My mother wants a price paid To purchase my proud-oared ship Standing high in the stern I'll scour for plunder. The stout Viking steersman Of this shining vessel: Then home to harbour After hewing down a man or two. Old Norse poem: Þat mælti mín móðir, at mér skyldi kaupa fley ok fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svá til hafnar höggva mann ok annan.

about

Egill Skallagrímsson (c. 904 – c. 995) was a Viking-Age poet, warrior and farmer. Apart from being a warrior of immense might in literary sources, Egill is also celebrated for his poetry, considered by many historians to be the finest of the ancient Scandinavian poets. This poem can be found in Egill's Lausavísur (no. 3), found in chapter 40 of Egils Saga. This song is sung by Sigurboði Grétarsson.
