Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn's actor) saying goodbye to his character: [ Ссылка ]
This song plays when Bjorn Ironside is killed by his own half-brother, Ivar the Boneless.

All rights goes to Einar Selvik. I don't own anything from this video.

Original song name: Snake Pit Poetry (Skaldic Mode)

Lyrics

English

I did not look to a snake
To be my bane;
Things happen very often
To one that one thinks of the least.

I did not look to a snake
To be my bane;
Things happen very often
To one that one thinks of the least.

(Soon now will my body
Die among the beasts)

The young pigs would squeal
If they knew the state of the boar;
Of the injury done to me.
Snakes dig into my flesh,
Stab at me harshly,
And have sucked on me;
Soon now will my body
Die among the beasts.

Icelandic

Eigi hugðak orma
At aldrlagi mínu;
Verðr mjök mörgu sinni,
Þats minnst varir sjálfan.

Eigi hugðak orma
At aldrlagi mínu;
Verðr mjök mörgu sinni,
Verðr mjök mörgu sinni,

Þats minnst varir sjálfan.

(Nú munk nár af bragði
Ok nær dýrum deyja)

Gnyðja mundu grísir,
Ef galtar hag vissi,
Mér er gnótt at grandi,
Grafa inn rönum sínum
Ok harðliga hváta,
Hafa mik sogit, ormar;
Nú munk nár af bragði
Ok nær dýrum deyja.
