@gilleli: I am speaking entirely for myself here--Im the blonde on the left in the video--when I say, uh, yeah. I have a pretty accurate idea how funny we sound. Theres no disrespect intended--there's just always a funny factor when trying to learn a piece using phonetics and written word in a language I dont speak, but wish to honor by trying to learn anyway.

@gilleli (continued): Heres the thing: you can totally point and laugh at the errors. Or you can consider the fact that this piece of Faeroese culture and balladry tradition inspired a couple of nonFaeroese performers to risk sounding funny in homage to the incredibly cool balladry traditions alive and well in the Faeroes, here on the other side of a considerable geographical, cultural and musical separation.

@TheSavageDaughter I'm from the Faroe Islands and I'm incredibly impressed by you. You're really good at pronouncing the language. Don't let anyone tell you different.
