Bro can you please make a Pälastinalied in Sanskrit with Indian musical Instruments.😁
@@baidyanathroy27That would be amazing! This world has a severe lack of Christian Sanskrit content!

One of my favorite things about your Old Norse works is that they mostly focus on the Christian Norse, instead of the pagan vikings. So rarely do you see people who sing in Old Norse that arn't neopagans, so thank you for releasing works like this and reminding us of the might and piety of vikings who have the Holy Spirit with them.
I mean...
That's usually what goes through people's minds when they hear the word "Vikings"
I only think of the Christian Vikings towards the end of the Viking Age.
And so authentically in a skaldic style, too, even if with a modern twist.
That's probably because a true Viking is a Pagan Viking. The whole idea of a Christian Viking is a complete farce. Christian Vikings were traitors to their country, people and Gods.
Because literally nobody thinks of Christians when they think of Vikings.
That's because in fact Christianity had caused vikings to go extinct in Norman's societies, as there weren't many potential targets left for raiding parties and violence, especially against fellow Christians, was strongly discouraged by the Church.
We Orthodox Christians still pray it . For us this is one of the MOST important prayers we have. Thank you for this beautiful content !
Herre Jesus Kristus, Guds son, förbarma dig över mig en syndare!
I Faderns, och Sonens, och den Helige Andens namn.
Amen
Amen.
Amen 🙏
Heer Jezus Christus, zoon van God, heb genade voor mij, een zondenaar! 🇳🇱☦️
Sigurd the Crusader might've prayed something like this. Beautiful.
Sooo wundervoll....die alte Sprache...und Jesus Christus....es berührt mich grad zu tiefst🙏✝️🙏
Thank you very much...
God bless you and your wife🙏
Herre Jesus Kristus, Guds søn, vær mig en synder nådig🇩🇰☦️
Vi er alle sammen syndere, men det er lidt lige meget, især når man tænker over at Gud nogle gange har temparamentsproblemer. Bortset fra det, hav en god dag mvh en dansk asatroende
Lets go! Nordic orthodox represent!💪☦
Haven't seen you in a while lmao 🤣
Svensk Ortodox 💪😎☦️
God bless you again Skald! ☦️
Thank you, friend, God bless
God bless you and your wife for all your lyrical works!
I bet my varangian ancestor would have recited this(in old English but he would have been along side norse speakers). memory eternal to the servant of God Wulfstan!
Got an Old English prayer coming up soon as well ;-)
@@SkaldBard doing God's work lad
@@SkaldBard Looking forward to it!
@@SkaldBard
Ohhh really? My dear brother, please, PLEASE do make an Old English version of this! I've been looking for an OE translation of the Jesus Prayer all over the Internet, and there's none! 😮 I'm not as good in OE yet to translate it myself... I'm an Orthodox Christian who loves old languages, and this video is such a treasure! Thank you, THANK YOU so much for this beautiful Old Norse version, and for your singing - you sound wonderfully enigmatic... like a viking who became Christian 😊
@@alexandercain5338"Dryhten Iesus Crīst, Godes Sunu, gemiltsa mē, synfullan."
What I love about your Norse music is that the Christian. People seem to forget they converted. Also the lack of throat singing 😂
Just want to say I love what you are doing and wish you much success. With respect and admiration, from a brother of the North and of Christ.
Thanks a lot for this, my friend. God bless and strengthen you
@@SkaldBard It is an honor and a pleasure. I found your channel through one of your magnificent Norse Crusader songs. A true joy, and you are doing something unique and much needed. I would go as far as to say Divinely Inspired.
I think there are many of us who wish to honor our ancestors as well as glorify & speak mightily of our Savior, and the two are not (and never have been) mutually exclusive. Indeed for well over the last 1000 years (and even into the Viking Age) the overwhelming majority of Warriors of the North have been Christians. I did not seek out constraint with "neopagans" but it seems plenty of them have issue with men like me, and also make the folly of assuming we are weak and to be taken advantage of like the false portrayals of Christians in the media. They do this at their own peril, and with no awareness of history. If you will forgive the wall of text, I actually just said this to a larpagan in another comment on this beautiful video:
"Yet the only reason the Norse Sagas are even known is because of Christian Theologians (namely Snorri Sturluson) recording them for posterity. That profile picture combined with the name tells the whole story: your "knowledge" of the Viking Age is a result of a terrible revisionist video game littered with modern political nonsense, and a tv show on the "history" channel that was once entertaining at least but became unwatchable after the great main character died. And was also littered with modern political nonsense. A couple other video games and "reimaginings" and the result is the basis for "neopagans" with a patchwork "faith" that perpetuates outright falsehoods & ignores large parts of what is historically known. Especially the part about how important your bloodline is.
Meanwhile I am a Christian and a true Northman, I know the Poetic & Prose Eddas backwards and forwards, same with the Hávamál, and same with the Orkneyinga saga. I especially like that last one as it's the historical account of my ancestors. I am a direct descendant of Norwegian Kings and the line of the Jarls of Orkney, who themselves were ancestors of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots (and my 23rd Great Grandfather). In my line are a litany of Christian Norsemen who were mighty heroes & leaders: including Sigurd the Stout, Thorfinn the Mighty, and Saint Magnus of Orkney. Let me guess, you never heard of any of them, right? Go ahead and do a google search. And whilst you decorate yourself like a Christmas tree with corporate ornaments based on other people's ancestry, perhaps stop and think before the next time you decide to open your mouth about subjects you are not only out of your depth in, but have an outright false understanding of."
I enjoy listening to Gregorian Chants & beautiful ancient songs like Palästinalied. I also enjoy the work of Danheim, Wardruna, and the like. What you are doing is powerful because it stirs the soul as well as the blood. May Almighty God bless & protect you and your family, always.
This would no doubt sound very familiar to a Christianized Northman from approximately the 12th century. Right down to the lyre. Awesome work! Beautiful collaboration between your wife and yourself.
Herre Jesus Kristus, Guds sønn, miskunn meg, en synder.
The song they sing before going into battle, asking Almighty God to forgive them of their sins! 👏🙏
Beautifully done! Glory to God!! Make Scandinavia Orthodox Again!
I listened to the song after a prayer at three in the afternoon today. Wonderful chant. God bless you and your wife.
Hey man, really love your work. As a huge history nerd these songs always transport me back 1000 years.
Awesome stuff man, that's the hope! Glad you like them :-)
What an absolute joy to hear this supplication to the Lord Jesus Christ in this beautiful language as it is so close to my heart languages Faroese and Icelandic.
God bless you and your wife for the work that you do.
We pray this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Víkingar vörðu Kristmann ok eptir Óláfr Tryggvasson,Óláfr inn Helga ok meira leituðu heiðna. Jómsborg fell við jómsvíkinga ok Krístr réð í Noregi. Wow,sagann er mikill. Góðan dag bróðir mín!!!
Hey Skaldic Bard. I'm not religious but this song is so good, listening to it gives me a nice feeling.
Can't believe to finnaly be the first! Haha! Song is enjoyable and calm. I would love falling asleep to it.
I’m glad I found this channel!! It’s rare to find Viking Christian music, and I’ve been searching for something like this for a while ! ✨
Your wife's voice is so soft, mixes well with your alpha voice😂
Really beautiful indeed, greetings from Brazil

FINALLY! YES! 🥳🥳🥳
Although I'm not a Christian, but I really enjoy listening to it
Great job my brother👏
You can always become one
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 🙏🏻
Proud To Be Christian and a Viking
I really appreciate the love you have for our Lord as well as European history! Thank you for keeping the past alive through your work :)
Very nice! It's great to see this beautiful prayer resung here again. Thank you, Skaldic Bard!
Beautiful. God bless you.
This is true Goth music!
This and gothic prayer are so beautiful!!
As a descendant of the Normans, Angles and Danes, this piece moves me very deeply.
Thank you.

Beautiful song
I love this so much ❤
Jesus Christ, Son of God. Thank you for your mercy on me, a sinner.
People always focus on the pagan vikings but rarely remember that they converted to Christianity.
Such as Saint Valdemar the great decedent of varagians who turned Russia to Christianity.

This is truly a beautiful prayer. May catholicism resonate within the Germanic peoples for years to come. Thank you to Skaldic Bard!
God bless you mate☦️☦️

Absolutely beautiful as usual. God bless! ✝️

Love that this exists, and it has a wonderful vibe to it; will go well for repeating in background!
Short, sweet, holy, genuine art Herr Bard
God bless for people like you
This is amazing
I really love this piece of musical art somehow it takes me to varangians from the Byzantine Empire. I hope it will stay forever in my mind. Keep it up and God help us! 😁
Long live Catholic Sweden and Denmark.
I loved the gothic version, and this one is equally beautiful. You have a great talent Bard. God Bless!
I loved it you are always better
amazing work thats a very beutiful prayer
Drottinn Jesús Kristur Guðs sonur. Miskunna mér syndara.

Rejected by Valhalla, but accepted into Heaven!
Very beautiful
Gosh this is a haunting triumph. If you would be interested in doing so, I would love to hear the Jesus prayer in different styles. Bravo!
What about the Our Father prayer? After all, Our Father prayer was given to us by God himself. Our Father is the most important prayer
Yeah, I'll make it some day!
Thank you for knowing to use Younger Futhark runes
Привет от русского человека, одна из любимых молитв, кстати, дорогой Skald Bard, не могли бы вы сделать еще одну песню на древнерусском? Ну или перевести какую нибудь на древнерусский, очень хотелось бы
Я буду делать больше песен на древнерусском языке, следите за новостями)
@@SkaldBard Выражаю вам большую русскую благодарность!
Thanks for putting the Runes this time!
I was going to ask you to release something today for my 20th birthday, but I never did, but you did anyway! Þank you!
@@servantofaeie1569 Happy birthday, my friend! Welcome to the third decade!
Hello friend, beautiful song, keep it up.
postscript: I continue with the translation of your songs into Spanish.
Stunningly beautiful as always, thanks
Herra Jeso Kristo, Guasönna, benôda mej den sínnerlíe🙏
Was wondering if you might give us the prayer in Boshuslänska, epic
@@SkaldBard I wouldnt miss a single upload 😅
Old Norse is incredibly beautiful. I’m glad you two are able to keep the language alive. This and your Old Norse rendition of Palastinland are among my favorite works. So solemn and holy.
Amen.
Thank you
I wonder if Oscan will get a bit of recognition. spoken by Rome's arch enemy the Samnites.
Skald your music enriches this grey world and thank you! all the respect to you.❤
Beautiful! Would love to hear one in old english too☦️
Veni Veni Emanuel in Old Norse next pleeease 🙏
I have a question. Are you planning on releasing more Old English songs? I love that language. I also have one more suggestion though: a song in German. I love such songs as the original Palastinalied or some german march songs or songs such as the German performance of Herr Mannelig by Karl Sternau. I'm currently learning German and I'm in love with the language. I like all your songs. You, together with Farya Faraji, are both the artists I listen to a lot on TH-cam. Just wanted to tell you that I would highly appreciate it if you uploaded a song in Old English or a song in German.
Hey friend, yeah, there will be more Old English coming and I have some plans for Old High German / Middle High German and Old Saxon :-) stay tuned!
@@SkaldBard Thanks. I will definitely be waiting for both Old English and for German. Regarding German, there are so many military marches or other folk songs on TH-cam, but hearing something actually from the earlier period - the medieval - would be so great.
Karl Sternau is probably racist
Thank you and all glory to God
Great song. I love it when your wife sings as well.
Skald!
Another Jesus Prayer to add to my collection, and not a bad one at all. Although my preference in your work is certainly Old English, Old Norse is a definite second. I think that your performances in this language are astounding and i believe this is due to the fact you take such care and precision to your pronunciation of every letter.
I am also appreciative of your Christian focus as for languages such as Old English and even more Old Norse the majority of people who take the time to learn, compose and sing are Neo-Pagans. However your Christian focus is a great piece to contrast and represent the huge impact Christianity had on these people. Anglo Saxons were converted not long after their invasion of Britain by the Scots if i am not mistaken and the Vikings converted a few hundred years later due to the influence of the Germans - I'm pretty sure that's correct. so, in reality these peoples were Christian the majority of their time and the representation of this is greatly outnumbered by neo-pagans.
Also, if you wouldn't mind, I translated this prayer into Old English some time ago. would you mind just checking the accuracy please?
Great Work as always
give my commendations to you and your wife please
God Bless
Indeed, very true, particularly in the case of the English. Feel free to email me at skaldbardofficial@gmail.com if you'd like to share your translation attempt there :-) thanks for the support, lad!
Love it! ☦
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Very beautiful, I also like how it has the same rythem as the Slavonic version ❤️✝️
Thanks !
Perfect🙏🙏🙏

@@servantofaeie1569 it is! 'The saxon Jesus Prayer in my translation. God bless'
Recently began converting to Orthodoxy, this prayer was one of the deciding factors! Glad to see it in Old Norse, Gothic, and other beautiful ancient languages! Ave Ave Christus Rex ☦
I have been trying to learn this in Irish but now I am going to get mixed up ha, it is beautiful thank you.

Hello my friend! I hope you are well. I wanted to thank you again for taking this beautiful language which has become so saturated with the Pagans and giving it a Christian context to honor both history and our Lord. I had a song request, if it is not too much to ask. I was wondering if you'd be willing to translate Wir sind die letzten Goten into Gothic? If you have other songs you'd rather get to first, I completely understand but it's just a thought. Thank you and God bless!
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 Hello! Thanks for the kind words and for the suggestion, my friend - I've made a note of it :-)
@@SkaldBard Thanks, friend!
❤❤❤

It’s interesting that Runes are almost always associated with pagans and the Vikings as well, but here it was used in a prayer by the Vikings.
Maybe a song could be made in old Chinese about the first Christians who were converted in the 600s.
Or a song in Assyrian, Coptic, or Aramaic about the Arab/Muslim conquests in the Middle East. Maybe it could have some Farsi or Greek in it as well (that may be too much though).
Thanks for the suggestions, friend. And yeah, interestingly enough, there are actually more extant Christian runestones than pagan ones.
Skaldic Bard please do a talk with Jonathan Pageau and Richard Rohlin ☦️
You should do Hristos Anesti in Old Norse
