Original Old Norse lyrics and English translation:
Höðr berr hávan hróðrbaðm þinig,
hann mun Baldri at bana verðaok Óðins son aldri ræna;
ok Óðins son aldri ræna;
Heim ríð þú, Óðinn, ok ver hróðigr,
svá komir manna meir aftr á vit,
er lauss Loki líðr ór böndum
ok ragnarök rjúfendr koma.
Rindr berr Vála í vestrsölum,
sá mun Óðins sonr einnættr vega:
hönd of þvær né höfuð kembir,
áðr á bál of berr Baldrs andskota;
Heim ríð þú, Óðinn, ok ver hróðigr,
svá komir manna meir aftr á vit,
er lauss Loki líðr ór böndum
ok ragnarök rjúfendr koma.

Hoth will bear the long spear that will kill him,
he will be the killer of your son Balder,
and will steal the life of Odin’s son.
and will steal the life of Odin’s son.
Ride home, Odin! Feel triumphant, for now.
But you will come for a second visit
when Loki breaks free from his chains,
and Ragnarök comes to end everything
Rind will give birth to Vali in Vestrsalir,
he will avenge Balder when he is only one night old.
He will neither comb his hair nor wash his hands till he puts Balder’s killer on the funeral pyre.
Ride home, Odin! Feel triumphant, for now.
But you will come for a second visit
when Loki breaks free from his chains,
and Ragnarök comes to end everything
