There was a man called Thorvald who was the father
of Erik the Red/ He and Erik left their home in Jaedern,
in Norway,/ because of some killings and went to Iceland,/
which had been extensively settles by then/ Erik married
Thjodhild and moved south to make his home at Erikstead,/
near Vatnhorn/ They had a son called Leif// He was
our leader/ He took us to conquest/ He said// Folk,
Skal vi gå, kom med meg, folk,
følg meg og slå alle og slå/ Vi er kraften,
ni skal tro, vi er vikingene og menn av nord/ Dra ut
hornene og slå og tenk at ingen aldri stopper oss!
!// Erik's wife didn't want to sleep with this heathen
man, but he respected her// Folk... og tenk at han var en hedensk man
