I went with more figurative versions that make sense in english. For people who want to learn Icelandic, explanation below:
Translation notes:
First, most verbs ending in -um go with "we" (við), but it wasn't always int he original and didn´t always flow in English. For example, Hlæjum að hætumnum would actually be "[we] laugh at danger". Doesn't change much.
"Höldum á mið" literally means "(we) hold to the middle"- I think that means "steer straight"
"Rupla" and "ræna" seem to be synonyms, "ræna" meaning "Rob, pillage". Pirates are associated with pillaging and plundering in english- so I went with that.
"Ræningjafífið á okkur el við"- að ala (infinitive of "el") literally means "bear, feed, nourish". So it more literally means "The pillaging life is like food to us", but I think "all that I need" makes more sense in English.
In "víð drögum að hún", "hún" just means "she" (referring to a female noun or person), and one of the words for mast (sigla) is female, so I think it means the mast.
"blasa við" literally means "be quite evident"
"strönd" means beach, seashore, or coast- so it´s more "we´ll find new beaches", but that basically means new places/lands. In English, at least.
"Fley flýtur af stað" more literally translates to "the boat floats in place", in the song meaning that you anchor it and it stays there while you go exploring.
Landsýn- sýn means sight, view, vision. Basically, "land sighted", which is what "Land ho" means.
As for why they´re digging in meadows and fields- I got nothing. I can´t find another meaning for engi or tún.
