At the center of the worlds, I remember Ymir

Carved by the cosmic cow, Ymir of the Rime

Begetter of Buri, Ymir First Father


Cruelly cut by Odin Vili, Ve

Pulled into pieces by Odin, Vili, Ve

Made into Midgard by Odin, Vili Ve


Heaven’s Dome, Ymir, your skull

Salty seas, Ymir, your blood

Stones of the Earth, Ymir, your bones


At the center of the worlds, I remember Ymir

Carved by the cosmic cow, Ymir of the Rime

Home of the folk, First Father Ymir
