Praise be to Odin the All-Father. He who follows the Nine Noble has a place among the brave. Denounce the alien religions and let forth the pagan ways of old. Bless the Sons of Wood and Wave. Embrace your heathen heritage. Embrace the heathen hammer.
juast so you know.. the mother who sang this song originaly.. sang it to her child before throwing it into the Öxará(Lake) this is the sadest song i know.. mostly used in funerals of young people
sofðu unga ástin mín úti regnið grætur mamma geimir gullin þín gamla legg og völuskrín við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur það er margt sem myrkið veit minn en hugur þungur oft ég svarta sandin leit svíða græna eingireit í jöklinum hljóða dauðadjúpa sprungur sofðu lengi sofðu rótt seint mun best að vakna mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt meðan hallar degi skjótt að mennirnir elska missa gráta og sakna
cant say for 30,, Fjalla eyvindue vas 20 years living in the mountains, and sofðu unga ástin mín was written about a young miss that could no more care for her baby and decided to take it out into the wild to let it die
Schlaf mein kleiner Liebling ein! Draußen fällt der Regen. Mutter schaukelt 's Wiegelein ist ja schon so alt wie Stein. Träum durch den Nebel, dem Tage entgegen! Überall herrscht Dunkelheit. Schwer meine Gedanken. Schwarzer Sand - wie vor der Zeit decket unsre Ängstlichkeit. Die Gletscherspalten uns weisen die Schranken. Schlafe endlich nun, schlaf ein! Bald schon ist es Morgen. Träume auch den Wassern zu! Väter schirmen unsre Ruh. Ihr ewges Sehnen: Sich um uns zu sorgen.
This song is called "Sofðu unga ástin mín" or sleep my young love. It is indeed a lullaby, but not from viking times. It's from a play published in 1911, about Fjalla-Eyvindur, an outlaw who lived in the 18th Century and is a real historic person.
Sofðu unga ástin mín Úti regnið grætur Mamma geymir gullin þín gamla leggi og völuskrín Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur Það er margt sem myrkrið veit minn er hugur þungur Oft ég svarta sandinn leit svíða grænan engireit Í jöklinum hljóða dauðadjúpar sprungur Sofðu lengi, sofðu rótt seint mun best að vakna Mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt meðan hallar degi skjótt að mennirnir elska missa gráta og sakna
Sleep my little loved one sleep tears of rain are teeming Mother will your treasures keep precious toys from bones of sheep till daylight puts an end to dreaming All the woes which darkness knows make my spirit languish Pitch-black sands I've often seen burn away the fields of green the glacier's lifeless depths cry out in anguish Sleep my baby sleep content you must learn tomorrow Nature never can relent fleeting daylight soon is spent and life's a tale of love and loss and sorrow

@KnifeNut88 Btw this song is not that old, was composed in the early 19th century. Not really much heathen/viking ...

The woman singing this is Rannveig Sif Sigurdardottir. (I think someone asked a while ago but I didn't see a response. Forgive me if I overlooked it)
Haunting and ethereal. Such a moving piece. I like this version the best.
