Hrafni-hattr (Raven-hat)

So, before Austin and San Antonio (The trip was, by and large great fun. We enjoyed great weather, got to be very touristy, saw a bit of South by Southwest, visited the Alamo, enjoyed wonderful food - if you like Tex-Mex, try Trudy's on Burnet Road - their Smoked Chicken Molé is a marvel! We saw The Artist, which is a great movie), I put up the following picture from the upcoming Lone Ranger  movie and a challenge.

Today it's my turn to post a verse. This may be a wee-bit far-fetched, but at least I left out, "Hi-ho, Silver! Away!" I´ll give you the Old Norse, followed only by a translation. It's truly THAT simple. Jackson Crawford - your turn!

**************************************

Skraelings hattr skraut-ligr

skrafa laga-mann afreks.

"farðu lags-manna fárs-morðs

frek-liga hefnd-rektú"

Grimu-ridi graman

grá-eygr sárlóm heyra:

"hǫfum vit á hefni

hraun-skegg eða deyjum!" 

Showy hat of the Skraeling

talks to law-man valiant.

"(you) Go and harshly vengeance gain

for kinsmen foully murdered!"

Masked rider grey-eyed listens 

to angry blood-loon:

"Gain we vengeance

Wild-man or we die!"

NOTES and KENNINGS

Did you know that Tonto's name comes from the Potawatomie language and means "Wild One"? This explains "hraun-skegg" in line 8.
