Mediaeval Baebes - Märk Hur Vår Skugga

I didn't have the performance of this song, so i added some Scandinavian pictures.
Pls answer in English, I don't know any Norse language.....


[ Märk Hur Vår Skugga ]

Märk hur vår skugga, märk Movitz mon frère
Inom ett mörker sig slutar
Hur guld och purpur i skoveln, den där
Byts till grus och klutar
Vinkar Charon från sin brusande älv
Och tre gånger sen dödgrävaren själv
Mer du din druva ej kryster
Därföre, Movitz, kom hjälp mig och välv
Gravsten (gravvård) över vår syster
Så gick till vila från slagsmål och bal
Grälmakar Lövberg din maka
Där, ditåt gräset långhalsig och smal
Hon än glor tillbaka
Hon från Dantobommen skildes idag
Och med henne alla lustiga lag
Vem skall nu flaskan befalla
Torstig var hon och uttorstig är jag
Vi är torstiga alla

What album is this from (if any?)

[martijnny]

@PastTimePsychic Well, this song is taken from the album Mirabilis.

Sorry for the late response though...

[Kraftslav]

By the way, I'll attone for that previous post by giving a translation if anyone is interested ^^

[martijnny]

yeah, u could.... ;)

[Andersson203]

The pronounciation was a bit off but other than that it was pretty good. The fact that they're actualy trying varms me in all the right places.

[pfalky2k]

@peetaah in the words on the maightee bewsh "THIS IS AN OUTRAAAGE!" as we all know too well. norwegian fjords are easily recognised by their pining blue parrots.

[Krzyszczynski]

Had to laugh - at least one of these pictures is of Milford Sound, Fiordland, NEW ZEALAND...

[SuperScruffster]

@bhsykes trust me... doesnt sound swedish ;)

[diablo4love]

just remove that "Inom ett mörker sig slutar" prom previous post.

link to translation of original text by Carl Michael Bellman.

[diablo4love]

Note how our shadow, note Movitz mon frére, [how] it’s being enveloped by darkness. Inom ett mörker sig slutar How the gold and Tyrian cloth, in that shovel there are transformed into gravel and tatters. Charon waves from his roaring river and then, three times, the gravedigger himself never again will you squeeze your grape. Therefore, Movitz, come help me arch a gravestone over our sister. note this is only the translation upp to the part "Gravsten (gravvård) över vår syster"

@SuperScruffster Really? I'm a native english speaker, but started learning Swedish a few moths ago...I recognised some words they sang, and definitely sounds Swedish to me, though the pronounciation does need a bit of work.

[TheEnAheL]

Haha..it´s a beautyfull language..called SWEDISH..but the country are very close2Norway..&if U know swedish..U also can comunicate with a nighbour from Norway ;)..and understand a tiny bit Danish..YES..they are related..YES..they where all vikings..1uppon a time..long ago..BUT..the song IS in SWEDISH..

[Liljamoon]

This was very interesting. I'm from Sweden and like other's have said their pronouncication was off, but I still like that they've tried and they sing beautifully. :) Where are they from? (They sound English)

The song is written by Carl Michael Bellman who was a famous poet in Sweden in the 18th century. Many of his songs are still sung by choirs today. This was a slightly altered version.

In a way it's a bit wird that you only added pictures from Norway since he's Swedish, but they were nice

[1996youfdontknow]

Terrible pronounciation but still very, very beutiful song!!!

[whitesoftheireyes]

This is an amazing performance. Absolutely stunning.

[SuperScruffster]

ummm... The last post is the last part of the song haha
