Onward, Christmen! St Olaf Song (Old Norse)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Here’s a song I wrote and performed again in Old Norse. Part four of my Sagas in Song series, this one is from Snorri Sturluson’s Saga of Saint Olaf - the saga is enormous, almost 300 pages, so it was quite interesting having to condense it.
The refrain is based on St Olaf’s famous warcry: "Onward, onward, Christmen, Crossmen, Kingsmen!", as recounted in the saga.
He performed many miracles in his life and his body didn't decompose after his death, leading to his official recognition of Sainthood.
My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.

Old Norse lyrics:
Mun ek nú segja frá sǫgu Óláfs helga
Noregr var hans óðal.
Var tólf vetra gamall, er hann steig á herskip
ok fór í hérnað fyrsta sinn.
Óláfr sigldi til landa margra í víking.
Bardaga háðu heiðna ok kristna báða við.
Kom hann til Rúðu í Valland ok lét sik skíra.
Var þat upphaf ferðar hans til heilagdóms eilífs.
Þá er skírnavatnit sló hann, fylldisk hann heilags anda ok
vánar til ættleifðar sinnar yfir Noregsríki ǫllu.
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram fyr Noregsland!
Hann fekk heilaga anda,
var sterkasti allra,
hilmir sinna manna,
yfirkonungr lands.
Óláfr vilði þá sigla út til Jórsala
en dreymði merkilegan draum, maðr kom til hans:
“Far aftr til óðala þinna, þú munt vera
konungr Noregs at eilífu”, þá sigldi hann.
Yfir þeim eignum sátu útlendir menn, er átti faðir
Óláfs ok hans faðir, hann ætlaði at heimta fǫðurarf.
Fram! Fram, Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram, Krossmen!
Fram! Fram, Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram, fyr Noregsland!
Var honum vel fagnat.
Vilði ei gjalda skatt,
en verja vilði hann
oddi ok eggju land.
Fór Óláfr á fund konunga fimm Upplanda.
“Nauðsyn er á at reka af undirbrot þat,
er Danir ok Svíar hafa yðr undir lagt”.
Stóðu upp konungar þeir ok gáfu konungsnafn.
Óláfr konungr sjalfr fylgði fram merkinu sínu
fyr Nesjum ok rak Svein hlaðajarl ok Svía ór Noregi.
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram, fyr Noregsland!
Lagðr inn var kross
á konungs skjǫld stóra.
Lét hann tíðir veita,
þá herblástr blása.
Var siðr konungs at rísa ok til kirkju ganga.
Hann lagði á þat allan hug at heiðni taka af.
Á hverju Þingi lét hann upp kristin lǫg lesa
ok til konungs tekinn var um Noreg allan.
En Knútr inn ríki Danakonungr vann England ok
þóttisk eiga at erfðum Noreg allan ok vestrlǫnd breta.
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram fyr Noregsland!
Óláfr hefr val.
Danakonungr skal
Noregsfólkit herja
með mikit mannatal.
Knútr dró saman óvígjan her í Danmǫrku
ok krafði þess, at Óláfr gerisk maðr hans.
Bauð Knútr fram ofrfé, bœndr urðu blekkðir.
Óláfr krafði sér liðs, en bœndr snørum frá.
Tók ráð þat at fara ór Noregi, þaðan sigldi í Hólmgarð.
Vilði hann einhvern dag fara aftr til óðala sinna.
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram fyr Noregsland!
Danir váru sterkir,
Óláfr var án liðs,
en Óláfs konungstígn
var gefin af Dróttni.
Skaut Óláfr til Guðs sínu máli ok bað hann
láta þat upp koma, er hann sæi, at bezt gegndi.
Sýndisk Óláfr Tryggvason konungi ok kvað:
“Far aftr til ríkis með þeim styrk, er Guð gaf þér.”
“Þat er konungsframi at sigrask á óvinum sínum, en
vegligr dauði at falla í orrostu með liði sínu.”
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram fyr Noregsland!
Haraldr hans bróðir
ok trúlyndir drengir
komu á fund konungs,
er hann í land sigldi.
Óláfr ok herr komu út á Stiklastaði.
Hjálm gylltan á hǫfðu ok krosslagðan skjǫld hafði.
Þórir hundr fjándi kallaði: “Fram, bóandmenn!”,
en konungsmenn æpðu þá heróp ok mæltu svá:
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram fyr Noregsland!
Þat var arfr hans!
Hann var af ætt Haralds,
Guð valði hann til valds!
Þat var ríki hans!
Óláfr gekk fram ór skjaldborg í ǫndurða fylking.
Hann barðisk alldjarfliga ok marga menn hann vá.
En snøri hann í móti Kálfi, er sár veitir.
Þorsteinn knarrarsmiðr hjó til konungs með ǫxi.
Þá lagði Þórir hundr spjóti til hans miðju.
Kom blóð Óláfs á sár Þóris ok þar skjótt grǫri.
Tólf mánuðum eptir fall hans var lík hans alhrein.
Var atkvæði byskups at hann sannheilagr var.
Fram! Fram Kristmenn!
Fram! Fram Krossmen!
Fram! Fram Konungsmenn!
Fram! Fram, fyr Noregsland.
Noregskonungr ey!
Lík hans var jafnan hrein!
Orðstírr hans aldrigi deyr!
Hann sitr við helgu mey!
Edit: Now on Spotify etc :-) Here’s a song I wrote and performed again in Old Norse about Saint King Olaf II of Norway, known also as Norway’s Eternal King. The refrain in the song is based on St Olaf’s famous (and awesome) warcry: Onward, onward, Christmen, Crossmen, Kingsmen!, as recounted in the saga.

You should do Were you There when they crucified my lord or Amazing Grace or something in Old Norse. It's not really my preference( Althought i do like the music, I prefer Latin Chants, even though I'm Episcopalian) I think it'd be really weird to hear.
May I ask for the lyrics? It helps me reading at a slower pace than in the video and understand the ON text better.

Amazing story i had no idea about st Olaf thank you! and this hymn is very well done too! Fram fram christmen fram!
Where is the icon of saint Olaf from?
So beautiful, I never knew Norse Christian songs could be so inspiring and overall just this good.
Shame on all the neo-pagans whose ancestors most certainly converted.
This is true Norse ancestry, this and taking rhodiola before you workout.
Saint Olaf one of my saints of devotion🙏 Together with St Gabriel Archangel and St Louis Ix of France. Great song!!!
I can deduce from your selection you are facing some tough battles.
God be with you and may peace triumph in your life, my brother in the faith.

@@lopakacooper1668 У Православных-Христиан. Св-Олаф тоже Святой. День памяти 11-августа. Он Святой Благоверный Король Норвегии и Святой Мучиник. Друг Святого Русского Князя Ярослава Мудрого и его Викинга-Отца Святого Князя Владимира.
My confirmation Saint! 🙏 God Bless anyone listening.
Wow! I chose St. Patrick, if not him it would have been Augustine of Hippo, Olaf would have been after him.
Saint Olaf, pray for us. Thanks for this piece of art.
Absolutely wonderful!
Finally someone honours our Eternal King's memeory in the modern age, and in our ancient tongue no less!
I love that you emphesise both how important Olaf was for establishing Christian laws, but also our national independence from foreign rule!
If you ever do a song of his son, Magnus the Good, I'd love it if you emphesised his importance for Norwegian Independence.
The Norwegians seeing how oppressive the Danes are with their heavy taxes, unjust laws and differentiation between Danes and Norwegians, choose to have king of their own people. And who do they choose but none other than the Son of the Saint himself, Magnus Olafsson!
Noted, good idea! Og mange takk for at du alltid legger igjen snille kommentarer! :-)

Haha, the pleasure is all mine. I think you're doing a great job! Skål min venn!

Nice! My city in Sweden used to venerate St Olaf and we have still have many places and things named after him. He is said to have landed here by ship when going to take back Norway.
Yep, he landed there when returning from Kievan Rus - awesome. Bring back the veneration tradition for your city ;-)
@@SkaldBard We still have a pilgrimage that many people go on, from here (Sundsvall) to Trondheim. It's called st Olavsleden. :)

@@StreamusAeneas ah ok i get it now
Hail to the Eternal King of Norway! Also, I appreciate the usage of “Viking” as a verb.
I guess if someone were to use “Viking” as a verb it would go something like “We’re going a-Viking”?
@@lopakacooper1668 My understanding is that in Old Norse the word “viking” means “piracy” or “voyage”, so someone would “go on a viking” if they were going on a voyage or raid.
The word is actually both a profession and an action - in the sagas, you see people being referred to as a "víkingr mikill", i.e. "a mighty pirate", but it can also be used to denote the action of raiding/plundering in the form of "fara í víking", literally "to fare a-viking", "to go raiding". So it's both
@@SkaldBard Interesting, thanks for the information.
I discovered Olav den Hellig when we lived in Norway. He became a dear friend to me and I often pray to him. I’m wearing his cross this very moment! An excellent saint for all of us. I encourage everyone to seek his intercession. Be for oss, Hellig Olav!
A great Saint indeed! He worked miracles during his life and after his death. Saint Olaf King and Martyr intercede for us to Christ our God.
Very beautiful song dear bard! God bless you.
You and Farya Faraji sending new song in one day. What a nice surprise.
I get chills listening to these. 10/10 best genre of our time!!

One of my favourite scenes from the Saga of Olaf "den Heilage" Haraldsson:
*"Then rose Dale-Gudbrand up and spoke: “Where is now your God, o king? I think that now he holds his chin lower than before; and it seems to me that you are all not as overconfident as you were yesterday, least among all that horned man (called as such due to his Mitre) you call “bishop”, who sits there among you, but now is our god come, who governs all, and he looks on you with sharp eyes, and I see that you are now full of fear, dearing not to look up with your eyes. Throw now away your supersition and believe in our god, who has you in his hands”, and so endeth the speech of Gudbrand. But the king sayeth to Kolbein, so the peasants could not know of it: “If perchance it happens that during my speech all direct their attention away from the idol, then you shall take your club and deal him a blow with all your might.”"*
*And then the king stood up and spoke: “Much you have spoken of to us this morning; and you wondered yesterday about the fact that you may not see our God? But if you only wait a little while, he will come to us. You scare us with your god, who is both blind and deaf and can neither save himself nor others, and cannot come or go anywhere, except if he be carried there by you, and I know that in a short moment he shall meet with great misfortune; and look now to the east: there comes now our God with a great light.”*
*And then the sun came up, and all the peasants looked towards it in astonishment. But in the same moment Kolbein the strong dealt with all his might a blow so powerful to their god, that he burst asunder and fell into pieces. And there came out of it mice big as cats, as well as worms and toads and rats. The peasants become so afraid that they fled, some to their ships and some to their horses."*
I was extremely close to putting that in the song, wrote a stanza for it and everything, but didn't want it to be too long! Tis indeed glorious
@@SkaldBard It is indeed. And in all honesty it is already quite impressive that you have managed to fit so much of the saga into less than 6 minutes of song. Its quite fun watching these and recognizing the rootwords for some of the words in my Norwegian (I use a very conservative version of New Norwegian called Høgnorsk).
@@OlavEngelbrektson that's awesome, I love Høgnorsk - was considering writing a song in that at some point

Его Бабашу Ольга или Хельга была Христианкой,как и его родной дядя Глеб. А за 128-лет, до Святого Владимира,были Викинги,которые приняли Христианство это Аскольд и Дир и вся их дружина приняли Христианство в 860-году.

And what about other saintly men after schism?

@@VojislavMoranic I did not watch the Vikings show, but I looked up and I think it is "Alfred the Great". Good to know, thank you. But he is a pre-schism saint, isn't he?
Quite cool. Sounds like it would fit among the other war music.
_Ora pro nobis, rex perpetuus Norvegiae._
Although my sympathies are more with the farmers it is as per usual a great tune, and i hope there will be many more.
For a suggestion, maybe one about Eiríkr Hákonarson, or the battle of svolder
Ah yes, Florian Geyer.

Where did you learn Old Norse?
University and independent study
Hey The Skaldic Bard , can you make video : Ved Stanford Brua- Norse song about the battle of Stamford Bridge , please 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I'll be doing one about Harald Hardrada at some point so no doubt that'll include details of Stamford Bridge :-)
You are all aware that he is an orthodox saint?This icon is orthodox too.
Nuh uh
He was born before the great schism, he's canonized by both the Latin and Eastern European churches.
How do you make sure you are pronouncing these old languages in your songs correctly? Do you just word by word look at the phonetics or do you seek out advisors for these things?
It's a tricky thing, really, because it's rarely the case that we can be 100% certain about how a "dead" language sounded, I just do the research on each one and try to replicate what is considered to be the closest pronunciation
