Nu är att säga, huru 
jarl Angantyr satt än 
uti sin sal av furu 
och drack med sina män. 
Han var så glad i hågen, 
såg ut åt blånad ban, 
där solen sjöng i vågen 
allt som en gyllne svan.

Frithiof chez Angantyr
 (Sung text translation for setting by C. Ridderstolpe)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Maintenant, écoutez l'histoire,
comment le jarl Angantyr, était assis
dans sa salle en bois de pin
et buvait avec ses hommes.
Il était d'humeur joyeuse,
regardait dehors la mer bleue,
là-bas le soleil chantait dans les vagues
comme un cygne d'or.

 ... 

Note: the text above is taken from stanza 1 of the original text.

Notes: Angurvandel est le nom de l'épée de Frithiof . Sur sa lame (sa "langue" ) étaient écrites des runes ; Saga est la déesse de l'Histoire, dont dérive le mot "saga" signifiant histoire, légende ; Helge est le frère de Halfdan, les deux rois co-régnants ; Astrild : nom de la déesse de l'amour dans la poésie suédoise du 17ième siècle.
