Im a Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 I dont understand a single word of Skald's songs. But everytime i listen to their music tey takes me to a whole new universe. Love from Sri Lanka to all the men of culture here❤
It's in Norse, closest modern language would be Icelandic. I speak swedish and pick up a lot of it especially on the slower songs or when I can read the lyrics.
I find it interesting that a language 1000 years old is still semi understandable by modern scandinavian languages. But Icland has preserved it well so that is good. I wish Sweden could embrace our old culture a bit more. Sometimes it feels like we is trying to distance ourselves from it as far as possible. Iallafall, skål! 🍻
Villeman and Magnhild Villemann went to the river oh, Hey all the fairest linden leaves There he wanted to play the golden harp For the runes he lust to win
Villeman goes to stand in the current, Hey all the fairest linden leaves Masterful could he play the golden harp For the runes he lust to win
He played teasingly, he played cunningly, Hey all the fairest linden leaves And the bird became silent on the green twig For the runes he lust to win
He played teasingly, he played loudly, Hey all the fairest linden leaves He played Magnhild of nokken's arm For the runes he lust to win
But then nokken stood up from the deep sea, Hey all the fairest linden leaves It cracks in mountains and rumbles in the sky For the runes he lust to win
Then he played his harp with all his might Hey all the fairest linden leaves And bring forth might from nokken's arm For the runes he lust to win
Everytime I listen this song, I remember when dogs and me cross the winter landscapes and feel the wind on my face. This winter, I can not do dogsleding for some reasons and I miss this a lot. Everytime I listen this music, I see my friends run throught the storm. Everytime I listen this song, I want to crye. Thank you Skáld 🙏
Didn't understand it for a long time. The background to the song is described in German translations of the tradition as follows: Magnhild has to cry because she knows her fate, that she will drown in the river. Villemann builds a bridge for her so that she can escape. Many people search for her. However, the bride's horse stumbles as she crosses the bridge. She falls into the water. Villemann sings to his golden harp, forcing the troll to release her from the water. And the short German translation (shortened and simplified) made me understand the song story a little better, hope translated back to English there is no big fault and the sense does not get lost: Villemann went to the river To the most beautiful of all lime trees There he wanted to play the golden harp For the runes promised him luck Villemann went to stand against the current He could play the golden harp masterfully He played it delicately, he played it cunningly The bird became silent on the green tree He played it softly, he played it loudly He played Magnhild free from the troll's arms Then the troll rose from the depths of the lake It rumbled in the mountains and crashed in the clouds Then he struck the harp with all his concentrated fury And thus took away the troll's strength and power. Since understanding it a little bit better, i like it even more.
Im kurdish from iraq and somehow in love with your music and vikings ! And rlly interested in everything of vikings history! And of course music. SKALDDDD
New voices combination!! and we keep flying like eagles over the mountains I love the video and this new version. Cheers from Valencia Spain. SKOLL!! 🍻 FOR SKALD!!
@@malumusera La verdad no, la voy a Buscar, es que de éste genero solo escucho a Skald por el momento, Wardruna no es que lo haga mal pero su estilo no me termina de gustar entonces me he quedado con Skald. Pierrick y los demás hacen falta pero Justine es un grupo musical de una mujer, es increíblemente talentosa 🥰
Góðan daginn! If you guys ever come to Los Angeles, USA, I’d love to see you guys! Wardruna is coming soon! You’re music is beautiful! I listen to it often when I drive and my kids love it too! Skál!
Great Song! My 3yr old son loves your "winter songs" ep :D He always demands to listen to Skáld when we start any kind of music :D Keep up the good work!
Veeeery nice version of this song. Please say that you will perform at castlefest this year as it was planed in 2021! I would so much like to experience you erforming this song there........
Im a Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 I dont understand a single word of Skald's songs. But everytime i listen to their music tey takes me to a whole new universe. Love from Sri Lanka to all the men of culture here❤
Sri Lanka is a nation I really appreckate. Great people, rich culture, beautiful community
I am an American, and I LOVE this band, I can't understand a word they are singing, but their sound is amazing
They are French but they don't sing in French.
Word
It's in Norse, closest modern language would be Icelandic. I speak swedish and pick up a lot of it especially on the slower songs or when I can read the lyrics.
I just came across this band and love them. Makes me want to learn the language.
I find it interesting that a language 1000 years old is still semi understandable by modern scandinavian languages. But Icland has preserved it well so that is good.
I wish Sweden could embrace our old culture a bit more. Sometimes it feels like we is trying to distance ourselves from it as far as possible.
Iallafall, skål! 🍻
Villeman and Magnhild
Villemann went to the river oh,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
There he wanted to play the golden harp
For the runes he lust to win
Villeman goes to stand in the current,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
Masterful could he play the golden harp
For the runes he lust to win
He played teasingly, he played cunningly,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
And the bird became silent on the green twig
For the runes he lust to win
He played teasingly, he played loudly,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
He played Magnhild of nokken's arm
For the runes he lust to win
But then nokken stood up from the deep sea,
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
It cracks in mountains and rumbles in the sky
For the runes he lust to win
Then he played his harp with all his might
Hey all the fairest linden leaves
And bring forth might from nokken's arm
For the runes he lust to win
Thank you 😊
Thank you for translating 💜
Doesn't she call the creature a troll?
Thanks
@@marsboer99 a troll is a supernatural creature, but a specific one, while the Nikk is another creature
This song is wonderful. As a history major I love learning new languages and finding the translations meaningful. Great Yule stories also.
Прекрасная работа! Это музыка превосходна!
Seriously this music is sooo well done and it always makes me forget all my troubles. I cant wait to hear more from them.
Long live brothers and Sisters Skal from Serbia! 🇷🇸❤

Сие есть традиционная песня то ил шведов, то ли норвегов. Вот ее более привычное исполнение: th-cam.com/video/Hzy3DsTl3i4/w-d-xo.html
