ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TEXT:
Attention I demand from all
the sacred families;
greater and lesser
children of Great World;
You want me, Choice Father
to give a good account
of the most ancient tales
that which I remember best.
I remember giants
born before time
those who in the olden days
had me fostered
Nine worlds I remember
Nine Witches Within Wood
Before the Mead-Tree
sprouted from the ground below
In the beginning was the Wave
where Sound built
was neither sand nor sea,
nor cool little waves
Earth was not,
nor heaven above
The Open Mouth of the
Sacred Descendants was
yet no growth
Before the sons of Storage Chamber
lifted up the lands
they who shaped
the precious Middle World
Sun shone from the south
on the rocks of the hall [=Earth]
then the Earth began to grow
the green plants
