Flamme

Syng til mitt hjerte

Kom på jorden

Vevet er min tro

Når Nornene gråt

Syng til mitt hjerte

Som en flamme

Lys opp tråder

Brenner elskere ned

Syng deg til meg

Næmere enn strenger

Vev din vei til meg

Spre dine vinger

Munt skopum vinna

Hud på hud

Fordi når vi møtes

Branner brenner

Madr hverr lifir at munom sinom

Syng til mitt hjerte

Kom på jorden

Vevet er min tro

Syng til mitt hjerte

Lys opp vor vei

ditt hjerte viser vei

Flame

Sing to my heart

Come onto the ground

The weave is my faith

When the Norns* cry

Sing to my heart

Like a flame

Light up the threads

Burns down lovers

Sing to me

Closer than strings

Weave your way to me

Spread your wings

Shun your fate

Skin on skin

Because when we meet

Fires burn

Each man lives as his longing wills

Sing to my heart

Come onto the ground

The web is my faith

Sing to my heart

Light up our path

Your heart shows the path

Hello Safyra,

"Munt skopum vinna" might be translated as "shun your fate", because this line is from The Prophecy of Gripir, 52 (the Poetic Edda, the part 53 in original). The original is "mun-at sköpum vinna" ("our fates we shun not"), where "at" is a negative particle (thanks Frost Fox for both the Russian translation of this song and the notes to that).

The Prophecy of Gripir / Grípisspá:
Sigurth spake:
52. "Now fare thee well! | our fates we shun not;
And well has Gripir | answered my wish;
More of joy | to me wouldst tell
Of my life to come | if so thou couldst."

Sigurðr kvað:
53. "Skiljumk heilir, mun-at sköpum vinna.
Nú hefir þú, Grípir, vel gört sem ek beiddak.
Fljótt myndir þú fríðri segja
mína ævi, ef þú mættir þat."

I hope it was helpful.

I'm glad to be of help.

Also about the line "Madr hverr lifir at munom sinom" - Frost Fox pointed to Oddrúnarkviða, 34:

34. "Thou didst see and listen, | the while I said
The mighty grief | that was mine and theirs;
Each man lives | as his longing wills,--
Oddrun's lament | is ended now."

34. Sattu ok hlýddir, meðan ek sagðak þér
mörg ill of sköp mín ok þeira;
maðr hverr lifir at munum sínum;
nú er of genginn grátr Oddrúnar.

So the line you are looking for is "Each man lives as his longing wills".
