[XxjackassxX676]

@whithhammer tes ideologies nazies tu les garde pour toi asshole !

[littlerudegirrrrl]

Slightly reminds me of Byzantine chant for some odd reason but this is amazing

[OnyxPammegistos]

@littlerudegirrrrl There are no Byzantine chants; merely Eastern Roman ones.

[littlerudegirrrrl]

@OnyxPammegistos

same thing i guess? o.o;

just historians called it byzantine bc of Byzantium? but still this reminds me of something like that

[OnyxPammegistos]

@littlerudegirrrrl Byzantium was an ancient Hellenic city founded in '667 b.c.' after Byzas from Megara. The term 'Byzantine Empire' is the name the German historian Hieronymous Wolf gave to the christianized Eastern Roman Empire a hundred years after the fall of Constantinopel, in order to distinguish the Medieval Hellenic history from the Ancient Roman one.

[littlerudegirrrrl]

@OnyxPammegistos I actually knew that lol (the first part) but not who came up with the term

learned something new! cool! :D

[BigLeatherJacket]

[nuclearblastowns]

Werian Se Angelcynn !

[MClegitCraftThatSht]

lol, if this is Old Norwegian or Old Norse, than the Norwegian havn't changed much to now. I can still understand what they are saying.

I am Norwegian btw.

[LacrimaLuciferi]

@MClegitCraftThatSht ain't chorus saying that "those who are calm don't have foes" or smth like that?

[theinmortal6]

@MClegitCraftThatSht I am Spanish, so I can´t guess what are they saying. All I can do is learning the lyrics by memory.

[Lauv]

@theinmortal6 The original chorus in old norse is this: Noregs menn,dansið væl í stillum; stillið tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs men, dansið væl í stillum.

In english it is something like this Norways men dances very stylish Stylish, thinks every one Knights, Norway's men Dances very stylish

[theinmortal6]

@Lauv Thanks! I love Escandinavian culture.

[Lauv]

@theinmortal6 If you wonder, the song is about the Norwegian overtaking of the Faroese Islands. Sigmund being a christian supporting the Norwegian King and the pagan Trondur supporting Faroese Independence from Norway. That the Norwegians dance in the chorus is maybe because they celebrate they took control over the Faroese Islands

[ravernomus]

@MClegitCraftThatSht I'm not from Nordic countries, but have to say that there are lots of common words within Old English language (Britain in 10th or 11th century) and current Dutch language (Netherlands and Belgium). These two sound so similar!!! By this example i want to say that some languages are still comprehensible despite that there is a gap of centuries between them.

[version1990]

haha det monumentet er rett over fjorden for meg :P bor i nærheten av Stavanger/Hafrsfjord...

this monument is right over the fjord from me, I live nearby in Stavanger...

[decirlomismo]

is there a way to follow what they're singing? some text? nevertheless I'm quite sure that it would be difficult to read...

[theinmortal6]

So this is sung in Old Norse?

Pretty strange song, but still amazing.

[aGeilini]

@theinmortal6 no, it's sung in a mixure of Faroese and Norwegian.

the story is about the most famous viking battle in Faroese history, which aftermath of which sealed the faith of the Faroe islands, where the islands fineally gave themselves to be under the Norwegian crown.

[theinmortal6]

@aGeilini I had no idea, but thanks! Sounds interesting, as far as I love history.

[Dimrain48]

This song is magnificent.

[nordlolz]

DE TRE SVERD ER UTROLING!

[aGeilini]

do you know what this song laks?

a member from Týr to sing the vocalsin its original language Faroese, instead of this Ny-Norsk adoptation.

[HumbleViking26]

It's the monument of my ancestor Harald Fairhair! Yeah!

[IXTHROWXBOLTS]

the swords are very large.....havnt u ever seen pictures of people standing by them

[Yarwer]

that looks like swords, i don't think it is a monument: it is a matter of perspective - the camera angle is aimed upwards, extremely close to the swords[with a wide lens, or w/e i am not an expert on cameras]

so the swords look monumental.

[skromt]

It's a monument. It's the three giant swords at Hafrsfjord, marking King Harald's victory and the collection of the western counties into Norway(what is today eastern Norway wasn't part of Norway at the time)

[Yarwer]

thank you : ]

[skromt]

No problem! Also, I must state that they don't sing in old norse here, it seems they have norse elements- throwing in a nominative case ending here and there, but it sounds more like some archaic Norwegian dialect with some nynorsk thrown in. Being a student of old norse I suppose I would have recognized it if it was there :P

[torhjelm]

I think it´s the Faroese element what makes it sound so Norse. The song is based on Faroese ballad Sigmundskvæði yngra. It appears to me they have norwegianized the lyrics to some extent, but still kept them as close to the original Faroese as possible.

Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum;

stilli tykkum allar,

riddarar, Noregs menn!

dansið væl í stillum.

[Hollandia777]

@skromt "... and the unification of the western countries into Norway... " (Sorry!)

Greet's!

[PaulStroh]

@Yarwer are you an imbecile? those swords were crafted from bronze and placed there for Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) who united norway into one kingdom. you fucking fail.

[Yarwer]

you are the imbecile

like i need to be told twice what they are.

[PaulStroh]

@Yarwer obviously you do.

[Yarwer]

thank you for proving my point

[PaulStroh]

any time

[Dimrain48]

Sir, he is a troll, just ignore Yarwer!!!

[godionysus]

epic!great inspiration from enslaved to do this song
