Krauka - "Óðinn"

[ArpiCZ]

Try Čechomor 0jloQtMSWaI

[bipkatr]

in turkic mythology "oding" its mean "lord of time", "eternal power", "light of all suns"

"od" its mean "timeless"

"od tengri" its mean timeless god.

Greetings from Turkey, north brothers...

[Illvaettr]

@bipkatr That's interetsing! But it's also logic, since Odin and the rest of the Æsir came from Asia

[Seelenfresserchen]

Quite lovely... x)

And I want those green trousers so bad... *__*

[norXmal]

Óðinn = Odin(Odhinn) In old Norse

[adolphbot]

Why is there a hobo in their video? And why didn't they kick him out when he started yelling?

[gardini100]

Island have big place in my heart

[thenorthwoodsman]

Good stuff, greetings from Wisconsin!~

[MsKateLes]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!

[wodanaz999]

it´s very nice song,thumb up,hail for the northgods

[odinnbreki]

Hi... I'm Óðinn

[TheSpartan188]

Where's the metal version of this?

[ArpiCZ]

@TheSpartan188 I hope that nowhere.

[xaviborrasfont]

LOL!, can't stop laughing

[psychonerdgames]

this is cool man

[kuolleetomenapuut]

greeeeeaaaaat !!!! I can not stop listening and watching. Thank you highly.

[ArpiCZ]

That ugly troll in the green pants is the best :)

[ArpiCZ]

Dobré.

[zarkor45]

can totally see those chains take when those Goats take off, Hold on.

[roundtheblock1]

Those Icelandics don't drop their final "r's," that's for sure. 

[Fraususemil]

Oh weia. Wasn alberner Kram. Aber immerhin lustig!

[RIKHAHRT]

YEAHHHH!!



[Daveane]

Piękne. Świetny zarówno wokal jak i gra instrumentów.

[boyrichboy]

Icelandic Red Hot Chilli Peppers? Lol

[roundtheblock1]

The old gods were a lot cooler than the new one.

[Wolfighter27]

@roundtheblock1 Try 'are'. ;)

[MatthewAriel]

kvlt

[Wytchwolf2000]

Way better than the usual "scream till their ears bleed " pagan rock.

[500snw]

wtf, ain't the singer that "homeless" guy Mustard ?

[Scratchyt1]

Those are the Keebler Elves that make refrigeratable food.

[Deadftw1]

Those green pants...



[nokiapunk]

@Deadftw1 It is spongeviking squarepants =)

[tysken94]

not quite what i was looking for, yet nice.

[bishiler]

@tysken94 Wow - I couldn't explain it better. Your words are *exactly* what I thought the first time I listened to this band (and it was this song).

[Arwyroe]

I want his hat

[zesartt]

very good!!i like!

[alphatotheomega7]

Sooooo cheesy yet soooo awesome simultaneously...

[Deathend]

I do not know what is going on, but I like it.

[rckola2003]

I may not be able to understand a word, but I can "feel" the strength, respect, and beauty this culture has within and for itself just by hearing the music. The parts that I am quick to pass off as "humorous" are probably due to the fact it is not commonplace to see this kind of display in my area of the world.

I supposidly have some "Nordic" (general term) blood in me, being an American mut and all.

[lpuekjai]

im sorry but this is just so funny xD

[ariinallhonesty]

I love this song... I want to learn Icelandic so badly... AH!

[quantumechanick]

@ariinallhonesty

Me too...Icelandic is so beautiful.

[danirandpoels]

@quantumechanick Is this for sure Iclandic??

[beini321]

@danirandpoels mhm

[starsupinthesky]

Un-co green pants man!!!

[bigkountry69]

Their bass player gets down.

[Partyffs]

Hails from Norway brothers and sisters ^^

[OfXPaganXBlood]

@Partyffs Skál!

[Arwyroe]

hmmm.... WOW's graphics have greatly improved!

[Schattenfreund]

@Arwyroe Not WOW. LOTRO! I can see Bilbo! ;)

[OrinDac]

Thats funny, I was explaining that exact assumption about Vikingr and the association with exploring and the bay to my wife. Again thanks.

[nazisucksass]

awesome! Greetings from slavic pagan Bvlgaria!

[jkarinn]

awesome song yes! but everything could look so more period without the bass guitar? no other way to get the sound with a period instrument?

[PTR131]

Beautiful.

[OrinDac]

Hey guys. I love this video and song! I've listened to it like 3 times since I found it yesterday. Is there any way I could get an english translation?

[Schutzraumtechnik999]

3 people were just dealt a deathblow with Mjöllnir

[OrinDac]

@Schutzraumtechnik999 No ....no that is to awesome and honorable a death for them. They died in their sleep, and no one will ever remember who they were.

[Schutzraumtechnik999]

@OrinDac LOL or die of illness, one of the least honourable ways to go. Also it bought you instant denial into Asgard (you went to Hél)

[chrispgrom]

are they singing in icelandic

[beini321]

@chrispgrom yes

[tubveh]

Vikings with green pants?

[OrinDac]

@tubveh Viking is a word that means raider and was never what any of the Norse folk called themselves as a people. They were also very fond of brightly colored clothing. Especially anyone who was a singer or poet.

[tubveh]

@OrinDac Yes, I know, that's just a joke. =)

[Varghalur]

@OrinDac They did call themselv a "víkingr" but not in the meaning it has today. Vík means bay and the -ingur ending is put after the name of a place the person comes from. If a person lives in a vík, like most "vikings" did, that person was a "víkingr". Just like a person that today lives in Reykjavík(notice the vík there) is a Reykvíkingur.

It just has to do with icelandic/old norse grammar...

[OrinDac]

@Varghalur Interesting. I realized recently that I had the "Raider" meaning incorrect, but I was under the impression that it actually meant "Explorer". Your saying that it actually means something completely different. There seems to be a lot about the Old Norse that the world at large has wrong. Thanks for the knowledge.

[Varghalur]

@OrinDac More like foreigners can't understand it. I'm icelandic and a lot of this is rather common knowledge here, since old norse is just "old icelandic" and icelandic hasn't really changed much for the past 1000 years. But you can go "a viking",that means to explore, but it is written differently than a person living in a vík(víkingr), to explore is written: að fara í víking. Has another ending. Though in order to explore you have to take your boat to the bay and sail it in the "vík" :P

[OfXPaganXBlood]

@Varghalur

Just like i would be considered a Hvalvíkingur, as i am from Hvalvík, FO

[grayseeas]

weeell me fuckinl love ther random musik move xD

[sombretoy]

so sweet positive happy music, my respect and regards :-))))))

[Danezu28]

oh! everybody run! the vikings are coming! :)) i prefer vikings with instruments in their hands, not with swords :)

[gmolasher]

...

Que bueno este genero exitO .



[Medvjedu]

"Krauka"... just a guess, but is that Icelandic for "crow"? Anyway, nice video.

[99thBattalion]

Damn....sweet music

[Hardrada88]

I just found these fellas..rather fun I must say, i like this song.

[leichivanhell]

[TheBurlingtonCrow]

[fqat]

This is so dorky

[Unker47]

Please can you send me lyrics translated in english, i don't understand what the singer says :( Thanks!! ^^

[Skullfaakked]

@Unker47 it's just a bunch of names for Odin :)

[Unker47]

@Skullfaakked Thank you, now i know it: I'm reading the Poetic Edda :D

[Unker47]

Epic song... *O*

[Look in the background at 0:46, you can see a car :D]

[SiN3mOn]

i keep coming back to this. love it

[rattinox]

Krauka are the only music-menn who could do justice to the Saga of Sinfjötli. How about it, Krauka?

"Væri ykkr, Sinfjötli

gunni at heyja ok glaða ornu....."

[managarm1349]

video budget 125$ lol

[Z0tteltier]

I wish I'd have just listen to the music^^

[musicaroo22]

I absolutely love this! You guys are great! Never stop making unique music like this! How do you say Cheers?

[BirkaViking]

Awesome song :)

Cheers from Sweden

[benneburg]

Mange tak til min bedste ven, for at introducere mig for det her. Kan det passe man har set jer på Lindholm Høje?

[AngelAffinity18]

Det her er faktisk meget godt lavet. :P

[2silvertv]

Er de islendinger?



[beini321]

@2silvertv nei enn þeir singja á íslensku

[Pendragonm]

Loved the music and the video!!

Fantastisk!

Venlig hilsen fra Brasil!

[pash75]

Awesome video! I missed this when you posted but my friends have been passing the link around. My wife and I first found your band when we stayed in Hafnarfjordr in November 2002 for our honeymoon. (Don't laugh, being from Minnesota, the weather in Iceland then was nice enough we just wore rain jackets.) We've seen you folks a few times since then but, honestly, I don't recall which countries it was in. (I love that about the music scene in Europe.)

[TheProphetEliza]

omg the video cracks me up!!! great music though!!

[Frejadisa]

Älskar delen där man ser en vit bil i bakgrunden..

Äring och frid ifrån Skånelandet.

[Ulfvaldr2012]

Love this, I have to listen to this at least once a day. Hail Óðinn.

[EmperorMagno]

Awesome music!

Hails from Brazil!

[niupas]

good music! *_* I like this song, it's fantastic :)

[Thorinskald]

Where was this video taken? I am interested in knowing where the statue/artwork in the background is.....also.....is it Thor on his chariot, as that's what it looks like.

[jhthorisson]

Great music I like it. :)

[admirerofvoguls]

I like it!

[nschoena]

You guys rocked Moorhead last night! See you at Aquarium tonight!

[icy9567]

hay krauka im from the elementry school you went to on september 24th 2010 you rock!

[karinagirl2]

Just saw them in Solvang, CA for Danish Days celebration, they were awesome!!



[DemolisherovChrist]

Too modern. I liked their folk sound much better.

[kloiten]

The green pants distract.

[yhwh666]

basista psuje klimat :) nie chciał się przebrać?

[lambikjerom]

Subbed your myspace yesterday, ordered the cd and subbed the youtube channel today. Great music and musicians.

Only one small point of critic- the electric bass in the video why not try a bucket bass. This is probably not a traditional ancient instrument but looks way cooler and authentic in the video

[minlax]

mega fedt musik!! så jer nede på Moesgård Vikingetræf og det var så fedt og se jer!

[kyringe]

@minlax Jeg var der også. Fed fest!

[minlax]

@kyringe Det kan jeg kun sige ja til :)

[kyringe]

@minlax Du har nok set mig, stående på et bord og synge for fulde gardiner.

[minlax]

@kyringe Haha måske! :P Men kommer du igen til sommer?

[kyringe]

@minlax Det regner jeg med, jeg vil nok være at finde i Joms lejren, eller på kroen, eller på stranden med en flok tøser.

[Fenrizulven]

one of the best bands Ive found in the last months! Supreme!!! Regards from Argentina! Skål!

[shaerilee]

they're fckin hilarious! i like haggrid best.

[darkronin0311]

this song is great. a chant of the bynames of the Allfather. great video too. nice and simple. im sure the High One approves.

[SwordWolfS]

Hehe, caught me off guard. Good stuff, this music seems more fun than the other bands I've heard. Keep up the good work. Ves heil from Vinland!

[Andorn1]

Des mo so geil sproch Wohl heil us Germanin

[bjarnifreyr]

[charlieRicketts]

[charlieRicketts]

@MrSafarist i would imagine its old norse

[SonOfAnnwn]

Muhuahahaha... hört sich an und sieht aus wie Rumpelstielzchen auf Dope!!!! *g*

Das kommt davon, wenn man zulange den Gasen der Solfataren ausgesetzt ist...

[MoscowMadness]

Great band!

[333Ruslana]

Very good music !!! ;) Scandinavian folklore the best !

Greetings from Polish ;)

[alchamy30]

very good band very nice song like  a lot from them

[storestyggesvendsens]

Men fed sang :)

[storestyggesvendsens]

Faktisk var Thor den højeste Gud da han Var Asernes øverste leder dengang Vanerne kom fra syd og bekrigede Aserne, det var først da de fandt ud af de ikke kunne blive ved med at bekæmpe hinanden og at de måtte slå sig sammen for at bekæmpe jætterne de slog sig sammen, derved skabtes stamtræet for de nordiske guder... de kommer fra 2 Gude slægter Aserne og Vanerne... det er en bred mening at Odin var øverst, men det er en fejl.. Thor var den øverste leder

[einherjen]

@storestyggesvendsens ahhh, Thor var en stor klippert, men Odin var vist mest kongeagtig :) Tænk bare på hans kongesæde, hans hær af einherjen, hans megen viden, hans magiske evner og evne til at give stridens mand sejeren. Synes du ikke, at det er ting, som kendetegner en høvding? Men ja, fed sang!

[storestyggesvendsens]

@einherjen Sagen er den at hvis du religionshistorisk går ind og kigger på det, det kræver lidt forskning, men aserne og Vanerne var 2 gude familier... og tro det eller lad være Mytologisk siger de det samme at vanerne kom nede syd fra og bosatte sig, hvilket endte med stridigheder, indtil jætterne blev deres fælles problem... men Ja, vi opfatter alle Odin som den højeste og den viseste, men faktum est at han nok har fungeret som Vismand..

[einherjen]

@storestyggesvendsens jeg er enig i, at odin måske i højere grad var en vismand, end en konge. Jeg menerat huske, at Odin ifølge Snorre Sturlasson stod i spidsen for en vandring syd fra her til skandinavien, og at både aserne og vanerne kom hertil ved den lejlighed. Men der er jo flere udlægninger af den historie...

[storestyggesvendsens]

@einherjen Sådan som jeg har forstået det, så var Aserne i Norden i forvejen, da Vanerne kom til, hvilket skabte krigen imellem dem... og det var først da Jætterne kom at de slog sig sammen og giftede sig ind i hinandens Æter...

(Æter... et begreb som næsten er uddød... ret trist)

[storestyggesvendsens]

@einherjen men ja, der er mange udlægninger af samme historie... vidste du at De vandrede fra et sted kaldet Arion nede ved Indien, som er en kæmpe sø? og det er derfra den "Ariske" race stammer fra?

[GamelessOne]

Great music and great clothes to, lol.

[VtLute]

Very nice! Hail the Allfather!

[Avzzor]

GREAT FILMING

"Whu~t?!"

[madchessLeviathan]

great audio, great video, heard them live at some christmasparty once but did not think so higthly about them then.

[baggeparkour]

This is just awesome!!! WOW! But my favourite is still krummi ! pls post it on youtube! :)

[vintervalkyrie]

det er ikke sunget på dansk men islandsk tror jeg.

[vanefreja86]

denne er islandsk...andre er danske fx vølverne.

[shitcreek87]

Detta är isländska. Låter inte ens likt danska enligt mig.

[sjoelund1]

Haha han synger ikke dansk her :D

Hvis han gør, forstår jeg det ikke selv :D

[madchessLeviathan]

der er ikke noget at forstå, har hørt den igennem nogle gange, og jeg er overbevist om at hele sangen er dækket ind af titlen

det eneste han synger er en opremsning af odins forskellige navne, odin har ifølge mytologien 40 eller 80 navne der efter sigende alle representerer en egenskab, eller en forklædning.

om det er sunget på moderne eller oldislandsk kan jeg ikke svare på, men mit gæt er oldislandsk.

[markus124]

Seen then in Cedar Rapids on the 6th and must say they put on awesome show. cds are getting very hard to get btw
