Learn Old English through Stories | The Departure | Old English Conversation

A man has something to tell his wife in Old English.

This is not from the period. I wrote this.

TRANSLATION:
"I have something to tell you."

"Yeah?"

“Very likely that you will not like it.”

”Why so? Tell me.”

“My dear, I am leaving the city.”

"No, oh no! You cannot do that."

"How can that be so?"

"Tell me, why are you going?"

“To serve the army.”

“I will be a soldier.”

"Soldier? You? No! I cannot understand this."

"When are you going?"

“Tomorrow, at dawn.”

"I cannot believe this."

"What if you die in battle? What will I do without you?"

"Don't make me a widow! I am your wife!"

"Look, I will go because our nation is in need of me."

“I want that you will be protected from our nation’s enemies.”

“You cannot stop (hinder) me. I will go.”

"Where are you going?"

“Either into land of the Franks or to whereever they will send me.”

“Oh I will come back. I promise you that.”

"Good. You will come back."

"You will come back soon."

“Yes, this is my promise.”

"I love you."

“Also I love you.”
