In my family on my moms fathers side, we are literally half English and half Danish while on her mothers side we are half Irish and half Norwegian and every time I listen to Einar or Wardruna, it's like a portal to my ancestors and ancestral homelands.

    "A lot of people tend to confuse Ragnarok with with the Christian term Armageddon, which means The End of the World.
    But that is not the case here because, in the old Norse way of thinking, everything moved in cycles. So, it's basically telling the story of a reign that ends but also a reign that begins.
    So, something needs to die, something else to live. So in these days when the sun is turning, that is what is about, to let die what needs to die.
    Let die stuff that you don't need to carry around anymore, to make room for new stuff."

      Actually more accurately the true meaning of Armageddon is the same. Because the end is always the beginning of something else. Check out mythologist Michael Meades writings.
      Earth based cycles are where we live...life and death and all the cycles and polarity are our human experience.

    Einar Selvik has slowly become the voice of my ancestors legacy. And I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have embraced it as I did. As I'm moving to the end of my 20's I find myself looking to the scenery more. I walk the mountains of northern Norway listening to his songs, thinking of my life, my decitions and what I've learned from them.

    Lyrics for this version (norse and english): I did some research, this should be pretty accurate.
    1. Hljóðs bið ek allar helgar kindir,
    meiri ok minni mögu Heimdallar;
    viltu, at ek, Valföðr! vel framtelja forn spjöll fíra,
    þau er fremst um man.
    (1. Hearing I ask | from the holy races,
    From Heimdall's sons, | both high and low;
    Thou wilt, Valfather, | that well I relate
    Old tales I remember | of men long ago.)
    57. Sól tér sortna, sígr fold í mar,
    hverfa af himni heiðar stjörnur;
    geisar eimi ok aldrnari,
    leikr hár hiti við himin sjalfan.
    (57. The sun turns black, | earth sinks in the sea,
    The hot stars down | from heaven are whirled;
    Fierce grows the steam | and the life-feeding flame,
    Till fire leaps high | about heaven itself.)
    45. Bræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask,
    munu systrungar sifjum spilla;
    (45. Brothers shall fight | and fell each other,
    And sisters' sons | shall kinship stain;)
    47. Skelfr Yggdrasils askr standandi,
    ymr it aldna tré, en jötunn losnar;
    (47. Yggdrasil shakes, | and shiver on high
    The ancient limbs, | and the giant is loose;)
    58. Geyr nú Garmr mjök fyr Gnipahelli,
    festr mun slitna en freki renna;
    (58. Now Garm howls loud | before Gnipahellir,
    The fetters will burst, | and the wolf run free;)
    59. falla forsar, flýgr örn yfir,
    sá er á fjalli fiska veiðir.
    (The cataracts fall, | and the eagle flies,
    And fish he catches | beneath the cliffs. )
    64. Sal sér hon standa sólu fegra,
    gulli þakðan á Gimléi;
    þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
    ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.
    (64. More fair than the sun, | a hall I see,
    Roofed with gold, | on Gimle it stands;
    There shall the righteous | rulers dwell,
    And happiness ever | there shall they have. )

Its so strong and emotional and it makes me feel so alive and conscious about who I am. It makes me think of vikings, the soul of scandinavians in general, my ancestors, and even the whole world, seen through my eyes, blue eyes if you will :) Its like listening to this song I know everything will be fine.

      I know only the very basics about Edda or Norse poetry, but Skaldic poetry actually differs from Eddic poetry in style and times of composition. While some Poetic Edda verses contain Skaldic elements, they are often recognized as written at later date. Not that it matters here or anywhere. It's the internet. And I like the sound of my own voice.

    Hungarian translation from a book called Bernáth István - Skandináv mitológia (2005)
    Völuspá (A jósnő szava)
    1. Szólni szeretnék,
    szent istensarjak,
    Heimdall-fiaknak
    fiatalja, vénje.
    Úgy akartad, Hadúr,
    öntsem újra szóba
    ősi múltnak
    őrzött üzenetét.
    57. Feketül a napfény,
    föld merül a vízbe,
    fénye csillagoknak
    elfakul az égen,
    párasugár csap fel,
    félelmes lángoszlop,
    iszonyú hőség
    hatol az égig.
    45. Testvér tör testvérre,
    eltiporják egymást,
    rokonságot rokon
    ront szanaszét.
    47. Még áll, de már inog
    Yggdrasil, a kőris,
    lombja nyög és sír,
    hogy Loki elszabadult.
    58. Vonyít Garm veszettül
    Gnipahellir-kőnél:
    béklyója felpattan
    szabadul a Farkas.
    59. Vízesés dörög,
    sas suhan fölé,
    szikláról röppenve
    száll ki halászni.
    64. Lát ott egy csarnokot,
    csillogóbb a Napnál,
    nemes arany fedi,
    neve Gimlé:
    élni abban fognak
    érdemes emberek,
    örömöt élvezők
    örökétig.

Two people will survive, and from them a whole new and better man kind will emerge. Gods will die. Thor's son Magne will take Thor's hammer and his place etc. Read it!

      Oh dear, I have bought my books ages ago.
      You find Heimskringla, the story from All father walked til Snorri died. Two books heimskringla and the bible, you would always find these two books in any nork home.
      heimskringla.no got a lot of material, but I'm afraid it's only in original form and other nordic dialects(only anglo missing, as this is also been classified as a scand dialect).
      I would actually go for buying a translation of the books, like the eddas, heimskringla is online, there is many refs to dif rites etc here, though it's mostly about the Kings from Harald the first til Snorri died.
      Must reads is are Eigill Skallagrimson saga, Njáls saga, eyrbyggjasaga, landnåms saga, laxdæla saga.. .you'll get hooked. The kvads and dråpas, you must read Hávamál, that's online in anglo.
      www.pitt.edu/~dash/havamal.html
      org:
      www.heimskringla.no/wiki/H%C3%A1vam%C3%A1l
      one of my favorite dråpas.
      www.heimskringla.no/wiki/H%C3%A1konarm%C3%A1l
      The last heathen king and earl, Håkon Lade jarl.
      I'm amazed that so many people are into this now btw.
      If you learn icelandic, all the raw material will be there for you. Lot's get lost in translation. Hope I helped some

While the Persians were building their first magnificent empire mine were still tribesmen running the lakes and woods to the beat of an ancient hymn all but lost to the civilized Persians and Greeks... Over the generations since then to now in an unbroken line the song has become fainter and fainter and yet I hear echoes of that ancient hymn in this song and I am reminded again of what was and still could be.

    I have to say first that I don´t have norse blood, but that is not an impediment to love music, which is this fantastic universal language that join us all. This particular song, this poem, is so beautiful and it has such magnificent meaning about many trues. Life is that indeed, a ring, infinite, as the days and nights go over and over, and as the sun "reborn" each day, to give place to the moon, the same with each single and simple thing in our lives. I agree, there is not an end, there is a continium with ends and beginnins. This poem touches my soul.... and I live far away, in Argentina. I believe in the permanent cicles, and i enjoy each one of them. Thank you. It´s a pleasure connect through music and words. My respect and admiration.

      [1]:
      "For silence I ask all the holy children, great and small sons of Heimdallr; wilt thou, that I, Valfather! well recount ancient history of men, the first I remember.
      [57]:
      The sun darkens, earth in ocean sinks, from heaven trembles bright stars; the raging reek with age to linger, plays load heat with heaven itself.
      (45):
      Brothers may fight and fell each other, may sisters' sons kinship stain; (…)
      (47):
      Trembles Yggdrasil's ash yet standing, a feeble sound of aged tree, the Jotunn is loos; (…)
      [58] / (44):
      Barks now Garmr load before Gnipahelli, the leash may break, and Freki then runs.
      (59):
      (…)waterfalls descending, eagle flying over, she from mountains captures fish.

      Si la llengua serveix per res és per conèixer el món, des de com era i com és. Aquestes lletres ens recorden que som humans, per sobre de qualsevol definició imposada. Si entens això, no cal que agraeixis res mestre.

    Beautiful. His words at the beginning could make me cry. Every time somebody close to me dies, I will think of these words. Let go of old things to make room for new life.

    1. Hljóðs bið ek allar helgar kindir,
    meiri ok minni mögu Heimdallar;
    viltu, at ek, Valföðr! vel framtelja forn spjöll fíra,
    þau er fremst um man.
    (1. Hearing I ask | from the holy races,
    From Heimdall's sons, | both high and low;
    Thou wilt, Valfather, | that well I relate
    Old tales I remember | of men long ago.)
    57. Sól tér sortna, sígr fold í mar,
    hverfa af himni heiðar stjörnur;
    geisar eimi ok aldrnari,
    leikr hár hiti við himin sjalfan.
    (57. The sun turns black, | earth sinks in the sea,
    The hot stars down | from heaven are whirled;
    Fierce grows the steam | and the life-feeding flame,
    Till fire leaps high | about heaven itself.)
    45. Bræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask,
    munu systrungar sifjum spilla;
    (45. Brothers shall fight | and fell each other,
    And sisters' sons | shall kinship stain;)
    47. Skelfr Yggdrasils askr standandi,
    ymr it aldna tré, en jötunn losnar;
    (47. Yggdrasil shakes, | and shiver on high
    The ancient limbs, | and the giant is loose;)
    58. Geyr nú Garmr mjök fyr Gnipahelli,
    festr mun slitna en freki renna;
    (58. Now Garm howls loud | before Gnipahellir,
    The fetters will burst, | and the wolf run free;)
    59. falla forsar, flýgr örn yfir,
    sá er á fjalli fiska veiðir.
    (The cataracts fall, | and the eagle flies,
    And fish he catches | beneath the cliffs. )
    64. Sal sér hon standa sólu fegra,
    gulli þakðan á Gimléi;
    þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
    ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta.
    (64. More fair than the sun, | a hall I see,
    Roofed with gold, | on Gimle it stands;
    There shall the righteous | rulers dwell,
    And happiness ever | there shall they have. )

    When I listen to this, it saddens me to know that I can show this to the young, and they'll laugh at this and belittle it. Will not consider it music. Music like this inspires, lifts the spirit, calms the mind, and soothes the soul. Something that music of theirs lacks.

    • @omega1231

      Depends on the person and their origin i'd say, not everyone born after the 80s have a terrible taste in music.
