[negrofluorescente]

[Ertunga]

[YoruTsuyu]

@Ertunga : Sir Holger Lady Tala she dreamed a dream one night Wake up for the time it is right That the rich Sir Holger would lose his heart That rich Sir Holger I dreamed I dreamed of our grey steed He carried you to the court where you died My dear Lady Tala say not so May your dreams awaken after the eighth year They bashed at the door with poles and spears If Sir Holger is in there he must come out

[YoruTsuyu]

@Ertunga : Sir Holger he spoke with his two squires "Saddle my steed with the saddle of gold" When they arrived at Copenhagen There stood King Kristian on the white shore You Sir Holger are welcome to me Sir Holger Sir Holger it will cost you your life King Kristian chopped the head right off So that blood ran down over his feet When Lady Tala saw her master's corpse She went numb under the white sheet

[YoruTsuyu]

@Ertunga : Sir Holger was laid to rest at twelve At the stroke of eleven he rose up again He knocked at the door with fingers so thin Lady Tala slide back the bolts, let me in With no one have I arranged to meet And I will let no one in after the night's fall My dear Lady Tala give the farmer his cow 'Cause in Hell it is so difficult to live Lady Tala return Romman and Skromman 'Cause in Hell it's hard to burn for your friend

[YoruTsuyu]

@Ertunga :

Even if I'd go to Hell as a swan

I would truly not live as a pauper

Go to Hell with your squires

Wake up for the time it is right

And I will follow with my maidens

The rich Sir Holger

Sorry, it got shopped up and in the wrong order, but it's a translation at least :D

[Ertunga]

@YoruTsuyu Thanks a lot..Strange lyrics

[Ertunga]

This is real art.

[AtrumMixer]

To be honest, "Kristian Tyrann" wasnt that much of a bad guy, I think. Think he just got tired of his job. Like an angry mod on a forum.

[rafffe]

this is truly epic.. Love it!

[mortum000]

i wish some1 would upload this with better audio quality cuz this song freaking rocks

[Scum71succer]

herr Holger is a character of a nordic play or sumthing

[darkstarthirteen]

Awesome band...they were at the forefront of fusing traditional songs and modern sounds...so many have followed in their wake.....

[DerRabe81]

Der arme Herr Holger! / De arm Herr Holger! / The Pore master Holger!

[admiraltrainwreck]

@DerRabe81

Well, it's kind of his own fault for getting on that horse...

[patrockfree]

[Scum71succer]

[MoscowMadness]

[patrockfree]

[irinatl89]

So which king is this exactly? Christian IV? Just curious here.

[admiraltrainwreck]

@irinatl89

I would assume Christian II. He's kind of an asshole

[tjallew]

@admiraltrainwreck

in what way ? he nick necked a lot off aristocrats (Swedish) to day the so could over class

(I mean who would miss them the slaves)?

Big deal, to day it's much harder..

but the King was also hard on ditto Danish

and would had made the Danish farmer free from there master's

[ChillpointNews]

@irinatl89 Christian IV was the king of Denmark. Swedish kings have names such as Karl Gustav etc.

[admiraltrainwreck]

@ChillpointNews

Don't forget Victoria. I'm pretty sure she's a dude...

[vargen34]

Fan vad underbart!!!!!Detta är äkta svensk folkmusik.

[techtmeier]

hi hello you are from sweden?

Holger

[techtmeier]

what is the text in english?

[techtmeier]

na, the sound must be better in this produktion! The song is good.

Gruss Holger

[Scum71succer]

It's actualy sort of a opera :D and yeh it rawks

[mamsiri]

Could someone translate it,please?It would be nice to have the English version.Tack!

[admiraltrainwreck]

Am I the only one that thinks he's stupid for getting on that horse?

[vilktube]

@admiraltrainwreck

King Kristian was a really mean dude... Whole Scandinavia remembers him... some with anger, some with pleasure :-)

[admiraltrainwreck]

@vilktube He seems like a fun guy to me.

[vilktube]

@admiraltrainwreck

Then I guess you're Danish :-)

[admiraltrainwreck]

@vilktube Nope Swedish, I'm just pro-beheding

[vilktube]

@admiraltrainwreck

Ahahahahaha can't believe that :) because the first thing I was told when I came to Stockholm for the first time was about "Stockholm bloodbath". I don't know if the same Kristian beheaded Holger and pillaged and massared Swedish nobility... just the people to whom I spoke with had a negative emotions towards Danes and especially king called Kristian! :)

[admiraltrainwreck]

@vilktube

Doesn't bother me any, they weren't my friends...

[jonideejay]

Which Scandinavian language is this? I was thinking Danish or Swedish?

[YeerKiller9]

Garmarna's songs are in Swedish.

[Jhudora1997]

Swedish

[Amy66654]

swedish

[Scum71succer]

aesome story to :)

[DIESIONAENSEMBLY]

A fantastic tune, terrific played by the band, horrific singer though, a fraction to high on here pitch constanly. But never mind, its still up to 5 on ranking for us...

[Sweden80Here]

but a little bit to high on here pitch is what makes it stand out and add to that raw old folksong feeling. It makes it original. A perfect schooled voice would destroy that ancient feeling that is so typical for Garmarna.

[WXIWXI]

För jävla GO låt! Hoppas höra mer från GARMARNA snart igen!. Kram på er alla!

[XxXxFREAKxXxX1]

Ich find das Lied klasse. Schwedische Musik ist leider am aussterben :(

Gerade deshalb liebe ich die Band ♥

[apokalReiter666]

Dem ist nichts mehr hinzuzufügen. Ich stimme dir voll und ganz zu. das meiste skandinavische was international Erfolg hat ist einfach Paganmetal wobei es doch auch so viel guten Folk gibt.

[Eilysanca]

Schönes Video. Und ich verstehe schon einige Wörter =)

Es kursiert viel zu wenig Schwedische Musik, finde ich.

[igel10]

@Eilysanca Finde ich auch!

[hoellehimmel]

@Eilysanca NUR englischer mainstream kosiert, NICHTS anderes!

es ist sowieso viel zu wenig musikauswahl im öffentlichen radio!

NUR alte klassiker und moderner schlechter mainstream von rihanna und katy perry...

oder wie man die damen schreibt

[Eilysanca]

@hoellehimmel Kommt immer drauf an, wo man unterwegs ist hoellehimmel. Wenn man keine öffentlichen Radiosender hört, hat man das Problem nicht. ^^ Daher empfehle ich dir Internetradiosender.

[shinobiDOA2001]

this song sounds fuckin awesome!

[vilktube]

@shinobiDOA2001

Try to find an album version... even better!

[Chrysalide83]

Kann mich das nur anschließen ich verstehe zwar kein einziges Wort aber hört sich escht geil an.

[Uthuriel]

ich versteh kein wort aber

es klingt einfach nur geil

[xXx1Falcon1xXx]

hab mal ne seite gefunden mit einpaar wenigen texten

[jollybird66]

what does garmana mean in english or is it just a name?

[jakob098]

Garm is a hellhound in norse religion. "Garmarna" translates to "The Garms" in english.

[zillertaller]

the hellhound guarded the entrance to Hel

[Fyllbulten]

Garmarna is an ancient word for "the wolves" Today modern.the word is Vargarna

[metalmarkholland]

Think I gotta listen again, sounds great, refreshing

[TheFairywren]

Texten bygger på en lokal legend från Skåne om godsherren Holger Ulfstand på Häckeberga. Han ska på 1500-talet ha halshuggits i Köpenhamn för maktambitioner som hotade den danske kungen.

Det sägs att Holger då och då fortfarande kan ses komma ridande utan huvud i Genarpstrakten

[hoellehimmel]

you speak swedisch? nice, i can understand some of your writen text, i come from germany.

nice language!

[gulkuken]

cool my name is holger and i am rich hahahahahaha

[Ruhrpottwikinger]

My Name is Holger, too. But I´m poor. : (

; )

[Sweden80Here]

Holger is a very old germanic name. You should be proud of your name :D

[Ruhrpottwikinger]

Hej! I know that, and I am very proud of it! ; ) When I was a child, I didn't know it and thought it is a little bit strange Name, wanted to have a Name like Stefan or something like that. But when I grow older, I learned to be happy about it, to have not a common Name which is very very popular. And that Holger is an old nordic Name, and as I`m very interested in Vikings and old German-Tribes, so I love it very much and bear it with Pride! Greets to Sweden! : )

[Scum71succer]

actualy this a danish opera

[Sweden80Here]

Sounds interesting, didnt know that.

[tomi1231994]

really ? :) whats it about ? :)

[joonte1010]

Its a Swedish Folk song.

[skruvad]

Actually, it's neither Danish nor an opera.

It's swedish and it's swedish traditional music.

[alarik36]

The language is a little old-fashioned since this is a medieval ballad and it probably has been written down fifty to hundred years ago..

[joonte1010]

Todays Swedish with the Swedish used in 16th Century isnt that different at all.

[joonte1010]

/watch?v=jLlPYvuyk_E

u can watch that, and then u will understand what i mean.

[ulf2345]

JAAA! Die Verbindung von Black Metal Elementen und Folk!

[hoellehimmel]

nunja metal ist das ja nun wirklich eher nicht. aber es klingt trozdem sehr gut!

danke fürs reinstellen!

[zillertaller]

Far du i helvete med svennerna dina

vak upp här är en god tid

Så kommer jag efter med möerna mina

Den rike herr Holger

[Shrekdonkey1973]

This owns!

[Galgensprecher]

Mega geiles Lied!!!!

[janaxel1]

Schwedish und Nortisch.

Schule?

[Fyllbulten]

It´s swedish. Listen to "Hedningarna" (Finland.) Coooool.

[BoehserHaller]

Bin zufällig auf diese Band gestossen ich finde die Band richtig super aber meine Frage ist.

Ist das Schwedish oder doch ne andere Skandinavische Sprache?

English: What speak is this super Band?

[zillertaller]

swedish

[Burgix92]

5*!!

[Strafverfolger]

Jag håller med dig!

Grüße aus Deutschland

[kundzsa]

I love this song. Too bad the sound quality is so poor.

[Northorseman]

yea...

[kcsunshine64]

Great sound. She's so beautiful wow!

[WascMeister]

klart bra, fast jag vet inte om detta är min favorit av garmarna.

[joonte1010]

Fan vi har ett rikt utbud på gamla Svenska Folklåtar ^^ och riktigt bra är dem ^^ Man kan riktigt se Forn Sverige/Medeltidens Sverige framför sig ^^

[sanctus0natura]

I love this song. Thanks for uploading it. Seems there aren't many people who are even aware of the existence of such a great band.

[ostbagen]

Sir Holger

Lady Tala she dreamed a dream one night

Wake up for the time it is right

That the rich Sir Holger would lose his heart

That rich Sir Holger

I dreamed I dreamed of our grey steed

He carried you to the court where you died

My dear Lady Tala say not so

May your dreams awaken after the eighth year

[ostbagen]

They bashed at the door with poles and spears

If Sir Holger is in there he must come out

Sir Holger he spoke with his two squires

'Saddle my steed with the saddle of gold'

When they arrived at Copenhagen

There stood King Kristian on the white shore

You Sir Holger are welcome to me

Sir Holger Sir Holger it will cost you your life

[ostbagen]

King Kristian chopped the head right off

So that blood ran down over his feet

When Lady Tala saw her master's corpse

She went numb under the white sheet

Sir Holger was laid to rest at twelve

At the stroke of eleven he rose up again

He knocked at the door with fingers so thin

Lady Tala slide back the bolts, let me in

With no one have I arranged to meet

And I will let no one in after the night's fall

[ostbagen]

My dear Lady Tala give the farmer his cow

'Cause in Hell it is so difficult to live

Lady Tala return Romman and Skromman

'Cause in Hell it's hard to burn for your friend

Even if I'd go to Hell as a swan

I would truly not live as a pauper

Go to Hell with your squires

Wake up for the time it is right

And I will follow with my maidens

The rich Sir Holger

[Komsip]

Poor greedy Holger :(

[SvitjodsJarl]

Swedish folkmusic owns.

[666psychoneurosis666]

Ohh yes :D

It certainly does!!

[einer6von6vielen6]

Det äger ;o)

[stiepo2000]

nice song ;)

by the way ... my name is holger xD

[BlackaMagic]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

[metalpiper]

Excellent jam!

[Hagalaz21]

10++++++++++++++++++++++

[ThisSpitefulSnake]

Herr Holger burns in hell (greed)

[Morkvann]

I think on limewire

[AYUNA91]

Where I could find mp3 of this group?

[Quiebus]

why does it take so long to loead?

[trinquart]

Bara bra!

[urduib]

I listen to Satyricon and Garmarna ? Where is the problem, No mistake detected.

[darkthronetube]

Same here, my friend. Im another black metal fan who really likes this style of music. Arkona, of Russia, is my favorite folk (they call themselves pagan metal which is fine by me) band.

[Svithjod]

Var i sverige kan jag köpa en CD?

[Bakomhuset]

Deras skivor finns på CDON, kolla där!

[Shrekdonkey1973]

Jeg elsker Garmarna.

[hanged66]

amazing music! i love that band...

[SonicMountain]

Garmarna är jävligt bra.

[RivenrockGardens]

Poor Herr Holger, but his misdeeds made for a fine lesson told over many a hearth through the ages, and has now made it to a great song and video. We are all much richer, due to his larceny.

[Bundeswehrtyp]

Perfekter geht es nicht.

[ninagoth]

this is awesome!melodic and the language fixes very well with the song!this song is splendid!the video is excellent done!sadly, not all their videos sound like this!

[papudaola]

I love this song, it's so mysterious... is there anyone who's got original words of this song?

[7111nailuj]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait to learn more about the men playing the instruments. Really talented.

[lukasLKR]

Vikings, that`s what i feel...."clear" pagan times...

[netza]

Uppsala. <3

[BVB85]

Ich habe jetzt "Vanner och Frander" und das Lied hier gehört und muss sagen das klingt nich schlecht

Wer is die Band haben die noch mehr solcher Songs!?

[mjonas10]

Why are you speaking german?

[7111nailuj]

Why AREN'T you?

[mjonas10]

Because i´m not german..

[swaggadish]

This is what we in sweden call Folkhögskolemusic.

[chociroc]

GOOD STUFF

[Mattiasgbg]

This is an amazing song, Swedish music at it's best. Dark, beautiful and melodic.
