From Birka the norsemen set sail

Across the wide open Baltic Sea

At Lagoda and Novgorod they settled

Slaves and fur they would trade for silver and silk

Forward to Miklagård

Forward to Miklagård

On the Dnjepr, they struggled to pass Aifur

Around Kiev, tribes and folk were gathered

And the new master's name was the infamous Rus!

Two thousand ships that sailed the Black Sea

Forward to Miklagård
