First of all, this is one of my personal favourite songs-
Amongst Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Middle-English, and Old-Norse, Old-Irish is another medieval/old language I study. This song is original music put to an Old Irish versepoem concerning the season of "Spring" (glossed here as 'Errach'). I have not sung my translation, but the original Old-Irish poem itself are the lyrics (yet I've know included my translation below the Irish here in the description for those interested). There are three other OI poems in similar metre on Winter, Autumn, and Summer I would like to turn into songs also someday. For those of you interested in the Old-Irish language, I will of course have the poem presented below in the description. Please leave your feedback, and be sure to visit the RUclips channel for more Hymir's Kettle music and subscribe if you enjoy ;) (All the pictures in this video remain property of their respectful owners and are only utilised here for enjoyment).
Poem:
Glass uar errach aigide,
uacht ina gaith gignither,
glaidsit lachain linnuisci,
luind cendach corr cruadeigme
Cluinit cuana a ndithrebaib
fri h'eirge moch matanraid
duscit eonu a hinnsenaib
mor bfiad riasu bfirteititt -
a fid, a feor glass..
(Orig.Trans. - kept in orig.poetic form):
Spring with a chill bite is borne,
the breeze cast in whispers cool;
the cry of ducks' held on high,
and the hard tune of the crane's call.
The cadence of hounds is heard
as haled are morning's marches,
moving to life all the land;
it's light a glittering guide
where glens and grass spring....
Nice, the celts was a people of poetry as aztecs and mayans. Greetings and good song
You're welcome-and thank you ;) there are a lot more "hardcore" folk tunes out there, some ppl might call this song more of a 'folk-rock' for its heavy beat/rhythm.
I grew up listening to metal,and in my mid-teens folk-metal groups served as a bridge for me to get into real folk music (believe it or not).Svartesot,Equilibrium,Cruachan,Crimfall,Arkona,Folkearth,Moonsorrow-and the thematic bands like Amon Amarth and Nile of course.Whilst Iron Maiden and Zepplin led me to those,those led me to folk
This is the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. thank you for sharing it
My pleasure -- Roger Waters once said that the aim of true music is to move someone in empathy and emotion; if it cannot do that, then it has done nothing. I'm glad my music has reached you.. :)
Ciallú álainn. Coinnigh ort ag cumadh ceol chomh fhileata!
I listen to alot of heavily folk influenced metal music, but never really listened to actual traditional music in this sense, and It's truly amazing man :3 this song feels like a gift, thank you :)
Ah yes. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm back.
Brilliant man! Greetings from tx. 💪🏼🤠♥️
Bro, I posted on this video because it's your personal favourite and you're most likely to check it. I'm really really really really really really really impressed with your music. Thank you for bringing it into the world
Saudações do Brasil :)
How pleasant this music is, I thank you...
You're very welcome.. :)
:)
Running through my veins... Spectacular!
I think you'd be surprised how well folk can go with electronic music
Very nicely done. Both the music and the collection of photos. Thanks
PLEASE! I would love to her the rest. It would be an honor!
This, as with other songs of yours, bring out the best of that sublimely spectral subgenre of acid folk; and recall the favored lineage of Pentangle's first, Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" and Heart's "Sylvan Song" / "Dream of the Archer". Although, in all sincerity I have to say, with each successive play, these inimitable pieces from Hymir's Kettle are seen to bear your distinctive mark, with the high compliment of progenitors past as mere incidentals.
This is f*cking amazing! I shall stay up all night and listen on repeat!
this is so.. elegant :) Great work
HIMEL EIEN = HEAVEN STROKE
Awesome!
Gotta ask WTF this is like a mix of Celtic and American Indian fecking AWESOME
Donnie Don I don’t think it’s mixed with Amerindian influence, I’m pretty sure that they are just similar anyhow
Excellent :-)
You may ask ;)
Sometimes it depends; but it can be safely said the main instruments of Hymir's Kettle tend to be mandolin, Irish bouzouki, taiko drum, flute, and acoustic guitar.
That's what makes the main sound. But sometimes I will bring in an oboe (like Battle of the Five Armies) or a didgeridoo for the background, mouth harp, etc.
They should definitely make a movie like braveheart, but it's the irish rebellion in 1600 (osullivan a march). Or another story during William Wallace's time.
Sure, I'd probably watch it ;)
Haha well.. :) they should
DERP Merp Would be great, but perhaps to controversial, and may spark violence in the north of Éire
Ciaran O' Neill Certainly.. :(
well..... what if we changd the plot a little... ofcourse William Wallace wasnt about love.. but the movie braveheart said "lets make it a love story" . maybe we can describe the movie as a love story. so that violence wont stick with the audience after they saw theentire movie...
My first comment got cut off -- what I was going to say, was, I'm glad you like the video! And glad to hear another with a wide range of tastes -- I wonder really how many Nile fans come around these parts, eh? ;)
Takke -- yes it is a picture of a Danish archeological find of a Thor's Hammer pendant , one that was likely a common mold, and one that I wear myself. But, the layout you see here is the Hymir's Kettle logo - it is featured in all of my videos
YES!
Takke, friend - your insights and comments are much appreciated :)
Heilsa!
They came from a planet called Erra, which is located around the
Pleiades Star called Taygeta. Here is where they started their new
civilization in the year 228,000 B.C.
lol thanks! Glad you like it, its one of my favourites too -- make sure to check out the channel for more tunes

You're welcome. :) And thank you.
Heilsa
Agus Níle iad uamhnach! :-)
Not useless - very cool,thanks for sharing ;)
I will say that personally, no I do not mind such a question. But first off I should say, that this RUclips channel (OdinIsMyGuide) which is laid out for Hymir's Kettle, is not meant to be a religious message/project or anything like that.
I cannot say I'm a follower of any 1 person or thing.My heritage hails both celtic and norse-and I have found myself drawn to both. Thats as much as I can fit in a comment; I've studied theology for many years
I haven't found a website for the group, to be sure about who's playing, but, after listening to several performances on the playlist, I'd say their music is heavily masculine and could benefit with balance, by some feminine influence.
To be fair - its only been up for a few weeks ;)
I'm interested in ancient ways of building in our home land any one got some pointers
Do you mean, the other 3 poems mentioned in the description? :)
Míle buíochas as an físeán, a Críostaí.
Is maith a ceol sa ocus is aluind in dúan. Ar-dot raibh bennacht!
Ar fheabhas ar fad..........So lig mé saor ón suan atá orm..Ní saol gan ceol ná grá!
Go raibh maith agat
Glad you enjoy :) heilsa
So this is Old Irish. Are there any good examples of songs in Middle Irish?
I'd like to know that also
AnthroRambles as would I
Please can we marry and spend our days dancing in the meadows, and reading ancient languages and singing old folk songs. All i currently do anyway, we may as well together >.<
Claire Willis That's how I have planned my retirement, Claire. Good Luck!
I wish you all the luck Mr.John Kane.
Sadly for me... "dis aliter visum" but oh well... another life time and all that.
I hope you have a very happy retirement, and that all your dreams are fulfilled. May your soul fill up with joy until it pops over to the other side! See you there!
PLEASE*PLEYAR
To all stumbling across this : Please stop using Irish culture to project your racist political opinions. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading this, however. Unfortunately though, you've attracted some unsavoury characters : (
who are the five semites who disliked this
Traditionalist Western Art, I don’t want to sound like the crybaby snowflakes I despise so, but I’m part Celtic, and part Semite, and whose to say semites would dislike this? Unless of course this statement is a joke I’m just not taking very well...
Celt of Canaan Esurix I agree with you and no, I don't think he is joking. Look at his profile pic and name. He seems very western/Nordic/northern European centric so his idea of a joke is that semitic people further afield must somehow dislike it, which is b*llshit lol.
MisterMoa yeah, well I love both races, although honestly I know more about the celts and Europeans in general. I think Jews and Europeans should band together against their common threats rather than constantly screwing each other over
Celt of Canaan Esurix Most people are friends with eachother without needing to bring race into everything though. Uniting as a big racial band I think will make a mountain of a mole hill. Anyway, enough of that stuff, let us all enjoy this great music!
I'm sorry but the poem honestly looks like somebody smashed their face on their keyboard.
I imagine you must dislike the orthography of modern Irish even more....
