Crusader Song (Old Norse) - Jórsalanám 

Hello, listeners! I hope you’ve enjoyed listening to some of my music. My songs so far are now available on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/artist/7E7QqSMsK1JCTOyJj6e8oY?si=Qs80gkfyTVq5YsFrXzvBwg 

(or just search for The Skaldic Bard) There will be plenty more to come so consider following me there! Cheers everyone :)

Jesus christ be praised

This is genuinely beautiful. It is a stark contrast of the music of the present mired in individualistic rantings and materialist narcissism produced by the liberal industry. This music is blessed by God, both in the socio-political sense, and in the spiritual of course.

Love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹❤️❤

One of my ancestors was a Norman petty lord, who settled down in southern Italy, who knows maybe he or his sons were with Tancred and Bohemond Hauteville... Beautiful Song as always

Beautiful song, I stumbled across this it by reading about the Normans and found it by coincidence and boy I don't regret it one bit. I'm a devout Maronite Catholic in Lebanon, near Antioch and Acre, near Jerusalem the heart of Christianity. We lost our ways, we're still standing after decades of strife within the country, one of the last christian strongholds in the Middle East. Deus Vult! 🙏

I was raised agnostic, so I never really thought about how badass the Crusades were. It gathered men from all over Europe, united under God. Totally foreign customs and languages, yet they fought together. Can you imagine the camaraderie? A bunch of guys from a thousand miles away show up at your doorstep. You've got a hard time exchanging words at the beginning, and there are a lot of details lost in translation. Yet you continue on with them, and you form a brotherhood with those around you. So, so different, but so alike in cause. Eventually, you lay siege to Jerusalem. And at that point, you have no doubt that the men you are with would die for you, and you for them. That might've been a little fanciful and uninformed, but I do hope I get my point across regardless. I've got a lot of reading to do. Thanks for putting your music out there. I'm really enjoying the immersion it offers and the hours of reading it inspires. Take care, man.

Excellent work brother, this brings honor to both our eternal Lord and the crusaders. Ave Christus Rex

it's cool how this song tells a whole history in it's 5 minutes

Wow. I love the Palastianlied, which speaks of the feelings of the Crusader. This song is a blow by blow account of the war. It's like something Sabaton might write, but in Norse. My ancestors went on Crusades under the Sinclair lairds of Caithness. Sinclairs were of Norse origin. I wonder if they still spoke it?

Very Interesting. This intersects two of my favorite historical topics.

СЛАВА ГОСПОДУ ИИСУСУ ХРИСТУ_!!! 👉➕➕➕➕➕➕ 👉👍👍

This is simply beautiful. If people from that time would hear that, they would be touched also I think. Thank you whoever wrote and sung this, you took me to heaven for few minutes

This is one of my favorite songs. Its meaning and melody are so profound and complete of faith, it gives strength and courage to continue fighting. Thank you very much for producing this song and all and every other ones you produce, Skaldic Bard! Respect from Brazil

All Glory be to God.

This is absolutely amazing! Your talent for both composing and singing is awe inspiring! Europe has sadly lost her ways in recent years, but I have full faith that she will recover and stand proudly under the banner of Christ once more. Thank you for the song, I look forward to what you will do in the future! God bless!

I hope Europe can invoke this feeling again

One of my favorite people from history is Sigurd Goes To Jerusalem.

För första gången såg jag den här författarens kanal om sådana ämnen och en partiskhet i en sådan andlig atmosfär, särskilt i den kristna. Jag önskar författaren lycka till och framgång i denna otroliga otroliga stora sak.

Father I pray that each and everyone in spiritual battle may see victory in Jesus name ! 🔥

Just beautiful ! Love this song. I feel something when I listen to it. Thank you for this song. +1 Subscriber

I love this kind of songs and war songs and my friends think that I love wierd music but I will not stop to listen to your songs or any other song thats simillar to this masterpiece. I listen to this song when I want to relax or to calm down from an event or anything like that. i want to say that you are an amaizing singer and the texts of your songs are just brilliant. Continue to make graet songs!

This is so different and beautiful. Thank you.

This is fucking amazing. May their sacrifices be not in vain

Yours is the only channel I've heard that captures the Skaldic essence. I commend you on your endeavors! *Lifts mead horn* "Skáld!"

God bless you, and may you continue to create more heavenly music!

You are so talented! Love 💖 your work so much

This is a new song, but it feels so nostalgic, like something I heard when I was little. It gives me peace, knowing that God is with us and gifted us with so many good things.

Brilliant! I loved this, what a lovely tribute.

I love this melody, keep doing this songs❤🔥

Beautiful work🔥🙌

Gran canción, Dios te bendiga y te Glorie por Sus caminos ✝🟥🟨🟥

No relegion can rival this buetful christan song🎸🕆

Hey, I found out about your amazing work roughly 6 months ago from this very song (published under another channel) and from there on my interest grew about these old Norse Christian songs I must give you a tremendous amount of applause for your dedication because since this first song, I've grown a massive hunger to study more on Germanic Languages (German itself being my favorite and I'm still currently studying) as I find them extremely fascinating in their distinctions and similarities but also as they're a living history of how the cultures developed. Keep doing the wonderful work sir, I' cant wait for the latest hit

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

Praise be to our lord and savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth ✝️ 👑

Ave Maria

Lovely song man

Thanks for this! ❤

My blood was present at the taking of Jerusalem, it helped save Vienna and was spilled upon the walls of Belgrade when it was first taken from the Ottomans.

That's beautiful sight- every language and tongue praising Lord Jesus. I hope that world will finally return to Lord✝️☦️

Beautiful.

Great song

Pure Beauty

This is your first song that I heard.

To Yahweh and Yeshua! I wish I had this when I was a teen instead of black metal. 😂❤

I feel connected to old norse but I speak english nor dont understand a lick of old norse yet it feels like home

Bro, keep doing this stuff! Im part danish-frisian mix along with other ethnic backgrounds. I feel connected by this type of stuff when its in old norse. I cheer you on!

When I'm 18, I promise I show this song to her 🖤

Bom dia irmãos do mundo, estamos juntos mais uma vez. O Brasil ouviu o chamado🙏

Epic song brother mine. Rev Dev

✝️DEUS VULT✝️

It's four years after the pope's call We all pledged our will to join We have taken the cross We ride now to Jerusalem Anatolia and Syria are doused in Christian blood Antioch is now in the hand of Christ We fare past Acre and Bethlehem Jerusalem awaits our spears! The city rises up from the horizon Crusaders, we march onward! Surround the walls Blockade the city gates! Raymond and the Franks occupy Mount Zion And Saint Stephen's gate Godfrey charges the gate of flowers Tancred marches toward Jerusalem. Now we do battle against the Saracen! The fallen fallen lie atop the hot sand It matters not whether we return We fight for the triumph of the cross. Many believed all hope was lost; The land was barren and provided no food In heavy armor at the height of summer The desert brings death. Iftikar, the governor of Jerusalem, calls For the Egyptian army and ships Thousands of men march in the south Men of faint heart began to flee. Bishop Adhemar appeared to Peter the priest in a dream He bade the warrior embark on a pilgrimage Up the Mount of Olives Barefoot, we all went. Cruel exchanges gave way to prayers The Christians reconciled with one another We then felt a zealous strength from heaven Onward, men of Christ, to the field of heaven! From the sea, to our aid, A host of English warriors has come Along with men of Genoa They bring stone and wood. Three days of fierce battle ensued From mount Zion and upon the northern wall A missile shower fell day and night, and our catapults Broke down their defenses. Then Godfrey and the Lothringians sprang Over the bridge of the gate of flowers In a stream of swords, they seized the keep And drove the Saracens from the city. Godfrey was chosen to be king, but He wouldn't claim Jesus' crown, He was thus named defender of the Holy Sepulcher. Now to defend the city from the Egyptians The Vizier Al-Afdal himself is marching Godfrey now marches to war With Robert of Flanders Ten thousand Crusaders Brandished, early in the morning, Their swords on the fields of Ascalon The enemy saw poorly in the dark. Then, the men of Christ charged them With bows and swords under the sign of the cross The Saracens were panic stricken And driven out of the land. We have fulfilled our sacred oath The bells chime once again Atop the holy sepulcher of our Good Lord All glory be to God. (It's so rare that there's a song this good, it sounds good, but it's also so edifying, and has a good bit of history in it too, excellent work!!)

Thank-you very much for sincere knights-historical-folk-legendary-music,play,sing too!!! Yes security yours dears Father-God!!

Though I may disagree with, and at sometimes, despise, Christianity, I personally believe that the crusaders were entirely right in the political situation. These crusaders were defending the rights of pilgrims who wanted to go to Jerusalem. They may have been brutal, but they were about as brutal as any nation would be during the medieval era. I remember hearing a story about how a crusader king literally transported ice to Saladin.

God bless you and your family abundantly

I’m so glad RU-vid decided to show me this. Your skills in composing, writing, singing, language, everything, are amazing! Please do keep up the good work! ǪLL DÝRĐ SÉ GUĐI

Amazing music! I have actually considered doing this very thing! I've always been interested in Norse and music, and I play the cello and mandola. Where did you start your musical career?

Hello! Me again. First of all, gotta say I LOOOOVE your work,and I never miss your songs. Sorry I have a ton of questions, but I'm studying Old Norse (your songs are helping a lot, especially with vocabulary, btw) and I'm wondering why you used "kváðumsk allir fylgja vilja". Is the verb mediopassive? Reflexive, like "we said to ourselves", or "to each other"? The -sk ending is still something quite elusive to me, lol. I'd appreciate a lot if you could help me with this thing that's killing me, lol.

i'm a norse pagan, and swede. im proud of the history we have spanning back through the viking age and further still. i'm not sure if this is how old norse actually sounded like but if it is, it sounds beautiful. it's just so very beautifully sung, i love it

We have not forgotten the history of Catholic warriors. The infiltrators within the Church also want to put an end to this. Let us pray to God, so that we can reach Heavenly Jerusalem too (this image in the video reminds us a lot of this).

Really cool! The only slight nitpick is the v-sound. I know the v-sound in old Norse is a bit of a "mix" between 'v' and 'w', but it's so cool to see someone make a Christian old Norse song! Glory to God and bless you, sir!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

European Reconquista.

In hoc signo vinces

I have just learned how to play it on guitar, whats the tunning of your lute?

Is beautiful, can I do an answer? Can you do an latin version of this song? I would really like 🥺

Wonderful song! Do you have the chords/tabs/notes somewhere?

All Glory to the Lamb who was slain reviled by the world raised up for our transgressions.

vakker norsk sang.

Viva a Santa Igreja Católica

(Some random norsemen go to the gathering point for the crusade) (Everyone else nods without any understeanding and they all trave together thousands of kilometers to lay siege to Jerusalem)

The Norwegian Crusade be like:

It’s an interesting fact that pure Northmen have better night vision than most other races and European sub races, giving them a critical advantage in night battles.

Vivat vivat dear Pr.Saint Maria,Everybody Pr.Saints on spiritual-on lighing-blue-heavens on long long and on long in very very big spiritual-security times!!!! Amin.

I really like this song but one thing that bugs me is the lyrics sound more like a history lesson on the First Crusade rather than an authentic crusader describing the battle or his thoughts going into battle. The narrator is practically omniscient, knowing the dreams of a bishop and the names of Frankish leader while being able to distinguish them from the Genoese, Lotharingians, and the English. I don't know Old Norse, but the English lyrics often switch back and forth between the past and present tense, sweeping broadly between several days and weeks of events. The song sounds great, but as I read the translation to the lyrics, my satisfaction dwindles. I'm glad others can enjoy it even more than me.

Would this not have been the Old Icelandic of the 11th-12th centuries?

Isn't this about A Norse warrior that joins the crusades

Hmm, needs more alliteration. 9/10

There are some Catholic doctrines that don't align with the truth and logical principles that Christianity has, but I like their drive to having faith. Learn the difference between them and compare them to the sense of reality and common sense. I think Catholics have faith, but are less informed from scripture that says otherwise. This isn't to disrespect. If you learn the truth that exceeds Catholicism doctrines then why not be Christian? You worship God so wouldn't you want to do better?
