Album cover for Gealdýr's single 'Gimlé'

Gimlé

In Norse mythology, Gimlé (alternately Gimli as in Icelandic) is a place where the worthy survivors of Ragnarök are foretold to live on a mountain in a golden-roofed hall. It is described in the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda as the most beautiful place in Asgard, more beautiful than the sun.

Lyrics

Sal sér hon standa sólu fegra,
gulli þakðan á Gimléi;
þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.

Gimlé
Gimlé
Gimlé

þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.

ynðis njóta
ynðis njóta
ynðis njóta

þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.

I see a hall standing there, more beautiful than sunlight, thatched with gold at Gimlé. There bold men will dwell and enjoy cheer throughout their lives.

Gimlé
Gimlé
Gimlé

There bold men will dwell and enjoy cheer throughout their lives.

Enjoy cheer
Enjoy cheer
Enjoy cheer

There bold men will dwell and enjoy cheer throughout their lives.
