Lyrics:

Upp á heiðina kólnar veðrið og drífr,
Þat er hinn sjaunda dag jóla.
Drekkum úti jól ef vér viljum ráða.

Eldar eru á miðju gólfi í hofinu,
ok berask full um eld.
Drekkum úti jól ef vér viljum ráða.

Sól er skýja skjöldr,
ok skínandi röðull,
ok ísa aldrtregi,
Rota siklingr.
x2
drekkum úti jól ef vér viljum ráða.

Skal fyrst Óðins full skal þat drekka til sigrs,
en síðan Njarðar full ok Freys full,
til árs ok friðar.

Þá er mörgum mönnum títt at drekka þarnæst Braga full,
Menn drekka ok full frænda sinna.
Drekkum úti jól ef vér viljum ráða.

Sól er skýja skjöldr,
ok skínandi röðull,
ok ísa aldrtregi.
Rota siklingr.
x4

Þá man sól renna upp,
Þá man sól renna upp,
Þau munu líta til sólarinnar
rota siklingr.
x4

Translation:

It's cold on the moor, snow is falling,
on this seventh day of Yule.
We must drink to Yule if we want to rule.

There's a fireplace in the middle of this temple,
the full cups are presented before the fire.
We must drink to Yule if we want to rule.

Sun, shield of the clouds,and shining ray,destroyer of ice.
King of the Wheel.
x2
We must drink to Yule if we want to rule.

First Odin’s cup is drunk, for victory,
then the cups of Njord and Frey,
For a Fruitful Year And Peace.

It's time to drink Bragi's cup,
to our friends’ vows and oaths.
We must drink to Yule if we want to rule.

Sun, shield of the clouds,and shining ray,destroyer of ice.
King of the Wheel.
x4

Then the sun will rise,
then the sun will rise,
all will turn to welcome
the King of the wheel.
x4
