Interesting fact: The theme for Skyrim's main theme "Dragonborn" and the song "Sovngarde" have the same lyrics. But Dragonborn would've been sung by the current generations of nords and warriors. Sovngarde would have been sung by the ancient heroes and old generations. This implies that Sovngarde contains the original melody and tempo, considering the fact that it was sung by those who originally made the song/prophecy. Just an interesting fact for anyone who wanted to know. :)
Interesting And just to add at it,the original song "Sovngarde" was quite because they were at peace. But the main theme was during hard times. So, it should be EPIC Thanks for that
This is an excerpt from a book in Skyrim called Songs of Skyrim. "The following is an ancient song we've only recently been able to translate. Without a tune or a sure pronunciation the song is lost to time. It's included here to show the deep history of song here in Skyrim. The original version..." What follows is the lyrics in the Dragon language, and then the translation. That song also includes the extra lyrics this song has. The Song of the Dragonborn that plays on the main menu is a different version that has the tune that Morrowind, Oblivion, and TES VI's main theme has. Since it's never heard in the game itself, just the main menu, I don't think it actually exists in the Elder Scrolls canon.
XD gameplay I thought that made it more epic walking threw the valley slowly as you hear and the scrolls have foretold of black wings in the cold in dovahzul as the black wings fly over your head roaring
The Dragonborn can feel the Nord heroes in Sovngarde chanting for him. Calling him to come and end alduin's pillaging of Sovngarde and save Tamriel once and for all.
Well, I mean he isn’t gone once and for all as Akatosh is the one who absorbed him. So Alduin will return, but only when Akatosh and the others have decided that the world has waxed weary and feeble. This story was telling that the Gods were not yet done with this world, they still want it to live, the reason why Akatosh let us be born as Dovahkiin.
That moment when you realize this is literally the equivalent of a Heavenly Choir cheering you on to victory, and that the entire Elder Scrolls series has been building toward YOU (and thus the previous games' theme music finally gains lyrics). I swear, it's the most overwhelming (as opposed to sharp or painful) emotional experience I've ever had with a game. I just don't know how they'd top it for TES VI.
TrueRomancer04 it's 2 years later now have you tried skyrim in VR yet? It makes that feeling you described a million times better. Going on the same adventure I've been on millions of times over the years, except ACTUALLY being there, ACTUALLY slaying Alduin the world eater, ACTUALLY saving a world that is ACTUALLY there, is something else
@David, apparently they don't even have the technology they need to be able to make it yet xD and cos it's codenamed "Project Greenheart", almost the entire community is 100% convinced that it will be set in Valenwood... Which means they'll need to have entire cities move around the map lol
@ed champagne actually if you base it on the menu theme at very least it must be a human since it refers to the dragon born as being born to both man and wyrm
@@Azraeltheangelofdeath so ... technically that excludes elves and beast folk. it is akward that a high elf dragonborn must spy on his own people and sabotage them at ellowen's party.
Imagine being demi-god but u also an errand boy who delivered the 17 ninroot, kill bandits, kill draugr, retrieve dragon stone, pay the debt for stable owner's son, pickpockets,lockpicking, trespassing (U SHOULDN'T COME HERE!!) ,etc.
I never realized this song was just hyping the fuck up my dragonborn character! When Special Edition comes out I will make a character worthy of this theme!
In a way it is. The Title theme is not the true version of the "Song of the Dragonborn," _this is!_ The story is that the lyrics were kept all these years, but the melody was lost to time. The Title Theme is basically a cover where they had to make up a whole new melody for it.
The word Dovahkiin has two meanings; the usually accepted definition of "Dragonborn" being the first. However, according to the TES wiki, the suffix "ah" can be translated to mean "hunter" giving us "Born hunter of dragons" which makes an equal amount of sense.
I can’t decide which is better, “Dragonborn” or “Sovngarde.” They both give me the chills and the “epic feels” to the max! Jeremy Soule is nothing short of an absolute genius! I can never listen to them both without feeling like I’m some sort of important destined hero
Everyone loves the main theme song (the one that is a variation of Morrowind's), but I personally think this one was better. Something empowering and mystical walking amongst the fog and heroes of Sovngarde, knowing that you will have to kill Alduin along side the 3 great dragonslayers beneath the starry heavens...

I like how this sounds like it's being song by hundreds of Nords in the hall of Valor in Sovngarde echoing downwards through Skyrim's atmosphere. Aso the fact that they're all specifically cheering you on (the dragonborn) and singing for your glory.
I want you all to remember, this is the same lyrics of the song dragonborn. This is a song about you slaying Alduin. This is not Alduin's boss music. This is YOUR boss music
I just realized something. "And the scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold, that when brothers wage war come unfurled" This apparently points to the civil war in Skyrim. But also, "brother wage war". Ralof and Hadvar are both nords, and come from the same village, or at least have relatives in the same village. They are childhood friends, apparently, maybe not brothers, but they may have been something like that. And now they fight in a war against each other. But also, Paarthurnax is a dragon just like Alduin, and dragons are at least something like family, like brothers. (They are all children of akatosh). But also, the DRAGONBORN, has the soul of a dragon and dragon blood and may be considered as something like an adopted child to akatosh (or something). Some may say (like me) that the dovahkiin is also part of the dragon family, and so THE BROTHER OF ALDUIN. And they wage war AGAINST EACH OTHER. GUYS GUYYYYSS
Like Skyrim’s theme, this is of the few theme songs I’ve heard that don’t hype up the foe your about to fight. No, it’s to hype *you* up and fill your enemy with dread. That’s what makes it so great.
The only thin I missed from Sovngarde is it hasn't got a version of valkyries. Although considering how badass women are in Skyrim I guess valkyries would be too much badass.
Well apparently it's not, I looked it up in Elder Scrolls Wikia and there's not the name of Tamriel's language, its apparently a book called "Tamarelic Lore", written by Yagrum Bagarn, the last Dwemer in Tamriel and Nirn. It carries a large list of artefacts around which the author himself has heard about threw the years of his life apparently. The book appears in both Morrwind, Oblivion and Elder Scrolls online.
Even after so many years, this video causes me just a lot of respect for the author. Without exaggeration, wonderful and useful work, thank you very much for the fact that it exists on the Internet!
About a month ago, while I was home sick with COVID, I spent most of time playing Skyrim and I finally felt ready to go through with the main questline and I was finally able to go to Sovngarde. I’ve listened to this song so many times so hearing it in the game for the first time and walking through the mist gave me the most epic chills I’ve ever had in my entire life
I started playing Skyrim not too long ago. I was hooked by its world and sidequests, so it took me quite some time to reach Sovngarde. When I first entered there, I just had to stop playing and listen, as this theme gave me chills. Just like Diablo's Harrogath theme made me feel them back when I entered that the Act V city, it was overwhelming. My utter gratitude to Jeremy Soule and Mark Uelmen, who made half of the game by composing such pieces.

This is a fantastic job for a video made only 3 months after the initial release! OMG - IF YOU REMADE THIS WITH 2021 instead of 2012 tech, OMG. LET me say, based on this ancient video, your skill is off the charts - and this comes from an Electrical Engineer who has had a passion for tech and visual for decades. Please, remake this video and I will watch the remake frequently. Of course, I'm subscribing - your talent on this one video alone, at such a primitive time, tells me you have some really awesome videos.
I want my death to come in a sword fight, on a night with rain pouring so hard you could almost swim, thunder booming, lightning flashing through the sky, and this music making up all the ambient sound, the only other noise to be heard, is the clashing of steel between me, and my opponent. As the death blow is done, as I fall to the ground, my entire life leading to the epic conclusion of a single moment, I will die with a smile, knowing I lived, fought, and died as a real man ... A true warrior.
Made it to Sovengarde for the first time yesterday. Spent a good 20 minutes enjoying how beautiful the place is and listening to the music. Only took 5 of those minutes for me to stand from my chair and shout "HOLY SHIT THAT'S SONG OF THE DRAGONBORN". Absolutely one of if not the best places I've ever been in any video game. The tone, the scenery, the music. Gold.
I know this is three years after your post, but I have to say: this is all very well and good, but how do you get BACK to Tamriel? Sovngarde is lovely, but I wouldn't want to stay there. :-D
This is by far, the highest quality video I have ever seen featuring a soundtrack from Skyrim, thank you, exactly how I would imagine it myself. Keep up the amazing work, definitely getting my sub. Cheers.
I can't describe the feelings I had when I entered sovngarde with two swords in my hands, walking through the mist unsure of what lies in front and this masterpiece playing on the background.
I only recently got into Skyrim, thanks to me coming across the Celtic Woman version of the Dragonborn song and instantly falling in love with it. While exploring around on the Elder Scrolls Wikia website, I came across the translation page for the Dragonborn song and found out that this song was “the extended version” and I have yet to get to Sovngarde, much less even get the horn of Jurgen Windcaller! (I keep getting sidetracked by every other mission LOL) But now I’m excited to get to Sovngarde to hear this epic music! (And to be reunited with Kodlak Whitemane LOL. But I won’t be happy to see that traitor Ulfric. His actions go against my beliefs and values. In role playing games, I always make my character as close to my actual person as much as I possibly can, ESPECIALLY when it comes to personality and beliefs)
You used very beautiful views in your video, and the timelapse looks great! Then, it was good idea - to put in this video all 3 versions of text. Looks magnificent. I like this vid! Thank you!!!
The mod is called Deadly dragons and the feature is called assault, you can have up to 4 dragons attack you at random times.But you can also summon the dragons via console commands.
The end of all things Subtle and let's not forget Odahviing! He swore his life to the dovahkiin, promising to never go evil and help the dovahkiin when needed!
Dragonborn, Dragonborn by his honor is sworn To keep evil forever at bay And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph’s shout Dragonborn your blessing we pray Hearken now, son of snow, to an age long ago And the tale, boldly told of THE ONE ☝️ Who kin is both wrym and the races of men with the power to rival THE SUN and the voice he did, Wield on that glorious field, when great tamriel shuddered with war, mighty thu’um like a blade, cuts through enemies all, as the Dragonborn issues his roar and the Scrolls have foretold of black wing of t he cold that when brothers wage war come unfurled! Alduin, bane of kings, ancient shadow unbound, with a hunger to swallow the world! but the day will arise when the dark dragon Lies, will be silenced forever and then! Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin maw Dragonborn be the savior of men Dragonborn Dragonborn by his honor is sworn, to keep evil forever at bay, And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph’s shout Dragonborn your blessing we pray!
To me, it's the opening where you escape a Alduin's attack and you're own execution and when you walk across Sovngarde with this awesome theme playing that makes the main quest feel like the epic Nordic saga it is.

Both songs sing of your character's destiny, not just throughout the land but throughout time itself.

"And the scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold, that when brothers wage war come unfurled"
This apparently points to the civil war in Skyrim. But also, "brother wage war". Ralof and Hadvar are both nords, and come from the same village, or at least have relatives in the same village. They are childhood friends, apparently, maybe not brothers, but they may have been something like that. And now they fight in a war against each other.
But also, Paarthurnax is a dragon just like Alduin, and dragons are at least something like family, like brothers. (They are all children of akatosh). But also, the DRAGONBORN, has the soul of a dragon and dragon blood and may be considered as something like an adopted child to akatosh (or something). Some may say (like me) that the dovahkiin is also part of the dragon family, and so THE BROTHER OF ALDUIN.
And they wage war AGAINST EACH OTHER.
GUYS
GUYYYYSS
Indeed, it refers to the civil war, it is all part of the prophecy
Ryou Skye ralof and hadvar were friends that used to play fight together as kids at riverwood
The Dragon Crisis and the Civil War are just major battles between brothers/brothers in arms....
By the Nine....
Ryou Skye All I can say is DEATH TO THE STORMCLOAKS

No game will ever be good as skyrim. I am still playing it to this day 😊.Truly the best game ever.
@@philartsio I mean I agree but give it a rest man, geez. You're being a cunt.

For those of you who are too lazy to go and translate this, it more or less means "I love this music so much!". Honestly, can't argue with that.

That moment when the I, the Khajiit Assassin, walks in on a hall full of Nord Warriors.
I'm pretty sure as soon as your a dovakin you become a half-Nord, cause most of the other dragonborns we're nords.
Talos-breton
Reman cyrodil-imperial
Saint Alessia the slave queen-nede
Mankar Camoran leader of the mythic dawn-not said but highly suggested-high elf
You are standing in line, among a legion of soldiers
In front of you are the Thalmor, outnumbering you ten to one
You are scared, hopeless
But then
You start to hear this song
It isn't sung in a language you know, but you know what they mean, you know it in your heart
Then, a figure walks in front of the lines from the back
Clad in dragonbone, with the mightiest great sword you have ever seen, enchanted beond the understanding of even the best battlemages
The singing gets louder
You are in a trance, as you begin singing, everyone does
The words do not only come from your mouth, but from your heart
The Dragonborn has come
That was the slowest walk I had in Sovngarde. I felt awesome listening to the chant. It was like they were welcoming me to Sovngarde.
They are
This would be nice in the main menu
+Aleksei Kosvlov No...
ғ̶̷̲̅ fuck off....
saynomore485 No, this shouldn't be in the main menu, it would be less epic hearing it everytime. This should only be played in Sovngarde.
But where would the main menu song go?
Mods, son
This is a fantastic job for a video made only 3 months after the initial release! OMG - IF YOU REMADE THIS WITH 2021 instead of 2012 tech, OMG. LET me say, based on this ancient video, your skill is off the charts - and this comes from an Electrical Engineer who has had a passion for tech and visual for decades. Please, remake this video and I will watch the remake frequently. Of course, I'm subscribing - your talent on this one video alone, at such a primitive time, tells me you have some really awesome videos.
I want my death to come in a sword fight, on a night with rain pouring so hard you could almost swim, thunder booming, lightning flashing through the sky, and this music making up all the ambient sound, the only other noise to be heard, is the clashing of steel between me, and my opponent. As the death blow is done, as I fall to the ground, my entire life leading to the epic conclusion of a single moment, I will die with a smile, knowing I lived, fought, and died as a real man ... A true warrior.
Aye, spoken like a true nord !
and then you wait out the annoyingly long load screen, and come back like 10 minutes earlier.

I stand with you, Battle Brother
may the gods bless you shield brother, will we meet in sovngarde!!
Made it to Sovengarde for the first time yesterday. Spent a good 20 minutes enjoying how beautiful the place is and listening to the music. Only took 5 of those minutes for me to stand from my chair and shout "HOLY SHIT THAT'S SONG OF THE DRAGONBORN". Absolutely one of if not the best places I've ever been in any video game. The tone, the scenery, the music. Gold.
For everyone who wants to return to sovngarde:
Type "^" , then " coc skuldafn01" and enter.
Your're welcome :)
Rexal ^coc skuldafn01
matmor30 Thats what i said :D
I dont get it '-'
When you're a filthy console peasant and can't do that *cries*
I know this is three years after your post, but I have to say: this is all very well and good, but how do you get BACK to Tamriel? Sovngarde is lovely, but I wouldn't want to stay there. :-D
My spine has never been more tingled
The dragons attacking Windhelm was the best part of the vid
This is by far, the highest quality video I have ever seen featuring a soundtrack from Skyrim, thank you, exactly how I would imagine it myself. Keep up the amazing work, definitely getting my sub. Cheers.
Masterpiece
The linguistic and semantic capacities of this song, the beauty is perfectly measured and rhyming in English and Draconic is simply beautiful.
I want someone to play this at my funeral :p
We need a version of this sung with English vocals. It's already been done with the "main" version, now we need it for this one.
*Testosterone Levels: Through the roof*
I can't describe the feelings I had when I entered sovngarde with two swords in my hands, walking through the mist unsure of what lies in front and this masterpiece playing on the background.
When your such a Skyrim fan you understand Dovahzuul
I have become more powerful then any Jedi has ever dreamed of!
i wonder the reaction of the nords when they see a full ranged wood elf wearing the strongest heavy armor in the game and an enhanced dwarven crossbow
Easily the most Nordic sounding song on Skyrim.
And my absolute favorite track in the whole game.
can u just all ignore the debut and focus on how beautifully this video is made , really excelant work , i enjoyed every single moment of it :)
The name of the dragon language is Dovahzul (roughly translates to: dragon's tongue) no offense but I've learned it and I correct everyone
Lockedsss s fus roh da your self
@@dovahkiin4087 Drem yol lok joor. Hi ni dovahkiin...
You do not know our tongue.. such arrogance to take on the name of dov.
@@edgyteen3392 so cool
Sovngarde, what an afterlife! Calls to my heritage!
i wish this place was real
Ali Alizadeh who said it wasn't
+Con. Hans Dueth you play too much video games
Ali Alizadeh it's supposed to be a joke
Ali Alizadeh according to Norse mythology, it is. At least, I believe it is Norse mythology in which Nord Mythology is loosely based off of.
it is. I went there.
as a new skyrim player in 2023 i was in awe of Souvengarde
I have a hard time playing as anything other than a bearded nord with a battleaxe when I play Skyrim.
I really love the background change and the movement in this, and i love how i can see the meaning to the words :)
This song should start playing when a dragon attacks Windhelm and firebolts are shooting everywhere
Acapella no less! Wonderful! It instills such a different mood that the theme song!
listen to this with 2x speed.
This is a really good song for preparing before battle
I only recently got into Skyrim, thanks to me coming across the Celtic Woman version of the Dragonborn song and instantly falling in love with it. While exploring around on the Elder Scrolls Wikia website, I came across the translation page for the Dragonborn song and found out that this song was “the extended version” and I have yet to get to Sovngarde, much less even get the horn of Jurgen Windcaller! (I keep getting sidetracked by every other mission LOL) But now I’m excited to get to Sovngarde to hear this epic music! (And to be reunited with Kodlak Whitemane LOL. But I won’t be happy to see that traitor Ulfric. His actions go against my beliefs and values. In role playing games, I always make my character as close to my actual person as much as I possibly can, ESPECIALLY when it comes to personality and beliefs)
This song started playing at work. The first 10 seconds in I just smiled and said "sovngarde".
I will not go silent into the gentle night, I will rage, rage against the dying of the light.......
dying light reference? :P
I think so I don't know my brother made the comment
He said that it was not a reference
Interstellar..?
You used very beautiful views in your video, and the timelapse looks great! Then, it was good idea - to put in this video all 3 versions of text. Looks magnificent. I like this vid! Thank you!!!
How do you get the dragons to attack wind helm?
The mod is called Deadly dragons and the feature is called assault, you can have up to 4 dragons attack you at random times.But you can also summon the dragons via console commands.
In this case, I just called them up using console commands.
Fadestrider Yea just console command. The dragons are already evil so they attack anything.
Roger Soto All dragons are evil except Parthunax.
The end of all things Subtle and let's not forget Odahviing!
He swore his life to the dovahkiin, promising to never go evil and help the dovahkiin when needed!
Outstanding job with the dovahzul lyrics matching the English translation.
Dragonborn, Dragonborn by his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph’s shout
Dragonborn your blessing we pray
Hearken now, son of snow, to an age long ago
And the tale, boldly told of THE ONE ☝️
Who kin is both wrym and the races of men
with the power to rival THE SUN
and the voice he did, Wield on that glorious field,
when great tamriel shuddered with war,
mighty thu’um like a blade, cuts through enemies all,
as the Dragonborn issues his roar
and the Scrolls have foretold of black wing of t he cold
that when brothers wage war come unfurled!
Alduin, bane of kings, ancient shadow unbound,
with a hunger to swallow the world!
but the day will arise when the dark dragon Lies,
will be silenced forever and then!
Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin maw
Dragonborn be the savior of men
Dragonborn Dragonborn by his honor is sworn,
to keep evil forever at bay,
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph’s shout
Dragonborn your blessing we pray!

who's still seeing this in 2016?
This sounds like a Norse rowing song, epic and heroic, the tempo keeping pace with the rowing to shore and landfall. Plunder!
2018 who's still listening?

@@plenkman NO I may hate the dark elves (as an argonian player) but that's to much
To me, it's the opening where you escape a Alduin's attack and you're own execution and when you walk across Sovngarde with this awesome theme playing that makes the main quest feel like the epic Nordic saga it is.
Nords are so much more epic then elves.
I went into that dungeon area on legendary only to be met by hordes of draugr scourges/deathlords and I'm just glad I had ethereal shout
"I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits."
Alduin, bane of kings ancient shadow unbound...
With a hunger to swallow the world...
But a day shall arise...
when the dark dragon's lies will be silenced forever and then...
fair Skyrim shall be free from foul Alduin's maw...
Dragonborn be the savior of men...
The goose-skin, man, the goose-skin... awesome!
