Da sagde Gullrønd, Gjukes Datter
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Old Norse (Fornnorræna) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Da sagde Gullrønd, Gjukes Datter:
"Ej du mægter, Foster moder!
skøndt vis du er,
den unge Viv at trøste!"
Ej lod hun til hylle Fyrstens Lig.
Lagnet strøg hun af Sigurds Legem,
vendte hans Kind mod Gudruns Knæ:
"See paa din Elskte;
læg din Mund til hans Skjæg,
som om du favnede
Fyrsten i Live."

Thus said Gullrønd, the daughter of Gjuke
Language: English  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Thus said Gullrønd, the daughter of Gjuke:
"You are unable, foster mother!
Although you certainly
Wanted to comfort the young girl."
She had the body of the prince unveiled,
From the rapier she drew back the blanket,
Shoved the cushion in front of Gudrun's knee:
"Look at your beloved;
Rest your mouth on his neck,
As if you were embracing
The living prince."
