Agni Parthene in Old English (Greek hymn)

Here is my translation and performance of the beautiful Greek hymn Agni Parthene in Old English.My first video upload as the Skaldic Bard was this hymn in Old Norse, and I thought to complement it with its cousin language Old English; though it is a (relatively) modern hymn, one can imagine the Anglo-Saxon and Norse Varangians in Constantinople being immersed in melodies such as this one during the Middle Ages.I made this version a little more upbeat as a) an experiment for fun, and b) to try to capture the virile energy of the Germanic tradition. I've also used an authentic Old English cursive font this time without diacritics.I hope you enjoy. Lyrics below in standardised Old English and Runic. If you enjoyed the video and would like to see more, please like, subscribe and leave a comment - I try to respond to as many comments as possible and I very much enjoy reading them.Follow me on Spotify (The Skaldic Bard): open.spotify.c... you'd like to support my work, you can do so here: www.buymeacoff....
