O Freyja du skona, du horliga Dam
Du krona bland alla Nordens gudinnor
Nu lovar dig din dotter sitt hjorta och sin hand
Du vackrare on alla jordens drottningar
Jag svor vid Brisingmen och ditt hel'ga namn
Vid runora pŒ sten och trod som stŒr i Rigmors land
Att aldrig jag ska dig overgiva!
O Freya, thou lovely bright Goddess of the North
O lovelier than any queen upon the Earth
Fair jewel that shines within the crown of all my ancestry
Now promises thy daughter heart and hand to thee
I swear by Brisingamen and by thy holy name
By all the runes on stone and tree that stands in Rigmor's land
That never thy daughter shall forsake thee!
