Hårgadansen or Hårgasägnen is a legend about how the devil himself, disguised as a fiddler, made the young people in the village of Hårga in Hälsingland dance themselves to death. The oldest known record of the legend was made by the commissioner of Bollnäs Johan Gabriel Lindström in 1785 and is reproduced in JD Flitenberg's collections about Hälsinglan
@@Thekoryosmenstribepodcast It's a kind of metaphor for living only for pleasure. Chasing money or fame, you will dance yourself to death to the accompaniment of the violin the devil is playing.
Swedish. "Hårgalåten", or the "Harga song", is a Swedish folk song. The song is connected to a 1785 story published by Johan Gabriel Lindström. The song describes how a mysterious fiddler came to the community near Hårgaberget or "Harga mountain", and played the fiddle. The youth danced to the tune that the fiddler played and they were unable to stop. Some of the youth noticed a cloven hoof, leading them to believe the fiddler was demonic. Even as morning came, the adults noticed they were all still dancing, and the fiddler still fiddling. Later, the dancers started dropping dead from exhaustion. Ths has nothing to do with the Viking age.
Interesting. There are similarities there to the story of the Pied Piper, which is a German story about a pipe player who leads away a village's children after the adults refuse to pay him for getting rid of their rats. And these days the old folks accuse musicians of turning their kids to "worshipping Satan"...Man, musicians just can't catch a break, can they?
The Hårga Mountain is a real place. I come from there and if you go to the top you'll see a circle in the mountain as if the rock has been grinded down from wear and tear.
English translation: The fiddler grabbed the fiddle from it's case And lifted his bow towards the dawning Sunday sun Then the people of Hårga came in a hurry Forgot about God and the whole world They danced over meadows and hills High upon the top of Hårga ridge One wore out both shoes and heels One could not stop the dance Where do you come from, you who is playing Tell us who taught you such play, so wild and mad If you don't stop our hearts will burst Oh God preserve us, he has a cloven hoof! The bells had rung in the valley, And father and mother and brother Walked to the parish church Where can Hårga's youth now be? Oh my God, they are still dancing! They danced to the Hårga tune High upon the top of Hårga ridge They are not far from crying Dancing, they now wore out soul and body Stop your bow, fiddler Before we dance our life, soul and bones away No he doesn't stop his dance Until we all fall dead down
@@Jürgen_von_Schumacher Not the same entity. We have Näcken in Sweden, and he lures people into the water. I'm pretty sure, because of the mentioning of the rams hoof, that it's the devil or one of his minions that's playing the people of Hårga to death.
@@dalemoore435 it really started to appear in the late 70’s/ early 80’s so it was around for almost 50 years. Also, if you look at the names of some black metal bands, you’d see why some of us were a little confused.
My grandmother used to sing this song to me as a lullaby when I was a child. It was obviously a little bit frightening, but also beautiful. And still comforting when it was sung from my grandmother.
We have an Appalachian tale about this, but the deer men will come and dance with the girls until they die and run away once it's over, only to come back again. If a man asks you to dance you look at their feet and if you see deer hooves you run away and tell the men.
I would like to share a very local legend that I grew up with. When I went to middle-school (in Norway), our music teacher told us a story about the neighboring village and their fiddler. Apparently, there was at some point a ban on fiddle music, so the the village fiddler would go to the woods and play the fiddle for himself, but the wind and the echoes would carry the tunes over to our village, and so the superstitious in my village believed it to be the devil playing his his fiddle in woods. I'm guessing that most of these myths and legends are Christianized versions of the Fossegrim and/or Nøkken stories. Edit: Grammar
@@tylersouzayou missed the point entirely. Why would i think it was the devil? My first thought would be that it’s someone attempting to avoid the ban.
@@Davidbrompton58 I remember as a young child, during a wrothful thunderstorm, my late grandfather told me it was Thor smashing his hammer. Sometimes people just tell the old tales, simply for old tale's sake, even when they know better. Probably a fiddler in the woods made them connect with folklore, and it was exciting. A connection with the long past is a wonderful thing, and for a brief moment, you are allowed to play their part. And scare your own children, as once was proper.
From the desolate cityscapes of Vasterås to the wilds of the countryside. Still as hauntingly mysterious as ever. I‘m all for this new era of Ofdrykkja.
My god this video made me cry happy tears! I've grown up with this song very close to my heart since my family has always loved it and have sung it together multiple times. And the song always had a magical feel to me. I live in Bollnäs. Bollnäs is the muncipally where Hårgaberget(Hårga Mountain), and Hårga village is located. And I drive through the cute little Hårga village regularly. The song reminds me of my great grandmother who was amazing at playing the "nyckelharpa"(the Nyckelharpa is a traditional Swedish string instrument) and she used to travel all around Hälsingland(a province where Bollnäs and Hårga is located) playing the song and multiple other songs most of her life. The last time i heard her play the nyckelharpa she was 93 years old and me, my mun and my boyfriend visited her for a "fika" and someone mentioned her musical skills and she sprung up out of her seat with a big smile and fetched the nyckelharpa and sat down and started playing for us. She was strong and healthy even for her old age but her fingers were of course more shaky and not as quick as they used to be but that almost made it more beautiful. Thank you for making this video and exposing this music to a wider audience so that more people might find the magic in it!
I have always loved these kinds of songs about sagas or some folklore story from another time and life! The Old Norse language and those the derive from that language is so beautiful and I also just discovered I have Scottish, Indeginous people and Norwegian/Danish blood
I went up on Hårgaberget today, for the first time. Such a surreal feeling for someone who's been fascinated by our old Folk legends. The legend of Hårga is very precious to me as someone who is also local to the landscape. I remember being taught the song when I was in third grade. Thank you for making this!
Clicked on this expecting to be just another song from another Viking Metal band that I didn't know yet... well, that was a surprise! Beautiful song! It gave me chills!!!! Just searched for the full album and I'm currently listening to it. I'm loving it!
Welcome to swedish folk music, the precursor of our metal scene. Folk music was demonized by the church back in the day, hence why the devil is often portrayed playing a fiddle. The church did not like swedish folk. Edit. i can recommend Scandinavian folk on Nyckelharpa by Myrkur. Its played on a instrument thats actually a swedish invention,. The key harp. It was featured on one of our money bills until they changed the currencly some years back.
This is an amazing version of Hårgalåten. And also to every american who ever had 1% swedish DNA in My Heritage should be a little more humble about swedish culture than som folks in this commentary section.

The Norse mythology is probably the most accurate depiction we have of ancient Europe before the Romans invaded, in Britain where I'm from for example we know was the focal point of Druid practice and yet, we have no idea what they actually practiced, the Romans wiped everything out.
Helt fantastiskt!!! Brukar kolla runt på nätet efter nya versioner av denna visa, och äntligen kom den bästa. Denna visa ligger mig väldigt varmt om hjärtat då jag bor endast ett stenkast ifrån Hårgaåsens fot, och därmed är uppväxt med denna mytomspunna sägen. Tack så mycket för detta vackra verk.
Absolutely stunning song and haunting story. The instrumentation at times reminds one of Loreena McKennitt's Celtic folk music, and a good reminder of how all good music is connected.

Absolutely. I came here from the Horror History of The May Queen/Midsommar, and this was the second version I found (the first was the version the lecturer [CZ, I think is his name?] recommended, but wasn't a fan of that). Honestly, it's my preferred version of Hargalaten.
Ich kenne die Band als sie sich noch Apati nannte und habe einen ähnlichen Lebensstil geführt. Viele Drogen und eine lebensverneinende Einstellung zum Leben gehabt. Ich fühle mich mit der Band sehr verbunden und freue mich über diesen Wandel. In tiefer Verbundenheit, liebe Grüße aus Sachsen / Deutschland

Tror Hårgalåten är inspirerad av den mass hysteri som pågick under 1500 talet. Nån slags mental sjukdom fick dom att börja dansa konstant. Det sägs ha börjat i Tyskland men spred sig snabbt runt hela Europa.
Another person wrote this "Hårgadansen or Hårgasägnen is a legend about how the devil himself, disguised as a fiddler, made the young people in the village of Hårga in Hälsingland dance themselves to death" This does sounds an awfully alot like some version of the creature known as Näcken in some folktales.
Greetings from Brazil! Another outstanding music vídeo! It just made me listen the whole album and I must say, what a perfection! Keep up with the great job!
This kind of reminds me of the dance marathons that happened in America during the 1920s and 1930s. People would compete for prize money to see who could continue dancing the longest. When I learned about it the teacher tried to make it sound like a fun event to go and watch. I remember thinking how much it would have sucked to dance that long only to lose. And for the winner the prize was a little money. I wondered how much that prize money would get them in the long run. Was it really a substantial amount or did the majority of the money from the spectators go to the organizers? This video really made me think of that.
The dancing plague of 1518, or dance epidemic of 1518 (French: Épidémie dansante de 1518), was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (modern-day France), in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518. Somewhere between 50 and 400 people took to dancing for weeks. There are many theories behind the phenomenon, the most popular being stress-induced mass hysteria, suggested by John Waller.[1][2] Other theories include ergot and religious explanations. There is controversy concerning the number of deaths.[3] From wiki.

Il violinista tirò fuori il violino dalla custodia E sollevò l'archetto verso il sole nascente domenicale. Immediatamente il popolo di Hårga accorse dimenticando Dio e il mondo intero Da dove vieni tu che suoni? Dimmi chi ti ha insegnato questo modo di suonare? Vecchio selvaggio Se non ti fermi, il tuo cuore scoppierà Oddio, ha i piedi caprini Le campane avevano suonato nella valle e lì andavano Padre e madre e fratello verso la chiesa parrocchiale Dove possono essere andate tutte le giovani di Hårga? Oh mio Dio, stanno ancora ballando Violinista, ferma il tuo archetto davanti a te Danzano la vita e l'anima e tutte le ossa fuori dal corpo No, non fermerà la sua danza prima Che tutti cadano a terra morti.

Was it really a substantial amount or did the majority of the money from the spectators go to the organizers? This video really made me think of that.
The dancing plague of 1518, or dance epidemic of 1518 (French: Épidémie dansante de 1518), was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (modern-day France), in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518. Somewhere between 50 and 400 people took to dancing for weeks. There are many theories behind the phenomenon, the most popular being stress-induced mass hysteria, suggested by John Waller.[1][2] Other theories include ergot and religious explanations. There is controversy concerning the number of deaths.[3]
From wiki.

Jag kommer att älska varje sekund av detta🥀🍁
Pure art! Fantastic music.
Il violinista tirò fuori il violino dalla custodia
E sollevò l'archetto verso il sole nascente domenicale.
Immediatamente il popolo di Hårga accorse
dimenticando Dio e il mondo intero
Da dove vieni tu che suoni?
Dimmi chi ti ha insegnato questo modo di suonare?
Vecchio selvaggio
Se non ti fermi, il tuo cuore scoppierà
Oddio, ha i piedi caprini
Le campane avevano suonato nella valle e lì andavano
Padre e madre e fratello verso la chiesa parrocchiale
Dove possono essere andate tutte le giovani di Hårga?
Oh mio Dio, stanno ancora ballando
Violinista, ferma il tuo archetto davanti a te
Danzano la vita e l'anima e tutte le ossa fuori dal corpo
No, non fermerà la sua danza prima
Che tutti cadano a terra morti.
Tack så mycket ❤
Helt underbar låt! Klart en ny favorit
Mágico! 🖤
