, / At min Sjæl har Trøst deraf, / Som kan lindre al min Smerte, / Naar jeg mindes kun din Grav, / Og betænker, hvor du laa / Udi Dødsens mørke Vraa, / Og stod op med Kraft og Ære, / Hvad kan større Glæde være?”

I can find in my heart / That my soul finds consolation / Capable of soothing all my pain, / When only I reminisce about your grave / And consider where you lay / In the dark corner/hidden place of death, / And got up with power and honour, / What can be of greater joy?

“Han […] kom til Vaade, / Af Himlen ned, o under overmaade, / Vort Kiød og Blod, ja Dødsens Vee oc Plage / Paa sig at tage.”

Thereafter, I killed king Hjærne ["brain"] / For Danes did not want that thrall; / The king of Norway was called Asmund / Him, I gave his wound of death; / I subsequently died from the injury of old age / I was placed in the field under a rock.
