I really appreciate that you go the extra mile in making bardcore, rather than just adding random thees and thous. I can't think of anyone else who goes to such lengths.
You can't get much more medieval than the name Ramsey, especially with a Homo Sapien creature of the Purple race as your avatar. (Avatars are Blue Homo Sapiens, and the only ones that have a tail).
@Liam Davison ROFL, at this point most Irish have a little Scandinavian in them.... and most Brits, and a lot of French, and more than a few Russians... Those Vikings were a fruitful lot.
It wouldn't be that interesting because this translation is absolute rubbish. Pretty much every scentence is full of grammatical errors or wrong words. The pronunciation is terrible as well so the Vikings wouldn't understand this at all.
I’m pretty sure philologists have no idea how ancient Egyptian Coptic sounded so therefore it’d be extremely difficult to get an accurate phonetic breakdown :(
Honestly imagine how much this would absolutely slap if you were a viking at the fire side and some dude and his pals whack this one out for the raid party
@@meganparsons9106 oh. It was still good, the scene when Thor jumped with lightning trailing the high arc into the enemy slow motion was awesome. It would've worked either version. I know the movie didnt have a large following as the MCU but didnt they use a different version on the start of Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. Another great movie.
@Jim lastname Im also a Swede, I would say as a first look 10% might be understandable, but if you dig into it and think for a bit maybe 30-40% is understandable if you have knowledge of older words and also communicated a lot with other skandinavians.
@Jim lastname Yeah mostly chatting on a daily basis with a group of Danes and Norwegians for years. Ive only been to Iceland a couple of times, but there's a lot to recognize in their language as well. It was more isolated so they didnt have as much European influence. Their language is closer to old norse than ours is. I dont know how much sense Scandinavian languages makes for you as an English speaker since were both speaking germanic, but I feel icelandic is much more close to the rest of the Scandinavian languages than for example English or German.
Imagine playing this for a real Viking, they'd be like yo this shit ballin and all just sail towards the beaches near Lindisfarne headbanging and singing led Zeppelin
As someone who has studied and learned old Norse (Old Icelandic and old Swedish dialects) this is candy for me. However some things in here are iffy, but in no way am I complaining majorly. I admire this kind of work.
As a native Icelandic speaker, I agree. Old Norse is just a stone’s throw from Icelandic. For one thing, we don’t have that “o” letter with the slash through it. We have the ö. And there are some words that just don’t seem Icelandic but another Scandinavian language (like noyer). The accent also just sounds more Swedish, not Icelandic (that I understand is not under the singer’s control. It’s just interesting)
@@bndergltd3053 Icelandic phonology has changed a lot since Old Norse. Modern Norwegian and Swedish are probably closer to Old Norse than modern Icelandic when it comes to pronunciation. Vocabulary and grammar is very different of course. Mainland Scandinavian languages have seen huge changes here whereas Icelandic has kept most of the grammar and vocabulary. Modern Icelandic spelling is pretty close to Old Norse, but there are some differences. The use of "ö" in stead of "ø" is one of them. This might give the impression that Old Norse and modern Icelandic are closer than they really are. They are really similar in written form, but when spoken, they are most likely not mutually intelligible.
I love every one of your covers. Not merely because of their craft and quality, though they possess both in great quantity. But they also ask a question: how different were we, as a society, 3500 years ago? How would an ancient audience have reacted to modern music? These covers posit that we haven't changed much at all. They imply a connection to our past that is surreal, yet comforting. But perhaps I read too much into it, and it's merely an interesting contrast. Regardless, keep up the great work!
Lol I was thinking yesterday how the tribal San people (Africa) would react if you played them some Boris Brejcha sets. They are the ones who still use clicks when talking
As hard as switching between chest voice and false folds (throating singing) at the end of every phrase must have been, how hard were all those trilled 'r's in "sins bardgisherrar ver erum"? I have the same problem with the word 'supermercado' in Spanish and that's tapped 'r'rs and there's only two! Mad props for the entire performance mate! You smashed it.

Translating anything into Classical Nahuatl would be outrageously difficult. I'm not fluent (I learned modern Nahuatl from my grandmother but she was much better at Athabaskan) but I can tell you that Nahuatl is tonal (word meanings change depending on the tone of voice you use when speaking it) and words/stresses can change depending on the gender of the speaker.
@@monsterinyourcloset7573 That's cool, i knew it was a tonal language but didn't know that meanings could change so much depending on the speaker. And that's great that you know modern Nahuatl. All I ever learned besides some Spanish, was some German and a little bit of Korean. 😃😛 Keep up the good work. 😎👍
@@monsterinyourcloset7573 Nahuatl isn't a tonal language at all. It does distinguish between short and long vowels (though some dialects don't) though. Tonal language uses different pitches in its phonology -- which again; Nahuatl doesn't. Though quite a few other indigenous languages in Mexico are tonal.

Fun fact literally every single person with European ancestry is descended from every single Viking who had descendants- that's just how the genetics works
The value of these old language songs is immense. I love hearing them spoken and being able to see the evolution of human speech, the influence of one language upon another and seeing them evolve over time into something unique. It shows that our differences and sames are something timeless and the moment of now in our language is a culmination of our pasts that will ultimately become a past link to the future of language. Thank you for taking the time to make these high quality old language translations.

What I find most intriguing is even though I’m sure there are many differences I can’t pick up on, all of the early middle age to mid middle age music you’ve put together as a distinct similarity linguistically. Maybe I should just put two and two together considering the Scandinavians conquered all of them in that time.
For pronunciation there's no single right or wrong as long as you're consistent, take your pick; go with modern Icelandic or one of the reconstructed Old Norse variants.

Wonder what Carameldansen sounds like in Old Norse...
Yes! I was listening to it just the other day and hoping someone would do a bardcore cover of Carameldansen.
Oh now I want that... Or that super old dialect of Japanese that Hirohito spoke
@@thishonestgrifter Hirohito was WW2, that’s not that old and Idk but I doubt it would be that different
@@paperbagman9445 The speech was probably the first time that an Emperor of Japan had spoken (albeit via a phonograph record) to the common people. It was delivered in the formal Classical Japanese that few ordinary people could easily understand - Wikipedia
Honestly using older uralic languages like eastern sami would be better suited for the song but it would still be interesting to hear in old norse
What if this got copyright claimed and it wasn’t Zepellin, it was a real viking.
Then he'd be very old, and worth paying attention to for reasons that have nothing to do with copyright laws.
The guy doesn't send copyright strike, he challenged you to a duel instead

Suggestion: "It's tough to be a god" from The Road to El Dorado in 16th Century Classical Spanish.
Oh my gosh YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!
Or one of the South American native languages...
@@MushVPeets That would be cool too. The reason i suggested Spanish was because Tulio and Miguel are Spanish.
Yes!!!!! But it would have to be in Nahuatl

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) in Competing Byzantine Greek/Old Anatolian Turkish!
This one sounds like it'd be tricky but fantastic with the right execution.

It would be Constantinople (Not Istanbul) then

This song slapped so much back in 873 AD that Led Zeppelin covered it in the 70s.
Ulfric Stormcloak:This is my jam now.

Well it's clear now - someone needs to edit it iver the footage.

Why Japanese?
@@kimifw58 the imagery of the song lyrics actually track really well with the old Japanese fable of the rat and the maiden, an old moral tale founded in the virtues of bushido
What I thought of first was Sea Shepherd's campaign in the Antarctics against the ships of the Institute of Cetacean Research...

Listened to this while drunk and high. I woke up naked in the middle of the street with an axe in each hand
Did someone greet you by saying "You're finally awake"?
Were your bones very thor?
😂
Was it a Dane axe?
I don't know how but sounds exactly how I thought it would even down to little parts of throat singing LOL
now I have to hear The eye of the tiger in ancient Sumerian. y'all dudes are awesome
To be honest, there were a lot of mispronunciation and an old norse speaker would definitely not have spoken like this, but, I mean, it was cool
Do you know what you need to do? You need to do “Battle of Evermore” in Elvish, this is what you need to do.
Oh, Gods, let it be thus!
Given Elvish was based on Gaelic. Gaelic would be cooler :)
@@Stettafire Depending on whose elvish you use, it’s either close to Gaelic or Finnish.
That would totally rock! (I already translated "When there's a whip, theres' a way" back into Orcish. "Amal shurfar, at rrug.")
That was OMINOUS! Great work
"We Will Rock You" in conjectured Proto-Indo-European.
Geddit? "Rock You", because stone age?
You could crib notes from Ubisoft on this; they hired actual linguists and historians to get Adam Jensen to speak accurate caveman in Far Cry: Primal.
Holy shit, ahhaa thank you, might actually try to do that XD
Proto Indo European isn't even close to caveman lmao the big empires of early history were already up and going as the language was forming
@@bacicinvatteneaca yeah but Farcry Primal was pretty much prime Stone Age, so Caveman. But yeah PIE is Stone Age into Bronze Age.
hol up, THAT was *the* Adam Jensen, the "I didn't ask for this" Adam Jensen?
@@gryphon0468 And they hold their fucking bows wrong. smh.
The most badass thing I've heard in years!
I know right
i dont know if you plan on doing songs in languages you've already done but Pompeii in classical latin would be cash
Next we need the old Norse version of “Bjorn to be wild”.. lol. Great work 🍻
since the holidays are fast approaching, what about "Feliz Navidad"
but in Nahuatl
Classical Nahuatl. 😃😁
Translating anything into Classical Nahuatl would be outrageously difficult. I'm not fluent (I learned modern Nahuatl from my grandmother but she was much better at Athabaskan) but I can tell you that Nahuatl is tonal (word meanings change depending on the tone of voice you use when speaking it) and words/stresses can change depending on the gender of the speaker.
@@monsterinyourcloset7573 That's cool, i knew it was a tonal language but didn't know that meanings could change so much depending on the speaker. And that's great that you know modern Nahuatl. All I ever learned besides some Spanish, was some German and a little bit of Korean. 😃😛
Keep up the good work. 😎👍
@@monsterinyourcloset7573 Nahuatl isn't a tonal language at all. It does distinguish between short and long vowels (though some dialects don't) though. Tonal language uses different pitches in its phonology -- which again; Nahuatl doesn't. Though quite a few other indigenous languages in Mexico are tonal.
Isn’t feliz navidad literally “feliz navidad” all the time? Or is it a different song?
When the Danelaw is re-established in England this will be the National anthem

Every time I listen to any bardcore song I can imagine different scenes with the song playing in the background. (makes up half of my D&D ideas)
Born to late to be a viking, to early to be a space pirate

May I recommend "Space Viking" by H. Beam Piper? Kick-@$$ old skool SciFi.
@@johndoherty487 Awesome read.
I think Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics in old French or Italian would be pretty cool. Keep up the great work!
This is going to be the song I listen to when I play Assassin's Creed Valhalla!
Run to the Hills (iron maiden) in Cree
The first time I heard Immigrant Song I was ten years old listening to an AM radio, I was eleven years old and the song terrified me.
Well done, Mighty Zeppelin, well done.
The lords of Zeppelin are so great, they're music sound Epic even in Old Norse
After this cover I grew a large blond beard and felt a very strong urge to ransack a village or two.
Some friends and I were gonna hit Lindisfarne, you in?
@@ctbarrel8974 YøS
Luckily, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla drops November 10.
Me, when I find out I’m 1/690th Scandinavian:
Fun fact literally every single person with European ancestry is descended from every single Viking who had descendants- that's just how the genetics works
Fun fact. Literally every person on the planet originated in Africa 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. Sort of makes the argument about immigration moot.
The value of these old language songs is immense. I love hearing them spoken and being able to see the evolution of human speech, the influence of one language upon another and seeing them evolve over time into something unique. It shows that our differences and sames are something timeless and the moment of now in our language is a culmination of our pasts that will ultimately become a past link to the future of language. Thank you for taking the time to make these high quality old language translations.
A friend of mine would absolutely hate it if you did Dark Horse in Ancient Egyptian, which means I would absolutely love it.
I went to find your spotify page and it actually had your Smells Like Teen Spirit cover at exactly 1337 listens. If that ain't a sign, I'm not sure what is.

Verily, this doth slappeth! Also, this is the most wholesome comment thread on RUclips and I am here for all of this.

When you realise that you're 5% Danish and that England has Churches ripe for the plundering.

@Camisha Reigada are you my relative ? ...... cause if so ? I'd like to know about myself , cause I didn't have the $ for that.
What I find most intriguing is even though I’m sure there are many differences I can’t pick up on, all of the early middle age to mid middle age music you’ve put together as a distinct similarity linguistically. Maybe I should just put two and two together considering the Scandinavians conquered all of them in that time.
One of the more unusual songs I've come across on RUclips. A labor of love!
Suggestion: Welcome to Japan by The Strokes in Japanese
Turning Japanese by the Vapors in Japanese
Right, I think I'll just pop over and invade Northumbria - who's in?
Now, this makes the song sound like an actual chant, and its epic!
Awesome! 'Mega Daginn' ...sounds like the name for my new Metal band! 🤘😎🤘
For pronunciation there's no single right or wrong as long as you're consistent, take your pick; go with modern Icelandic or one of the reconstructed Old Norse variants.
Playing AC Valhalla with this in the background is a treat.

If you speak English you could atleast understand something
OK... Lyrically, some parts don't scan and flow so well, that is a problem of translations, but top effort. The instrumentation is definitely both menacing and haunting.
