Per Chr. Frost - Fuglakvæði

[unijoh]

Fyrsta dag, ið ljómin víkur,

er mær tað at telja,

skúgvalist ella falkaleik,

hvilkin skulu vær velja?

Fuglin í fjøruni

við sínum nevi reyða

mangt eitt dýr og høviskan fugl

hevur hann greitt frá deyða.

Fuglin í fjøruni.

Approxomate lyrics:

Fyrsta dag, ið ljómin víkir,

er mær tað at telja,

skúgvalist ella falkaleik,

hvilkin skulu vit velja?

Fuglin í fjøruni

við sínum nevi reyða

mangt eitt djór og høviskan fugl

hevur hann greitt frá deyða.

Fuglin í fjøruni.

maybe "slave of life" so.. then gun is great solution,but for real if you have to working for somone you are an a slave... then most of us are slaves;)

[sinbysin666]

Spare the sarcasm.

I actually put no effort, or thought, into my arguments. But how can I base a constructive argument, on your disturbingly idiotic, prejudice filled and ignorant view?

I must repeat, you are the prime example of how most people see Americans. Just plain dumb.

Get out of 1800's. In the post modern society, there is no place for pride. Only truth.

[remindbender]

@sinbysin666 hehe i spare the austin you know ;-)

eye tell you how are you to talk hehe about truth

truth is nothing like a helmet you can put on your head mind you from thee inside there is nothing like truth you know there are only meaning like mean thinks left you got right~~~~~~~~

You speak of ignorance. But please, read that comment again.

There is no reason why the Faroese need a army. As a province of Denmark, a lot of danish military is situated around the islands.

I don't claim to be different, none faroese claim to be different. The flag isn't danish. It has a cross, yes, just like the danish, finnish, norwegian, icelandic etc.

And the fact that the islands aren't well known, what kind of dumb argument is that?

[sinbysin666]

We know as much about what happens around the world, as anyone. Everything from the war, to your all precious hollywood movie stars.

You really live up to your country's social prejudice. Congratz, you're dumbest person I've seen so far on the internet. Redneck.

[jogvanTJ]

Feitur sangur!

[mrbean126]

go fuglakvædi ;b

[Steppedk]

LOOOOOVELY MUSIC! =)

[Torkil1984]

The Faroe Islands are located 62,00° north 7,00° west :)

[Rolantjo1]

This song is a mixture of "modern" music mixed together with the traditional Faroese music. Fuglakvæði is a very old song handed down through generations and is told by way of the chaindance, a tradition done by the Faroe Islanders for over a millennia. thegirlofthemelody : Oh we do exist, we just don't advertise it ;) (you might want to check out "Týr" if you like the old folk songs spiced up a bit)

[radbarij]

Oh fuck off! Fuglakvæði is not HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS. It was written (in print!) around the 18-hundreds by Poul Nolsøe. They do do it in a "chain dance" styleeee, but that's more because it was the style at the time. The idea behind the lyric is that the greedy and reckless birds represent the (Danish) government officals at the time when the Faroes were opressed by Denmark. It's basically satire. So there.

[sinbysin666]

Like the fables.

[sinbysin666]

Just look north from Scotland on the map. It's easy to miss, because of the small size.

[simona12F]

WooooooW!!

[eto8216]

this is wonderful!!

are the voices from actual people singing the kvæði????

pffff :|

[sinbysin666]

Of course. What else would it be?

[eto8216]

maybe the guys of the band could've got organized and sang together. an appropriate reverb along with a doubling of voices can help to make it sound like a folkspeople singing

[sinbysin666]

Maybe.

But i have seen a kvæði being sung many times. And this is how it sounds.

[promber]

omg this is good!!!!
