Sól
Released on August 9, 2019, Sól is Gealdýr’s first album. It tells about the creation of this world, the end of it and the rebirth. The ongoing cycle of life. Nowadays most people think that life is very linear, but when we look into Norse mythology we can find that even after Ragnarök (The fate of the Gods) life will continue. The old sun will die and a new one will be born. The old Gods die and after that the world is ready for a new cycle to start.
Lyrics
Ginnungagap
Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi
Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu
Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere
The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast over heaven’s rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were
Myrkvidr
Meyjar flugu sunnan,
Myrkviðr í gögnum,
Alvitr unga, örlög drýgja;
En einn Völundr sat í Ulfdölum,
Svá beið hann sinnar ljóssar kvánar

Myrkviðr
Ríða Myrkvið yfir,
Meyjar flugu sunnan,
Alvitr unga, örlög drýgja
En einn Völundr sat í Ulfdölum,
Svá beið hann sinnar ljóssar kvánar
2x
Myrkviðr
Maids from the south,
Through Myrkwood flew,
Fair and young, their fate to follow
But Völundr alone stayed in Ulfdölum,
So he waited for his shining wife

Through Myrkwood ride,
Maids from the south,
Fair and young, their fate to follow

Baldr
Ek sá Baldri, blóðgum tívur
Óðins barni, örlög folgin
Stóð of vaxinn völlum hæri
Mjór ok mjök fagr mistilteinn
Fagr mistilteinn
Blóðgum tívur, blóðgum tívur
örlög folgin, örlög folgin
I saw Baldr, the bleeding god
The son of Odinn, his destiny set
Famous and fair, in the lofty fields
Full grown in strength, the mistletoe stood
The mistletoe stood
The bleeding god, the bleeding god
His destiny set, his destiny set
Valkyrjur
Sá hon Valkyrjur vítt of komnar
Görvar at ríða til goðþjóðar
Skuld helt skildi en Skögul önnur
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul ok Geirskögul
Nú eru talðar nönnur Herjans
Görvar at ríða grund Valkyrjur

Sá hon vítt ok of vítt of veröld hverja
On all sides I saw Valkyries assemble
Ready to ride to the ranks of the gods
Skuld bore the shield and Skogul rode next
Gunnr, Hildr, Gondul and Geirskogul
For they are named Herjan’s maidens
Valkyries ready to ride over the earth

Ready to ride

Loki
Loftr, um langan veg ásu at biðja,

eða heitið mik heðan.

To ask of the gods, that one should give
Fair mead for a drink to me

At your feast a place and a seat prepare me
Or bid me forth to fare.

Sól
Eina dóttur
berr alfröðull
áðr hana fenrir fari
sú skal ríða
þá er regin deyja
móður brautir, mær
Sól ek sá,
svá þótti mér,
sem ek sæja göfgan guð;
henni ek laut
hinzta sinni
aldaheimi í.

A daughter
is birthed by Álfröðull (the Sun goddess)
after she is swallowed by the wolf Fenrir
She (the New Sun) shall ride
as the gods are dying
on the old paths of her mother.
The sun I saw, and it seemed to me
as if I saw a glorious god:
I bowed before her,
for the last time,
in the world of men.
