My mother told me

Someday I will buy

Galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course to the haven

Hew many foemen

Hew many foemen

My mother told me

Some day I will buy (buy)

Galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow

Noble barque I steer

(Steady) Steady course to the haven

Hew many foemen

Hew many foemen

(My mother told me, my mother told me, my mother told me)

Tonight we dine in Valhalla

My mother told me

Some day I will buy (buy)

Galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow

Noble barque I steer

(Steady) Steady course to the haven

Hew many foemen

Hew many foemen

My mother told me

Some day I will buy (buy)

Galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow

Noble barque I steer

(Steady) Steady course to the haven

Hew many foemen

Hew many foemen

(My mother told me, my mother told me, my mother told me)
