VALDI KALDI That´s Icelandic. Valdi is a nick name for Valdimar (propably orginally a Russian name). KALDI means, well you could say "cool" (Kaldur means cold), but rather it means someone who is brave or daring. Actually this is just a nice rhyme But in my childhood, there was a guy, that was called Valdi, & we kids always added Kaldi to it, it sounded so nice, VALDI KALDI.

@IGOROZKARSKY Interesting, thanks. Could it have got to Bohemia?

@partridgehearne

Could it have got to Bohemia?

Who knows? The vikings did a lot of travelling, sailing.

"To go BERSERK", the word berserk is Icelandic.

Put this in the youtube searchbox:

--- Langleik - Valdres Folkemuseum – Fagernes ---

There are a lot of this Vald in Norwegian &

Icelandic, Vald means power in Icelandic.

@partridgehearne Well, it is Bohemian (Czech) song! Or at least it was played in Bohemia (now The Czech Rep)... The notation was found on a book which belonged to Tomáš Štítný ze Štítného who was Czech. It is considered to be a Czech anonym dance melody from the 14th century. The instructions how to dance it, however, had not been preserved...

@ThePB06 Thanks, most instructive.

[billkilpatrick]

really enjoyed that - bravo!

[partridgehearne]

@billkilpatrick . Thanks, any idea what the title means? Id love to know.

[billkilpatrick]

@partridgehearne - absolutely no idea - probably doesn't have a meaning ... like "nonny-noonie" or "tra-la-la-la-la." i picked up the tune from a cd called "monch von salzburg" (CHR 77176.) they called it "caldy valdy" - 14th cent., from bohemia.

@billkilpatrick- Doggerel then!
