[Burzum - Jóln Deities lyrics]
Ek man jötna ár of borna
Þá er forðum mik fædda höfðu
Níu man ek heima níu íviðjur
Mjötvið mæran fyr mold neðan
Ár var alda þar er ekki var
Var-a sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga en gras hvergi
Áðr Burs synir bjöðum of yppðu
Þeir er Miðgarð mæran skópu
Sól skein sunnan á salar steina
Þá var grund gróin grænum lauki
Sól varp sunnan sinni mána
Hendi inni hægri um himinjöður
Sól þat né vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat né vissi hvat hann megins átti
Stjörnur þat né vissu hvar þær staði áttu
Þá gengu regin öll á rökstóla
Ginnheilög goð ok um þat gættusk
Nótt ok niðjum nöfn of gáfu
Morgin hétu ok miðjan dag
Undorn ok aftan árum at telja
Hittusk æsir á Iðavelli
Þeir er hörg ok hof hátimbruðu
Afla lögðu auð smíðuðu
Tangir skópu ok tól gørðu
Ár var alda þar er ekki var
Var-a sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga en gras hvergi
Áðr Burs synir bjöðum of yppðu
Þeir er Miðgarð mæran skópu
Sól skein sunnan á salar steina
Þá var grund gróin grænum lauki
Sól varp sunnan sinni mána
Hendi inni hægri um himinjöður
Sól þat né vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat né vissi hvat hann megins átti
(i "fadingen":) stjörnur þat né vissu
Hvar þær staði áttu
I remember jötnar borned before time
In primeal time they fostered me
Nine worlds I remember
Nine jötunn maidens (who dwells in the wood)
Before the measure-tree grew from the mold
Before time it'self there was nothing
No sand, nor sea nor cool waves
Earth existed not at all nor the sky above
Just the gaping abyss but vegetation nowhere
Until Borrs sons raised the lands
They created Midgard our praised world
The sun shone from the south
Onto their stone halls then the ground grew
Green with plants
The sun hurled from the south with the moon
Her right hand landed over the sky horizon
The sun did not know where her hall was
The moon did not know what his stenght was
The stars did not know
Where their places was
Then all powers went to the judgment-chairs
The most holy gods and they declared that
Night and hours should be given names
Morning also and midday
Afternoon and evening to tell time
The Æsir met at Ithavoll
They made sanctuaries and high temples
Made forges precious treasures
Shaped tongs and similar tools
Before time it'self there was nothing
No sand, nor sea nor cool waves
Earth existed not at all nor the sky above
Just the gaping abyss but vegetation nowhere
Until Borrs sons raised the lands
They created Midgard our praised world
The sun shone from south
Onto their stone halls then the ground grew
Green with plants
The sun hurled from the south with the moon
Her right hand landed over the sky horizon
The sun did not know where her hall was
The moon did not know what his stenght was
(in "the fading":) the stars did know know
Where their places was
