Kvasir was killed And his blood turned into A mead giving wisdom to thee
Sutton the giant He locked it away In Hnitbjork, he won't set it free
Odin, for wisdom's sake Empty Odrornir to spit it all out Over Midgard as to make The song come alive, sung out loud
Bolverk Bolverk Odin's trickery To lie with a giantess Three days in a row Bolverk Bolverk
Giant snake and eagle To soar in the sky As wisdom you will glow
In the middle of the mountain The mead guarded by Gunlod a giantess fair
Odin she saw Disguised in a lie His manhood eager to dare
Three days he did last And the mead he did drink Into an eagle he turned to fly The mead he did spit As to make Midgard think And the giantess he left to cry
