For anyone curious, this is a poem from the Icelandic Saga of Egil Skallagrimsson. It appears in Chapter 40. There's also another poem from the same saga that is quite beautiful called - Sonatorrek (The Irreparable Loss of Sons).
Would you kindly translate it please?
@@sararios5928 th-cam.com/video/ZCdW4cWGqzg/w-d-xo.html
In Old Norse and English
@@samclark123 thank you!
Ahhh just like the bible...irreparable loss of sons
I've been wondering.
Thank you!
I've really grown to love the slower paced version of this song made by so many other artists, but I like this too! It feels more real and authentic.
The singer is French.
@@burnedout1156 you can tell, the accent was off somehow
That slightly screaming vocal in the background just adds that wild variable that gives that Viking vibe 👌
Screaming?
Huh?
its vocal style called white voice. from slavs:)
It's not called screaming.
@@chubbybunny6975 What's it called?
It’s cool how most Germanic languages still retain those old words like “kaupa”,in Dutch is “Kopen” in danish “at Køber” and in German is “Kaufen” which in English translates to “to buy”
Also, in most Slavic languages the verb is "kupit' "😮😅
Every time I hear this song I get chills and a sense of expectation of great things to come.
One must be in pursuit of great things, not just expect them ✨
Wow Mitchell Williams, you look quite overweight! maybe you should get the expectation of a trip to the gym!
Skol 🍻
Voiceplay acapella group did an amazing version of this song in English. Well worth a listen.

Both 👍‼Greetings from Germany
This is actually the first time I heard "My Mother Told Me" in something other than English. Even though I don't speak this language, I feel the english translation reduces it to an extent. This was simply beautiful.
Hindarfjäll released their version some months ago, highly recommended! ✨👌⚒
Luckily you don't need to understand it to enjoy it. If that was the case I wouldn't listen to half the songs I do.
Old Norse is a lovely language. It's highly compact, with a lot of information being put into the endings of words. Noun endings change according to the part of speech they take in the same way that verbs change according to the tense. This allows the speaker to drop a lot of words that would otherwise be needed in English, making just a few words equivalent to a whole English sentence. It's a lovely language, and worth looking at more deeply!
It's Icelandic, a Nordic language that is usually called "the modern Viking language"
As a Swede, I only understand a few words.
For example, "I'm going to make a sandwich because I'm hungry, should you have one too?" Is very easy to understand.
But imagine that you can only understand "I * * * Sandwich * * * * Hungry * You * * Too?" so you can perhaps understand how difficult it is for a Swede to try to understand Icelandic.
@@miniblasan5717 That's kind of how the translation into english feels. Like it's incomplete somehow. You get the idea but there's something missing.
Music & text :Egill Skallagrímsson
Þat mælti mín móðir, (thus spoke my mother
at mér skyldi kaupa (that i should buy
fley ok fagrar árar, (a ship and beautiful oars,
fara á brott með víkingum, (go away with Vikings
standa upp í stafni, (stand upon the prow
stýra dýrum knerri, (steer a fancy knarr
halda svá til hafnar (then head to port
hǫggva mann ok annan. (slay this and that man
Thank you! This translation makes much more sense than the one I usually see elsewhere.
at mér skyldi kaupa "for me should they(the family) buy". Egill's kin are pissed because he has killed another boy and forced them into an unnecessary a blood feud, His mum however says the family stands to make a profit if they outfit her murderous son as a viking.
@@Jauhl1 there is no for in the sentence there is a at that is equal to að in modern icelandic so in modern icelandic it would be "að mér skyldi kaupa"
@@beggygujons7724 It's directly from the wiki. Here is Jackson Crawford's translation. th-cam.com/video/KwUkiIDv7Is/w-d-xo.html
"they ought to buy me" anyway his mother is saying "they" should buy Egil a ship, nothing about Egill himself buying a ship as you wrote and as it says in the viking tv show song.
Thank you for the lyrics! Where can I find this song written in runes?
Every time I here Skàlds songs, I get goosebumps, it feels like I’m actually marching to war.
Weirdly makes me want to march to war. Happily.
Try out Danheim
same and her singing just simz like the waar
Війна це жахливо але це стало частиною нашого життя і ми воюємо щоб захистити себе і Європу від москальскої зарази
I imagine this is what the Valkyries sound like as they escort you to Valhalla
Hälsningar och tacksamhet från Sverige, det stimulerar min ADHD hjärna att jag kan sitta tålmodigt och vänta på mitt byte och havet.
I love Sweden, i hope one day i can live there.
Sunil jag håller med dig, bara sitta och inte göra något annat är hur skönt när den här spelar i backgrunden
As someone who’s also diagnosed with ADHD I totally agree with you
@@farnazina4425 ha en trevlig dag, hoppas att du uppnår storheter likt de kända människorna i det förflutna.
@@sunilnakah6329 tack så mycket. Jag önskar dig det samma
so that's amazing ... and that voice of yours ..🇧🇻🌹
Vi elsker dette landet , alt for norge
I've always loved skald and this song im glad they finally covered it the inaunciation and syllable emphasis differences are obvious and probably important to the old tongue either way good shit Skol!
Трек и звучание просто огонь,аж мурашки по спине.🔥🔥🔥Молодцы ребята,так держать.👍
Согласен.
В полностью с вами согласен! Обожаю эту группу!!!!
I'll be adding this to my songlist for today's ride
J'aime beaucoup votre groupe vous avez une très belle voix😊
Singing this while walking to war. Thank you Justine for this gift of a chant. 🌹😍 in love with Viking's chants.
The gym ain't war bud
@@brt1strrbb110 lmao fk
@@brt1strrbb110 Imagine taking a joke seriously.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 yeah...imagine it.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 you're made me confused there.
I swear the old Norse language is in my opinion one of THE most beautiful sounding languages in the world, and I've lived in Germany and speak German, I've traveled to France, Romania, Bulgaria, Dubai, Iraq, I've been all over the place and STILL Old Norse is one of the best languages, it gives me chills every time I hear it. I would LOVE to learn to speak it, but for now I settled on learning how to read and write the even older Elder Futhark
Recommend to check out älvdalska 👍
check out his channel, hes teaches old norse.
th-cam.com/users/JacksonCrawford
i'd like to learn old norse too, but since it's a dead language it would *be totally useless
@@NicoleBe I don't think it'd be useless. We need a lot more people to learn old languages to keep them alive
@@shroomtastic4875 what i meant is that it would not have a use on daily basis. unlike scottish gaelic, for example, which is old and rare but is still alive, old norse is a dead language because it has evolved into other languages. i used to learn latin (not my choice) and i've always struggled to find the utility of it
“Rise. It’s time. This moment has been a long time coming. You know that you’ve been chosen. You know you can’t keep running. Stop spinning in circles and start believing in the magic, of who you are meant to be. Spread your wings, and don’t forget to take flight. You’ve been growing them stronger since the start of your life. You only get one chance at this; so honey, let’s get it right. You have the power inside you to soar. Don’t ever give up the fight. Dig down deep and find it inside; all of this power you’ve taught yourself how to hide. Call it to the surface. It’s right there, in your mind. Only you can fulfill your destiny and purpose. Brave girl, it is time to fly.“
I love how when singing this it flows directly of my tounge without me speaking elder futhark or icelandic
Because it speaks to the blood Shield Brother
@@jamesengle6833 oh gods i love being norse
Hello❤️ My video is quite good. Is it ok with you?
We making it out of the warships with this one 🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 💯
Gives me the same chills I get when I hear the traditional bagpipes. Awesome!
This is by far the best verison imo
I LOVE SKALD and their music 💕
Much love from Niagara Falls NY
If you like the Nordic vibe you´d want to check all of this out too:
Wardruna, Kalandra, Myrkur, Kati Rán, Heilung, Sorten Muld, Garmarna, Kalavala, Danheim, Eivør, Faun, Blackbriar, Snow White Blood, Gaal, Tyr and
Amon Amarth for starters.
Yes great French band singing Nordic songs !
I love this song, I have heard different covers, (one of my favorite is by Clamavi de Profondis). But waw, I am already addicted to this one.
Nordische Musik ist das beste was ich je gehört habe, ich liebe es und die Band Skald ist der hammer aber da gibt es noch viele andere super Bands!!!
Wardruna, Kalandra, Myrkur, Kati Rán, Heilung, Sorten Muld, Garmarna, Kalavala, Danheim, Eivør, Faun, Blackbriar, Snow White Blood, Gaal, Tyr, Amon Amarth zum Anfang.
Grüss aus Dänemark. :)
@@ulfdanielsen6009 ja genau, danke dir 😉😁 grüße aus Deutschland
@@ulfdanielsen6009 Thanks for your recommendations! I really like Hindarfjäll, Heldom and Vévaki as well
@@ulfdanielsen6009and baldrs draumar,it’s not really “Nordic” but Frisian which is also Germanic and has Pagan elements pretty cool
I'm amazed at how many of the words are still recognisable for a modern scandinavian. Sure, it's words that have been used for millenia, but still.
Some say the old GODS are dead. But thats not true. They still watch over those who believe in them and those who respect mother earth and our pagan ancestors who fought and died in battle to protect their lands.
Thank you ,,SKALD´´very much for recalling us of the past. Important work that you are doing!!!👍🦉🦅🦬🐎🦛
Two times I heard the banshee scream. The first time in front of my window, but I was to afraid to look outside though at this time I didn´t knew what in Odins name this was. And the second time at the edge of a forest seven days later. Some years later learned about the banshee I found out that two family members died during this time. Since this experience I know for sure that some things our ancestors believed in actually exist. And I like that. Makes this world much more interesting!!
This is so great to find on Odin's Day! ❤ Finally you did a version of this great song!
*Ođinn for old Norse,or Woden for Anglo Saxon and old frisian,not Odin,Ođinn
This has the same vibe as their song "Ec Man Iotna" but more refined and I love both songs so much.
The song I was waiting for since I heard it on Vikings the first time. Thanks. 😍
Oh my Odin, THIS is how this song should be listened.
I remember King harald and his Brother halfdan Singing This in vikings It was the best Song in all the series.
Oh YES. the english version is one of my favorites to sing, and now I am going to learn this.
Love from Georgia (Country) 🔥
შეინარჩუნეთ თქვენი კულტურა, სკანდინავიელებო 😍

Yes great French band singing Nordic songs ! Try their other great songs :)

To me it sounds like a mother telling old tales to her child of glory and pain, ending with gentle humming because the child fell asleep. Idk I think too much when I listen to music.
