"Sigmundsvísa" - Faroese Traditional Song 

The Faroese language is interesting in the way that it can take Danish or Norwegian and pronounce and conjugate it like Faroese, while it still making sense to the Faroese people themselves. That's why the Norwegian is pronounced incorrectly here; it's basically pronounced as if it was Faroese. No one is even trying to make it sound like it's real Norwegian. We do the same with Danish all the time when speaking with other Faroese people. We call it "gøtudanskt" (street Danish), which is just Danish words spoken and conjugated like it's Faroese. :)

All Viking sagas are unique, taking a song and turning it into a long story. Great job!

It was recorded in sumba sometime in 1959 Edvard jacobsen is the lead ballad singer

Sounds like something the Norse would sing at a tavern.

Nordic tales are among the best in the world.

Hey they mentioned ingen :D

Tack så mycket ingen! Det är väldigt intressant att få lyssna på gamla folksagor om en längesedan svunnen tid. Hoppas du fortsätter!

I was just listening to the other saga of Sigmund and you keep on feeding us the Norse songs we need! :0

You can learn a lot from a people by their legends and stories they hold dear, and what lessons they draw from them.

Am i the only one that got a bit sentimental when a tale of revenge and death turned to one about frendship?

Tusen takk det er fantastisk, tack så mycket det är fantastisk

There is a mistake. Holmegård means Novogrod not 'the danish Isles of Holme'

Sounds very traditional greek in melody and timbre of choir.

The Islands only have more than 1.300 km² and 50.000 people but have the most patriotic songs and longest ones.

There is a mistake. Holmegård is Novgorod

Yule is upon us!

My friends keep asking me why I listen to this stuff and I just say that Grani carried the gold from the moorland.

They really got great lung capacity.

Ahh yes, another song that sound like it was sung in the tuft house

Why not rebrand to just Nordic songs? They're the best ones by FAR!

the history of the nordics is just too rich...

How good, Faroes

Please do one with Virgars Kvaedi

Is this Bokmal or Nynorsk?

Ðet dær høres ut sðm at de pð færøyene prøver ð snakke norsk

Faroe Islands is a best country for living.

I was getting worried

A nice bedtime story

i kamp var i n g e n

Føle alle sanga derfra enkeli bare æ norske sang

Shouldn't "Holmesgård" be translated as Novgorod?

As you all listening are probably aware of, this is infact not Faroese. It is Norwegian. The reason that the faroese use some danish and norse folksongs as “Faroese” folksongs, is because Norway has owned the Faroe Islands and Denmark now owns the Faroe Islands. Just thought it was important to note since there are probably people that didn't know this.

Do anyone know where and when this song was written?

Is Faroe Island 🏝 in nordic countries ?🐋

Genjer genjer pls

Me when no Granni :(

Nordic Norwegian Danish Faroe Islands, that's all
