41: Fylliz fjǫrvi

feigra manna,

rýðr ragna sjǫt

rauðum dreyra;

svǫrt verða sólskin

of sumur eftir,

veðr ǫll válynd.

Vituð ér enn—eða hvat?

[The wolf] is filled with the life-blood

of doomed men,

reddens the powers’ dwellings

with ruddy gore;

the sun-beams turn black

the following summers,

weather all woeful:

do you know yet, or what?

57: Sól tér sortna,

sígr fold í mar,

hverfa af himni

heiðar stjǫrnur.

Geisar eimi

ok aldrnara,

leikr hár hiti

við himin sjálfan.

The sun starts to turn black,

land sinks into sea;

the bright stars

scatter from the sky.

Steam spurts up

with what nourishes life,

flame flies high

against heaven itself.
