SKÁLD | My Mother Told Me (Lyrics & Translation)

~ Enable subtitles for the English translation! I’m fairly sure most of you know the song “My mother told me”, but did you that the version that’s become so famous is actually an English adaptation of a Norse poem? The text in question is a short stanza that can be found in “Egil’s Saga”, and it’s of course originally in Old Icelandic: "Þat mælti mín móðir". I know a transcription in runes of such a text doesn’t really have any reason to be, if not as a treat, but yeah…that’s just what it is, bear with me. Any suggestion and/or observation is warmly welcome.
