Lyrics
-----

Old High/Proto German

mit ganzem ellen wol bewart
ein vzerwelter degn
vnt von ir ritterscaft

ek immi swerdą, ek immi derknassun
ek immi fōr sa, ek immi leuhtą

gib mir ellan Wotan, mit gēre, er slahan
gib mir maht Wotan, Ana hengiste, er farit
gib mir kraft Wotan, gewiȥȥa, er bifindit
gib mir siht Wotan, mit ougen, er sehan

English

full of manly might
What worship they attain'd
a champion choice and true

I am the sword, I am the darkness
I am the fire, I am the light

Give me strength Wotan, with spear, he strikes
Give me power Wotan, on stallion, he travels
Give me might Wotan, knowledge, he seeks
Give me sight Wotan, with (one) eye, he sees
