  • This deceptively happy-sounding song is about the time when the Devil himself visited the town of Hårga, and played his fiddle until all the youth danced themselves to death. I thought it'd be appropriate for the season!

    Lyrics translation:
    The fiddler pulled his fiddle out of its case and
    Raised his bow to the rising Sunday sun
    Then the people of Harga got excited
    They forgot God and the whole world.
    The dance took place in the meadows and slopes
    High up on the peak of the Harga Mountain
    They wore out both shoes and heels
    Never getting the dance to stop.
    Where do you come from fiddler?
    Tell us who has taught you this wild and crazy melody?
    If you don't stop now our hearts will burst
    Oh God forbid, he has a hoof.
    The bells rang in the valley and there went
    Father and mother and brother to the parish church
    Where can the youth of Harga be now?
    Oh my God, they're still dancing!
    They were dancing to the Harga song
    High up on the Harga mountain peak
    Tears aren't far off
    While dancing, they wore through both body and soul.
    Stop your bow fiddler, before we
    Dance life and soul and all the bones out of our bodies
    No, he won't stop the dance before
    Everyone falls down dead.

    Heres a funny story. I friend told me that he had learned this song called Hårgalåten, its a folk song(Hes not from Sweden) and I was.. I have been playing folk music my whole life and I have never heard about the songname and then he played it for me and I could hum the whole song right away. I have been playing this song for such a long time without even knowing the name of the song. I thought it was one of those "folksongs without a name" kinda song. I love you voice and cover of this song. Thank you

    Por si alguien quiere la traducción en español (spanish):
    El violinista sacó su violín de su estuche y
    Levantó su arco hacia el sol naciente del domingo
    Entonces la gente de Harga se emocionó
    Se olvidaron de Dios y del mundo entero.
    El baile tuvo lugar en los prados y laderas.
    En lo alto de la cima de la montaña Harga
    Usaron zapatos y tacones
    Que el baile nunca se detenga.
    ¿De dónde vienes violinista?
    Cuéntanos quién te ha enseñado esta melodía salvaje y loca.
    Si no te detienes ahora, nuestros corazones estallarán
    Oh Dios no lo quiera, él tiene una pesuña.
    Las campanas sonaron en el valle y allí fueron
    Padre y madre y hermano a la iglesia parroquial
    ¿Dónde puede estar la juventud de Harga ahora?
    ¡Dios mío, todavía están bailando!
    Estaban bailando la canción de Harga
    En lo alto de la montaña Harga
    Las lágrimas se acercan
    Mientras bailaban, usaban cuerpo y alma.
    Deténte violinista tramposo, antes de que nosotros
    Bailemos nuestra vida y alma y todos los huesos de nuestros cuerpos
    No, él no detendrá el baile antes de que
    Todos caigan muertos.

    Hårgalåten är inte långt från var jag bor. Hambo är svårt att dansa, innan man kommer på det. Då kan man dansa långt in på natta och in på morgonen.

    Congratulations on the sponsorship. This reminds me of one of my favorite creepy pasta stories about a traveling fiddler man that holds a dance where everyone dances themselves to death. No sign of the Devil involved in it, but the protagonist was the only one who was aware of what was happening, making it all the more terrifying. Midsommar sounds like an amazing movie.
