FJALKONAN
FJALKONAN
Aurora crown
The long dark night
As winter be
The lands fall white
Raise thy sword
Smite the ice
Free the fjords
A Falcon's Knight
So puffins nest
And ravens soar
Peace be best
Prepare for war
Oh Fjallkonan
There is not one
As fierce as fair
In tale or song
Icelandic
... Fjallkonan ("The Lady of the Mountain")
... Is phonetically pronounced as FYATL-ko-nan
... Iceland honors individuals with knighthoods
through its sole order of chivalry, the Order of the Falcon.
