Ráðið mun

Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það. Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það. Þeir sáu mig háan og fagran, Þeir héldu ég væri konungur verður, En án Mímis við hlið mína, Sagði ég ekkert nema þessi orð. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Vanir reiddust, Vanir sviku, Þeir tóku höfuð Mímis af, En sá sem þegir lifir lengur, Sá sem talar deyr fyrst. Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það. Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Þeir sem tala mikið, deyja fljótt, Ah-ah-ah-aaaah... Ég lifi enn. Ég þegi enn. Ég sé allt sem þeir sjá ekki. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Hœnir þegir, Hœnir horfir, Orð mín ein duga aldrei ein, Þeir héldu mig veikan, þeir héldu mig heimskan, En þögnin mín var vopn sem þeir skildu ekki. Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það. Ráðið mun, ráðið mun, Ráðið mun um það.

The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it. The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it. They saw me tall and fair, They thought me a king worth having, But without Mímir at my side, I said nothing but these words. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. The Vanir grew angry, the Vanir betrayed, They struck the head from Mímir, But he who keeps silent lives longer, He who speaks dies first. The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it. The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. Those who talk much die soon, Ah-ah-ah-aaaah... I am still alive. I am still silent. I see everything they do not see. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. Hœnir is silent, Hœnir watches, My words alone never suffice alone, They thought me weak, they thought me a fool, But my silence was a weapon they did not understand. The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it. The counsel will decide, the counsel will decide, The counsel will decide upon it.
