Visur vatnsenda-rosu

Augun min og Augun tin
O ta fogru steina
Mitt var titt og titt var mitt
tu veist hvae eg meina
Langt er siean sa eg hann
Sannlega frieur var hann
Allt sem pryea ma einn mann
mest af lyeum bar hann
tig eg trega manna mest
Madda af tara floei
O ae vie hefeum aldrei sest
elsku vinurinn goei

 Song of Rose from Vatnsenda

My eyes and your eyes
O those beautiful stones
mine was yours and yours was mine
you know what I mean
long is since I saw him
truly fair he was
all that may adorn a man
most of the people carried him
you I long for most of all
heavy with the flood of tears
O that I never had seen you
dear beloved friend
