     Krummi krunkar úti,
     kallar á nafna sinn:
     „Ég fann höfuð af hrúti
     hrygg og gæruskinn.“
     Komdu nú og kroppaðu með mér,
     krummi nafni minn.

     calling his namesake:
     ‘I found the head of a ram,
     backbone and sheepskin.’
     Come now and peck with me,
     Krummi, my namesake.”
