Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
Some Anglo Saxon soldier: what is that I see on the horizon? Danish Vikings in a longboat: så for satan knejter, nu står den sgu på engelsk bøf og fisse.
Look up where this song originated. It's fun I promise. A 7 year old by who was living in iceland wrote a poem the translation is off. But the 7 year old killed a 10 year old boy . Everyone shamed him for doing so. His father was extra harsh. The boys mother told the boy he is gonna be a great viking. The boy went and wrote a poem about what his mother told him.
I am mostly Norwegian, My grandfather on my dad's side was 100% we are the Bergans (changed the E to an A when the immigrated to the states) from none other then Bergen Norway!
As a dane, i listened to this in my car on full speaker and sang at the top of my lungs, i could feel my soul light like a wild fire and this Orchestral version hits just the right spot in my soul! can't thank you enough for making this! , i swear all these amazing tracks both my mother told me, Wardruna & Danheim & Heilung is just pure soul music for me. and you know what! I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS!
I was taught this song when I was a kid, as I have Icelandic relatives - and to help me learn Icelandic during vacations etc., I got to learn this and a few other songs.
@@hannahnelson8441 It's maybe not common knowledge here in Sweden, but easy enough to come by. My son is named Egil, which is not a common name in Sweden - but very much so in Norway, Iceland and Denmark. We've been to Borganes and supposedly met relative of Skallagrim all randomly, which was pretty fun. 😎
@@hannahnelson8441 check this song out too, it's with lyrics. Also a classic to sing when learning icelandic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NTKtmQQaJYE.html
My husband is icelandic born in the USA. Its a rich culture! Only know English it's been hard to find the sagas looking in English. Working on learning icelandic. But I kept hearing this song and it just got stuck in my head for weeks. And had too look up where it came from. It's amazing how much the that they valued art history to make sure the stores where passed down to generations. American culture isn't like that. And most of our history is based on lies. Most people don't know their family tree. I remember asking my grandparents and they always said we are American that was the end of the conversation. I've enjoyed learning and love how much my extended family ( husband's side) is so willing and loves to talk and explain the culture.
"My Father told me, Some day I will die, Fighting for new lands, With blood covered hands. Let out my war cry, Show I have no fear, Valhallas course to the haven, Will wait for no man, Will wait for no man." - Unknown
You see an open field, wounded men and women alike scattered across the burning and bloodied landscape. You see minor fights between your brother, sisters (vikings) and the European warriors. But your main focus was the fight between your chief and the European lord. Axe and blade clashing, ringing out as sparks flew lighting the dead grass around them. Bloodied and broken, your chief seems to wilt and fall. You hear a scream of anguish, turning around to see who it was, but.. it came from you. As you turn back to the fight, the lord had set his sight on you and through the flaming grass stalls towards you. You ready your axes and charge the towering lord even though he was a foot taller. You strike at his arms trying to disarm him but he simply backhands you with his gauntlet sending you sprawling. The lord walks up to you, you try to get up but he steps on your chest, stopping you from moving. You try to get him off but he simply raises his greatsword over your face. You hold your axe tightly in your hand as you continue to try to treat his foot of your chest. Though, if anything, you'll be in Valhalla. You prepare for the final strike, but.. then you hear it. The song of your people. The chief stands on his two feet with his face towards the sky as he begins to chant the song soon, more and more voices meld with his. A darkly hopeful melody rang out throughout the battlefield. The lord turns angrily, screaming at the chief for not dying properly as he charges him. The chief grins as he finishes the chant, ducking under the lord's desperate swing to cut his head off. Then your chief swings his razor sharp axe up, cutting off the lord's arm causing him to scream in pain. The lord kneeled onto the blackened ground clutching his bloodied stump, as your chief then sings the last line of the song, before taking the lord's head. The battle, was over
For some reason, this completely resonates with me. I'm starting to wonder what my previous lives were like. I sing this at full power after listening twice
“My mother told me, someday I will buy, galley with good oars, sail to distant shores, stand up on the prowl, noble borke I steer, steady course to the haven, hue many foe men, hue many foe men”
“My father told me Someday I will die Fighting for new lands With blood covered hands Let out my war cry Show I have no fear Valhalla’s door to haven Will wait for no man”
Lyrics:"My Mother told me some, day I will buy, galley with good oars, sail to distant shores, stand up on the prowl, noble Borke I steer, steady course to the haven, hue many foe men, hue many foe men
My mother told me someday I will buy, Galley with good oars, Sail to distant shores, Stand up on the prow, Noble barque I steer, Steady course the haven, Hew many foe-men, Hew many foe-men.
I love this song so much and I am not even Scandinavian or European M from India but whenever I hear this song I feel a strong connection with the vikings
I don't think it's the vikings you connect to. But I think it's the primal instinct of men to grab an axe and charge into battle. You hear this and you don't want to be on the receiving end lol
my beard has grown from a scraggy patch to a blanket with my mustache growing to a glorious majesty after repeated months of this song ty now if only i had a 10 hour version
Fun fact: this song was originally a poem by a young boy who killed a kid in his village during a fight. His mother then told him one day he'd be a great viking. There's probably more to the story that I'm forgetting because it's been so long since I did my research but that's basically it
@@sonofbatman5233 Lol there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lol they do call to me, they bid me take my place amongst them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.
so, this seems to be doing well, suggest some other Viking chants or sea shanties you want orchestral versions of! (edit 25/10/2022) after a year of silence, I have decided to upload MORE orchestral sea shanties and Viking songs!! SUBSCRIBE FOR ODIN 🌩
My mother told me Someday I will buy Galley with good oars Sail to distant shores Stand up on the prow Noble barque I steer Steady course to the haven Hew many foe-men My mother told me Someday I ill buy Galley with good oars Sail to distant shores Stand up on the prow Noble barque I steer Steady course to the haven Hew many foe-men My mother told me Someday I will buy Galley with good oars Sail to distant shores Stand up on the prow Noble barque I steer Steady course to the haven Hew many foe-men
I wish I knew about this song when I was in Middle School. I would've yelled out "ODIN IS WITH US BROTHERS" and "TWENTY LASHINGS FOR ANY WHO LEAVE THIS BATTLE WITHOUT ANY BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS" along with chanting this song as loud as possible.
Thank you thank you so much for this.Tho I'm in tears and can hardly catch my breath, know, dear brother, it is because this resonates with a lost part of my soul. Your voice is so amazing! Plz continue to share this beauty with us.. I can't thank you enough. Be Well! Stay Safe! Much Love
I have little viking in my family tree along with many other things but this just makes me miss the old glory days were traveling to new lands and contouring it was the greatest thing u could do
@@PandoraSparkles it is okay I'm just waiting till I can get enough money to pay for internet and just then Maybe I'll be able to experience the online gaming
With great power....Like geneticists; too focused on whether they CAN, that they never think about whether or not they SHOULD, or, what the DOWNSIDE might be. HERESY!!
[hears music and is suddenly transferred to Norseman warrior's body] [proceeds to scream at enemies before him and charge] "ODIN OWNS YOU ALL!!!! WITNESS MY DEEDS ALLFATHER!! I SHALL MAKE YOU PROUD!!!!" [makes Allfather proud]
@@axswiftxberserker3016 if the ALLFATHER deems us worthy I shall see you there brother! Until then, fight as though your ancestors are watching!! SKOLL
Alright, so this just became my perfect go-to OST for when I'm running RPG session on High Seas and my players ship approaches naval battle. Seriously, the sheer epicness contained here is off the charts. Thanks mate!

THis is great! I loved it so much that I sung it at the top of my lungs during the night shift at home. My neighbours loved it also, as they started banding the walls to the rythm!
