Once, at the dawn of time

There stood eternal silence

Chaotic darkness

Enclosed by ice and fire

Day after day

They both attract each other

Frost met the flames

The ice melt by the fire

All nine worlds, beggining to form

Assembling

Endless pit, beginning to fill

with daylight

Drops of the melted ice

Formed up a godlike giant

Hermaphrodite like worms

His sweat gave birth to others

Another melted splash

Emerged a primal cattle

Her warm tongue melt the ice

From where the Aesir gods would rise

Buri! Bor!

The Aesir gods tribe’s firstborns

Bestla! Bor!

Their sons half-god half-giant

Vili! Ve!

The one-eyed father’s brothers

They slay! They kill!

They three will slaughter Ymir

The giant’s corpse lays still

While Aesir gods form worlds

His blood, makes oceans

The rotting skin is soil

His skull, blue skies

Two trunks, Embla and Ask

In Midgard, they dwell

While death is what created life!

All nine worlds, beggining to form

Assembling

Endless pit, beginning to fill

with daylight
