     rennur sól á bak við Arnarfell,

     hér á reiki er margur óhreinn andinn,

     úr því fer að skyggja á jökulsvell;

     Drottinn leiði drösulinn minn,

     drjúgur verður síðasti áfanginn.

     Ride, ride, ride hard across the sands,

     the sun is settling behind Arnarfell.

     The Lord leads my horse,

     it is still a long, long way home.

   Sólin er björt. ― The sun is bright.
