Lyrics:
vaki þú
ef þú hlýða vill
söngum okkrum
ok sögnum fornum.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Sú kvern hét Grótti.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Sungu ok slungu snúðga-steini.
hélugbarði,
Jötnar Fenju ok Menju,
Mýsing bað,
þær mala salt.
Hann bað þær mala lengr…
hélugbarði,
Jötnar Fenju ok Menju,
Hann bað þær mala lengr…
þær mala salt… x2
vaki þú
ef þú hlýða vill
söngum okkrum
ok sögnum fornum.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i

Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Sungu ok slungu snúðga-steini.
Hann bað þær mala lengr…

Hann bað þær mala lengr…

Þær mólu litla hríð,
áðr niðr sukku skipin,
er særinn fellr í kvernaraugat,
Þá varð sær saltr. x2
vaki þú
ef þú hlýða vill
söngum okkrum
ok sögnum fornum.

Þá varð sær saltr.

ef þú hlýða vill.
Translation:
Wake you!
If you wilt listen to our songs and sagas old.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
This grinding wheel is called Grótti.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
They sung and swung the whirling rock.
On a boat,
Fenju et Menju, the giants, Mysing orders them
to grind salt.
Asked them to grind longer...
on a boat
Fenju et Menju, the giants,
he ordered them to grind more... salt so heavy... x2
Wake you!
If you wilt listen to our songs and sagas old.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
This grinding wheel is called Grótti.

Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
Hoï hoï i ho-i
They sung and swung the whirling rock.
He asked them to grind longer... to grind salt...
He ordered them to grind more... salt so heavy...
Boat runs aground,
and sinks,
a vortex falls into mill's eye,
And then it was that the sea first became salty. x2
Wake you!
If you wilt listen to our songs and sagas old.
Hoï hoï i ho-i
Hoï hoï i hoï-i-hi
