LYRICS:
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa upp í stafni,
stýra dýrum knerri,
halda svá til hafnar
hǫggva mann ok annan,
hǫggva mann ok annan.
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars

Pure CLASS! :)
Viking huh? Think my ancestors are mainly French and German. Love the song! And that dress is just lovely!
These are the original lyrics:
Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa upp í stafni,
stýra dýrum knerri,
halda svá til hafnar,
höggva mann ok annan.
Quite a departure from you usual selections. Beautifully done Such a soothing melody. By the way, you look great!
Very good Performance great Sound and Video
Ana never fails just beautiful
Could you sing "my love" from West side history by Ennio Morricone??
Very well done. Different format than I am used to for "North" people music, but I liked it a lot.
Sound's great.
Very nice and beautiful song
Beautiful performance!
And I love your dress a lot!
Unusual and I like it.
Wonderful Song.
Innblásnir hæfileikar! Mögnuð frammistaða! Þvílík falleg minning!
Beautiful Ana
Pretty song. Pretty dress. And a pretty person to fill it. Don't blame you for reading the Norsemans words. Did not know that you could read runes.
Pretty Nice !
That's awesome Anya. I'm reading about the history of Vikings. Poems and song were a big thing with them.
That was beautiful !! ♫ ♥
Anastasia, Great job singing. As you have gotten older (you are still young), your voice has matured and is very beautiful. God Bless you, Anastasia and God Bless your family.
Good job I enjoyed this performance!.
So good really
