[Thorir said he was the least of them, for berserk always comes upon me just when I least want it, and I wish, brother, you would do something about it.
â VATMSDCELA SAGA CHAP. 37]
When I was a little boy, it started with me
As soon as something annoyed me, I fell under a spell
That's why you should prevent people from making me angry
It's better to get out of there quickly if something really stinks to me
If you drive me crazy then I have a problem
Then I stop thinking and then I'll hit, no matter who
Then nothing and no one can free me from my anger
Then I lash out, swear and start screaming
[Chorus]
I become a wild sow
Then see I'll blush and beat you to death
Wildsau - I'll kill you in my distress
Wildsau - Once anger overcomes me
Wildsau - Let it be
Otherwise I'll become a pig
I wanted to have a nice evening and went to the tavern
Although my wife doesn't like to see it, I'm happy to be there
A drunkard right next to me vomits on my leg< br/>My collar swells, I turn red and slap him
His drinking buddy now thinks he has to do something too
And lets one of his friend's stools crash into my back
Something just hit me hard
I'll hand out two or three ladles, then we'll start drinking
[Chorus]
[This Sigvald had seven sons,
them so enthralled with sorcery
that often in a sudden fit of frenzy
they would let out terrible roars,
bit their shields, swallow live coals
and jumped across the fire.
And once it had broken out,
there was no other way to stop their madness
other than to either overcome them and tie them up,
or they were given a chance to satisfy their bloodlust.
Either it was their wild nature or it was a mental illness
that created this terrible frenzy in them.
