An Icelandic adaptation
by Tigernan Smiðrsson

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
You are Midgard´s strong center;
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
By many names we call you;
Irminsul and Yggdrasil,
Mimameith, strength my will;
You link the worlds without, within,
That we the way between may win,
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
You are Midgard´s strong center.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Nine worlds gleam from your branches;
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Great Odin won your glory;
Self sacrificed to self, in pain
Nine nights he hung, the runes to gain;
From Hella´s depths to Asgard´s height,
You hold them in enduring might;
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Nine worlds gleam from your branches.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Beneath your leaves we shelter;
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
With gifts we deck your branches;
May offerings now given here,
Bring fortune for the coming year;
Lif and Lifthrasir, are alive,
The Age´s ending will survive,
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Beneath your leaves we shelter.
