Relevant topic: For english last year, we had to do a persuasive speech/essay. Mine was about how much better Vikings are than pirates.
it was really hard to research and write but a load of fun to speak.

That sounded pretty cool. Is there somewhere you could find a translation for that?
It's the Faroese legend of Regin the Blacksmith.
REGIN BLACKSMITH
Will you now listen
Whilst I will sing.
About the rich kings
That I will now speak of
Chorus
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
Hundings sons at war,
They did damage there
Poison was in the sword,
They carried against me
Chorus
Fafnir is the name of the dragon
That lies on the Glittering Heath
Regin is a good blacksmith,
To few is he faithful
Chorus
He was on the fields of play,
Rages amongst men
He tears up large oak trunks,
He maims some to Hell
Chorus
Instrumental
On the eastern side under the mound
Where heroes grow in numbers
Dark is this sad day
Down in mould to go
Chorus
A man stepped forward upon the field
No one knew him
He had a wide hat on his head,
And a Finnish bow in his hand
Chorus
A man stepped forward upon the field
Raging with his sword
He had one eye
And trouser legs were buttoned
Chorus
The dragon has slithered of the gold,
It is rumoured widely
Sigfried seats himself on Greyfells back,
He prepares himself to ride
Chorus
