Odín o el rojo Thor o el Cristo Blanco...
Poco importan los nombres y sus dioses;
no hay otra obligación que ser valiente
y Einar lo fue, duro caudillo de hombres.
Era el primer arquero de Noruega
y diestro en el gobierno de la espada
azul y de las naves. De su paso
por el tiempo, nos queda una sentencia
que resplandece en las crestomatías.
La dijo en el clamor de una batalla
en el mar. Ya perdida la jornada,
ya abierto el estribor al abordaje,
un flechazo final quebró su arco.
El rey le preguntó qué se había roto
a sus espaldas y Einar Tambarskelver
dijo: Noruega, rey, entre tus manos.
Siglos después, alguien salvó la historia
en Islandia. Yo ahora la traslado,
tan lejos de esos mares y de ese ánimo.
Einar Tambarskelver
(Heimskringla, I, 117)
Odin or red Thor or the White Christ ...
They matter little, the names, the gods behind them;
There is no other duty than to be brave
And Einar, leathery captain of men, was that.
He was foremost among the Norwegian archers
And expert in the handling of the blue
Sword and of ships. Of his trajectory
Through time, there now remains to us one sentence,
Which gives off light in the chrestomathies.
He said it in the wild din of a sea battle.
The lost day's fighting done, the starboard side
Open to boarding, a last shot snapped his bow.
The king asked him what was that that had broken
Behind his back and Einar Tambarskelver
Replied, Norway, king, between your hands.
Centuries later, someone saved the story
In Iceland. And I now transcribe it here,
So distant from those oceans, from that spirit.
