Garmarna - Herr Holger

Great imagination and allegory on this video, based on an old Swedish folk song about Master Holger, a corrupted tax official. The king unveils the fraud and beheads Master Holger. His ghost returns to his wife and pleads her to return the snatched properties to their lawful owners. But his wife Tala prefers a wealthy life from a beggar 's one and ending in Heaven. Just in our days. It 's not the people, it 's just the means they change through times.

Schönes Video. Und ich verstehe schon einige Wörter =)

Es kursiert viel zu wenig Schwedische Musik, finde ich.

@YoruTsuyu Thanks a lot..Strange lyrics

[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

[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 : 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 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

[Ertunga]
