*Other countries with their literary and poetic metaphors and stories:* "Oh damn I was so damn selfish and wrong about my ways. I will not only give back what I didn't righteously earned but will from this day on dedicate my life to charity!" *Scandinavian literature and folklore:* "Mate I'd rather go to hell than be bloody poor yolo"
The lyrics of this song are based on a medieval broadside ballad (called Skillingtryck in Sweden as they were sold for one skilling which was the smaller denomination in the old riksdaler currency), little is known about the origins of the song, apparently it was widely known in Skåne/Scania, former Danish territory, when historians archived traditional folk songs there in the 1800s, but it was not known outside that part of Sweden. Garmarna's rendition has shortened the lyrics somewhat. The full song is archived under SMB 36 Aa in the national archive of medieval ballads since 1880, but which isn't currently publicly available :/
According to Svend Grundtvig, the ballad of Herr Holger is a version of the ballad of Marsk Stig. I think it's possible that this version was renamed after Holger den rige Rosenkrantz (1586-1647). This guess is, however, only based on a few pieces of circumstantial evidence; he lived in Skåne, his epithet was 'the rich' like in the ballad, he collected tax (like all nobles) and he was summoned to Copenhagen over some dispute with the king.
+Max Edelstahl No, I really enjoyed listening to Lis Sörensen, Sanne Salomonsen, "Vi är röde, vi är hvide", Sko/Torp and Lars Ulrich in Metallica back in the 80's and the 90's. The conclusion is that Denmark is more of a father of good music than (at least) Norway. :-)
Theyre easly the best in the genre, yet too old to really be as well known as the others. Its a damn shame. I still remember back in th day when fejd, garmarna and gjallarhorn were the only clean nordic folk acts you could find. They helped me really embrace michigans turbulent winters, and my own swedo-finnic heritage. Everyone knows einar selvik and wardruna since vikings made them famous, but the OGs deserve a shoutout. Same to the OGs of the folk metal scene, tyr, faun, Korpiklaani, finntroll, late burzum even... Oh cant forget falconer. Damn good band.
*Sir Holger* Lady Tala she dreamed a dream one night Wake up for the time it is right That the rich Sir Holger would lose his heart That rich Sir Holger... "I dreamed I dreamed of our grey steed He carried you to the court where you died" "My dear Lady Tala say not so May your dreams awaken after the eighth year" They bashed at the door with poles and spears "If Sir Holger is in there he must come out" Sir Holger he spoke with his two squires "Saddle my steed with the saddle of gold" When they arrived at Copenhagen There stood King Kristian on the white shore "You, Sir Holger, are welcome to me Sir Holger, Sir Holger it will cost you your life" King Kristian chopped the head right off So that blood ran down over his feet When Lady Tala saw her master's corpse She went numb under the white sheet Sir Holger was laid to rest at twelve At the stroke of eleven he rose up again He knocked at the door with fingers so thin "Lady Tala slide back the bolts, let me in" "With no one have I arranged to meet And I will let no one in after the night's fall" "My dear Lady Tala give the farmer his cow 'Cause in Hell it is so difficult to live" "Lady Tala return Romman and Skromman 'Cause in Hell it's hard to burn for your friend" "Even if I'd go to Hell as a swan I would truly not live as a pauper" "Go to Hell with your squires Wake up for the time it is right And I will follow with my maidens" The rich Sir Holger

Garmarna !! Thank you so much for your music! I don't understand Swedish, but the music, singing style, melody... it's just so amazing, it fills my heart with joy and longing for soemthing more than just this life, some nostalgia, untold beauty... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR MUSIC!! (btw thanks for giving translations to your lyrics!! :) )
I had a friend who used to guest play with them. I never liked them to mutch. I liked Hedningarna better. My friend who used to play with garmarna tried to make me listen. Now I dont understand why I didnt loved them. They are best, period. Hedningarna is great, Garmarna is best. I had all the chances in the world to meet all this people and I didnt take it. My friend had his own studio and they recorded atleast his playing there. This music is like balsam for my soul....
thats too bad, but it takes time to appreciate something amasing as this! be glad that you've eventually found the meaning of their music. and maybe you'll get another chance to thank them personally again :)
Story in the song: a corrupt tax collector goes to Hell. He comes back to tell his wife that, if she gives back all he stole, she'll not only free him from Hell, but save herself from the same fate. She says, nah, I'd rather go to Hell than be poor.
The perfect song for chopping lords' heads off in these disastrous times. Det perfekt låt för att klippa herrernas huvuder av under dessa katastrofala tider! Förlåt min dålig svensk! Jag är amerikansk, og jag ber om ursäkt för mitt lands imperium.
БОЖЕСТВЕННАЯ ФРОЙЛЕН (её голосом, стилем и музыкой) (теперь уж фрау) Около 4-5- лет слушаю ЕЁ (чем хотите клянусь, она не Мерлин Монро, но я бы женился на ней. Восхищаюсь ЕЮ) ГАРМАРНА, ЛЮБЛЮ ТЕБЯ КАК ЖЕНЩИНУ И НЕПОВТОРИМО ТАЛАНТЛИВУЮ ПЕВИЦУ.

My name is actually Holger and I just thought what would happen when I go to Hell. Most likely Satan would throw me out because I am really clumsy. After trashing half of Hell, accidentally, I would have to go. :D

Tack Garmarna för att ni gör mina favoritlåtar. Det är mycket behövligt!

2021 still good
Den beste sangen, jeg likte den så godt at jeg ble smittet av denne sangen.
What a great language, voice and music! Love it!
One of my favorite songs by Garmarna...
My teachers sister made this lol
*Sir Holger*
Lady Tala she dreamed a dream one night
Wake up for the time it is right
That the rich Sir Holger would lose his heart
That rich Sir Holger...
"I dreamed I dreamed of our grey steed
He carried you to the court where you died"
"My dear Lady Tala say not so
May your dreams awaken after the eighth year"
They bashed at the door with poles and spears
"If Sir Holger is in there he must come out"
Sir Holger he spoke with his two squires
"Saddle my steed with the saddle of gold"
When they arrived at Copenhagen
There stood King Kristian on the white shore
"You, Sir Holger, are welcome to me
Sir Holger, Sir Holger it will cost you your life"
King Kristian chopped the head right off
So that blood ran down over his feet
When Lady Tala saw her master's corpse
She went numb under the white sheet
Sir Holger was laid to rest at twelve
At the stroke of eleven he rose up again
He knocked at the door with fingers so thin
"Lady Tala slide back the bolts, let me in"
"With no one have I arranged to meet
And I will let no one in after the night's fall"
"My dear Lady Tala give the farmer his cow
'Cause in Hell it is so difficult to live"
"Lady Tala return Romman and Skromman
'Cause in Hell it's hard to burn for your friend"
"Even if I'd go to Hell as a swan
I would truly not live as a pauper"
"Go to Hell with your squires
Wake up for the time it is right
And I will follow with my maidens"
The rich Sir Holger
Thankyou 4 the Lyrics
Thanks 💜

mi canción favorita. una de las mejores bandas en la historia de la música.
Fantastic song, i get chills from it:)
Whoever this Mister Holger was, they don't seem to like him very much...
Most people don't like corrupt tax collectors. Hell people don't even like the honest ones
Vielen Dank für die Übersetzung
This is one amazing song.
älskar det
Such a powerful force...

Ich heiße zufällig Holger und ich finde dieses Lied genial. Möge ich nie das gleiche Ende wie dieser korrupte Namensvetter von mir finden... xD
Nicht alle Holger sind gleich
Herr Dorfmeister hat doch nur Schiss. ^^ ;-P
Merci radio kerne pour la découverte !
Yeah ! Whoever take into accountiong shoul'd make you own bill ready.

Очень жизненно)

The perfect song for chopping lords' heads off in these disastrous times.
Det perfekt låt för att klippa herrernas huvuder av under dessa katastrofala tider!
Förlåt min dålig svensk! Jag är amerikansk, og jag ber om ursäkt för mitt lands imperium.
Din svenska är ok för att inte vara svensk (your swedish is ok for a non-swedish person.
Uma ótima banda
muchas gracias!!
I am very happy that I found translated lyrics. But still I have no idea what "Romman and Skromman" is. Anybody knows about it?
Oh? Indeed & Rightigh
Nagyon jo

É sobre descida de um corrupto. Forte isso. Cada um cuide de si.
It's amazing how we humans can voice our thoughts with a spoken word , in any language !! prise GOD !!!!
GODS*
Or rather the one God with many faces...
Ibland tror jag fortfarande att jag kan känna vikingablod i mina ådror
Den här har absolut inget med vikingar och göra.
2017 and counitng :D
Aha ok tack!
Fy søren så herlig musikk!! :D Jeg bare elsker den spesielle måten/dialekten den synges på. Eller er det gammel svensk?
Gammalt svensk så vit jag vet.
Ja exakt. De sjunger på gammalsvenska.
Btw where are you from?
I think it is Old Swedish,maybe this version of Swedish is much more closer to Norwegian than Danish is,am I right?
It is sweden?
Yes, it is Old Swedish.
Anastasia Derceva da
What's the story behind this song? Why does the king want to kill Sir Holger and what's the deal with the cows? Tried to find an explanation online...
Malin Johansson can u do the lyrics in english please
Sir Holger is a corrupt tax collector and the cows were stolen by him. The king is not a fan of the whole thing
песня просто идеальная ничего нелзя сказать, жалко что русско язычная версия вышла без видео)
А есть таковая? Можно скинуть если не сложно?
что за версия? покажиии
sounds like the start of a led zepplin song ,which i wont mention
Foda demais!
My name is actually Holger and I just thought what would happen when I go to Hell. Most likely Satan would throw me out because I am really clumsy. After trashing half of Hell, accidentally, I would have to go. :D
