[Steph9737]

Wait, is the uploader of the video a member of Malinky?? OMG! great to see your music!!!! traditional folk is the best thanks for sharing this, greetings from Panama :)

[MidnaLover]

P.S. You guys (Malinky) is amazing too (; The two sisters is also one of my favourite nordic fairytales! <3 Thank you for this video! D.S.

[MidnaLover]

This is amazing, not just musically, but also by language. I am Swedish myself and have a great interest in language, and maybe especially the anglo saxon and norse branches! When I listen to this, it seems like I can understand a great deal without translation! I feel both happy and proud that our traditions and languages are so closely related.

Btw. Ranarim is my favourite folk-band, they perform extremely well both on disc and live. I would love to go to the celtic connection Festival! <3

[arjantjeee]

i have an anglosaxon dutch dialect :) named twentsch

[MidnaLover]

Cool (: I would like to study Anglosaxon one day, and add it to my "library" of language-knowledge :,D

Is your dialect close to original Anglosaxon? (:

[arjantjeee]

my dialect is called nethersaxon, i live at the border of holland-germany. and the grammar is realy close to the anglosaxon grammar.

like in old english they qwould prabably have said: mine wife (pronounced as: meene weeve) to my wife.

and in twentsch we say: mien wief. (meen weef)

and there are a few things more which are almost the same :)

They're coming to college tomorrow night. Cool!

[cocochanelleke]

Thanks for sharing this version of Twa Sisters!

This video and sound on YT however does you all not enough justice as singers and players.

[Siijiska]

What language are they singing at? Is it Scottish people singing in Swedish or something like that?

It's a beautiful song however.

[malinkysteve]

We're singing in Scots and Swedish. Malinky is from Scotland, Ranarim from Sweden. The song exists in both traditions, so we did a version in both languages. Hope that explains it! Thanks for the compliment :)

[Siijiska]

Wow, that's cool!

I'm a Swede, so I've heard it in Swedish before, but I did not know there's a Scottish version. Amazing!

[Inte100]

Where can I get info on the next upcoming Celtic Connections Festival?

Hi Blissmo, I'm afraid we don't have the whole concert on video, just a few songs. If I get time I will post some others up soon. Thanks for your interest!
