Nordic folksong on nyckelharpa

  • This is 3 verses from 'N​ä​r som jag var på mitt adertonde år', a traditional Swedish folksong. I recorded it in my home 'studio' if you can call it that, its more like an empty room with instruments and 1 microphone. It rained all day today so I just stayed in and played nyckelharpa.
    On my debut EP, I sang some verses from this song on the track 'Latvian Fegurð'
    I know this song through the group Folk och rackare

    Thank you all! The instrument is a nyckelharpa. The song is about a maiden who falls in love with a man who already loves someone else and decides to end her life to meet him in the afterlife instead. Rough English translation:
    When I was in my eighteenth year
    There was a beautiful boy who fell onto my mind
    Thee,I thought,to own forever
    But this my thought instantly vanished
    There was another maiden in his embrace
    He likens her to a blooming flower
    All though I hold my father and mother so dear
    And siblings and friends who loved me here
    This love does go above anything else

      @@myrkur aaw nice thx ❤️ even if it is contradictory, because ending one's life and believing one will go to the afterlife makes no sense, if then we talk (fantasizing) about Valhalla then I think it is possible.
