My name is Cherrie and I just joined too. Sorry that I cannot translate yet. My BA is in Latin and Greek so that's all I could help with at this point in time. I do however think that this old norse business will be easy. Try in a month or two. Cher

Hello, my name is Michael Smith and I am interested in learning
Old Norse mainly to be able to write my own songs in Old Norse, and
also to speak for fun.
Right now I have a short part of one of my songs I've been trying to
translate using online sources, but I haven't had any luck.
Would anyone be so kind as to be able to translate this as much as
possible if it's not too much trouble?:
"The Skein of Fate that the Norns direct
As they draw, carry and sprinkle renewing water,
Ratatosk gnaws and carries vile words
Yet blends and unfolds with the pre-ordained"
It doesn't have to be exact, if it's something much simpler and a
little different, but with the subject matter unchanged that's
fine. I just want to able to record this one vocal part of my song.
take
care,
Michael
