At the beginning of the 10th century A nation mighty and boldly Reigned over the oceans - the Vikings
In 901 they lost Dublin They invaded to North-Thumberland and founded in York a new realm In 913 they undertook the attempt To reconquer their former Irish kingdom In 916 all shall be decided in the battle of Confey
Old sagas relate about this battle They tell about twelve belldames The valkyries, which took part on the clash
Side by side by the Vikings Against the Irish king Against the archbishop of Armagh Against christianity
Wide spaned is the webbing As a sign of the battle The people are raising Blood rains
Braided of intestines Strong taut with skulls Strike with sword battle webbing Shaft shall burst shield shall crush
Through harness the battleaxe Shall pierce Harm will come over the Irish Never expiring in their mind
The work is woven at the battlefield Bane and horror cross the land Bloody clouds cover the sky The air is red by the blood of heroes Whom our verdict ordained to victims We sing tunes of victory To the young king we sing hail
Spur the horses to quicker run With bare sword ride away
So they rode away Six to the south and six to the north From this time on The Vikings shall reign over the lands
Several generations The Irish couldn't regain their former home Which was captured by the VikingsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
