My grandfather would sing this to ease his mind during Korean war. His father left Iceland for the US and died when he was very young. His only distinct memory of his father was humming or singing this song while working timber. One day at work I get a call from my aunt to hurry to the hospital. The nurse said he was singing in a foreign language when he passed and I knew in that moment that he was singing of the raven.
@@mennyboy1528 Fólkvangr is, according to The Poetic Edda, the ninth world in Ásgarðr where Freyja rules, and along with Valhǫll is the place where warriors come after they die. Here is the quote from the edda: "Fólkvangr er inn níundi, en þar Freyja ræðr sessa kostum í sal; hálfan val hún kýss hverjan dag, en hálfan Óðinn á."

It's an Icelandic song bout a hungry raven. Sorry poser ass cosplayers has nothing to do with vikings. Written many many years later. So please stop dressing up in ur fake norse costume making tik toks to this song
I am an Icelander and I know the raven. It is a remarkable bird, funny and cute. It has survived in my country like my mothers and fathers have done. Iceland is a difficult country to live in, but we have been here since 874.
@@tinycoinfromholland1391 That was alright (Except for the Íslansku part, which is supposed to have a small letter because of the ''sk'' rule and an e instead of an a), but maybe refrain from saying „Talar einhver íslensku?“ because that means ''Does anyone/someone speak Icelandic?''. Instead you could say something like „Talar eitthvert ykkar íslensku?“ or „Talar einhver hérna íslensku?“ which mean ''Does anyone of you speak Icelandic'' and “Does anyone/someone here speak Icelandic“ respectably. Other than that good luck on your Icelandic learning journey :)

you are the master ....... :) , Odinn sound fine to me , im Brasilian but the sound and other things reminder me other lifes.. but this is another history .....
well, Odin is the Anglicized version of it, which is also correct, but I think that Óðinn -which is pronounced Owthin- sounds better, nothing wrong with either.

If Frozen was a complete different story and male version: (Good Intro chant/song)
Manly music. Your doing It right
It sounds similar to proto-germanic
Its the song of the raven (which represents Odin), so its the song of Odin.
at least that's what I think
this is like choosing to grab hold of the evil forces and command them for natural good? like ceasing the chaos power and overcoming it's destructiveness with personal power? taming an untamable thing through courage and intelligence, tricking the trickster but with honesty not deception=letting the net tangle up the caster?
it is the same lyrics as Krumi by Valravn? :o

Yes and yes.This is old lcelandic song..

The name is in the title-Krummavisur.This is just one of it's versions.Just google it,you will find all that you need about it.
