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.”
