    Heed my words, all classes of men

    You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall
    Of the oldest deeds of gods and men
    The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea
    The bright stars fall out of the sky
    Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil
    A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds
    Brothers will fight one another and kill one another
    Cousins will break peace with one another
    The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it
    Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles
    Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel
    The wolf will break its bonds and run
    Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead
    Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks
    I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight.
    Thatched with gold at Gimlé
    There bold men will dwell
    And enjoy cheer throughout their lives

    Eu ouço Einar pelo menos uma vez ao dia. Obrigado por mostrar ao mundo esse gênero musical tão bonito e único. Creio que os deuses nórdicos te presentearam por um motivo especial. Abraços do Brasil!
