The boar's head in hand bear I,
Bedecked with bay and rosemary,
And I bid you good Heathens be merry,
Together on this holy day!
Chorus:
Odin, Thor and Ingvi-Frey,
Frigga, Freya bless this day!
The boar's head, as I understand,
Is the fairest dish in all the land,
When thus bedecked with a gay garland,
Presented on this holy day!
Chorus:
Odin, Thor and Ingvi-Frey,
Frigga, Freya bless this day!
The steward hath provided this,
In honor of the King of Bliss,
Who on this day to be feasted is!
Now glad betide Frey's holy day!
Chorus:
Odin, Thor and Ingvi-Frey,
Frigga, Freya bless this day!
