Tekst/Lyrics:
Höyrer Harald Sigurdsson, dei draumtegn frå
brodir Olav Matkhugen må du dölje no, ille det
deg gange, Höyr no ikkje på Toste Jarl, der han
eggjar til englands å fare, Tord han hadde ein underleg draum,
og ilt tyda draumine mange.
På våren i ett tusen sekstiseks ei ferd vart förebudde,
Maktglad konge i noreg rådde, og leidang baud
ive landet. Eit hundre og fem og nitti skip,
til Orknöy-jarlen dei sigla vest, og Torfinn Jarl sine
söner lest eit hundre fleire langskip.
Kom dei fram til Jordvik by då fyste slaget
gnydde. Jarlen Muru-Kåre fall og Valtjov Jarl han
flydde. Harald og Toste fram dei for, men Valtjov
Jarl han til dei svor, dei riddara av kongens bord
de möter med Stanford brua.
Harald og Toste neste dag dei brynjelause gange,
då langt der ute soli blenkte i hjelm og brynjer mange.
Englandskongen visst det er, eg kjenner Thingmannalid
sine klär, nordmannahären rådvill er, dei stanna ved
Stanford brua.
Kom dei på det råd at dei let alle saman fylke.
Medan Styrkår rei til skipi ned det snöggaste han
kunne. Men for å vinna tid om senn, så bad dei
Tjodolv sterke enn at han må stansa kongens menn
der ute på Stanford brua
Og lenge heldt han Tjodolv stand mot
Angelsaksarkongen, men undantil med spjot dei stakk,
så var dei over komne. Då andre slaget i ofse rann,
medan Öystein og Styrkår og alle mann frå skipi dei
sprang for å nå fram i tide til Stanford brua.
Harald fram for fylkingen gjekk og hogg til både kantar,
då flaug ei grågasfjörkledd pil vart nordmannkongens
bane. Då Öystein og Styrkår dei kom fram, fullt kleddt
i brynjer alle mann ov slit og sprang knapt sloss dei
i bakken ved Stanford brua.
Då tredje slaget toko til, vart kalla Orreira og mannefalli
store vart men nordmenn måtte flya. Så gjekk det til at
Vilhjalms menn fra Frankariket makti vann og
norrönalltingretten fall ut der ved Stanford brua.
Hákon Sigurðsson which language is it in? Is it old Norse?
It's in Norwegian
thank you!
Norwegian written with swedish ø`s though
It's an older type of Norwegian. Young Norwegians today have a little trouble understanding it, although I guess it's easier for the people on the west coast. The language style is comparable to 14th century Middle-English. It's far from Old Norse, though.
I listen to this regularly.. it's beautiful remembering how we still walk the fields, heard our sheep and cattle in the same cultural landscape as the Norse ancestors prepared for us, here in Scandinavia. I don't worship the old god's, but one cannot doubt that we still feel the ancestral presents here in Norway. We see the same mountains and sail the same fjords. They knew we would talk of them for thousands of years, and boy where they right. We are thankful to the old ones, Skål! From Norway
Never forget our past.
Isn't this music Christian though?
@@ryanrodriguez7911 for real, this is a Christian music, but hey it sounds good
@@mrvegetables2934 I know... I love it!
Based and Old Onespilled
This is literally the best song I have ever heard.
+Charles Johnson same here . Great Song sang about Great men
@@fatguyslim Yes the Anglo-Saxons. Lol
Cameron Dalton stfu bro! Its Scandinavians bot fuckin anglo instrument boi!😂
This song is, without doubt, enchanting... as soon as this ends I listen to Eirik jarl 😁
5 years later it still is my friend, skål 🍻
I hope this never gets deleted because it’s my absolute favorite sound. Harold Foss is very wonderful and there is none other like him.
download it 😂
There's something eternal and extremely human about this song. I'll always keep coming back to Harald Fosses Version of it. Tbh you're probably one of the best Upload Channels on UA-cam in my opinion.
Yes, the Stamford Bridge where the Viking berserker was holding the entire saxon army at the bridge while cutting every one down with his mighty ax. We dont know his name but stll we remember him. He is the badass of the millenium
Ah yes, the song tells of only one man holding of the army at the bridge. his name was Tjodolv the strong acording the song. another cool thing is that the .Bayeux Tapestry shows the Norwegian king being slain by an arrow and that is also told in this song:)
svartsot Tjodolv
Ops, my bad bayeux shows the battle of hastings. but the kings death was the same .
viking propaganda they had their top man with all his bazurkas but they got their arse well and truly whooped by the great king harold godwinson anglo saxons kicked viking arse end of
Darrell Haywood Yeah but remember that Viking forces had their army divided when the saxons attacked.Otherwise the Vikings would have won that day.
Kevin Dura In an other way because of this battle the saxon'king was surprised by the norman's invasion. Some of his troops were dead, he had not lot of time to go backward to face this new invasion. Maybe it's key to understand the victory of Hastings by Guillaume the conquerer.
After all this duc from normandy came from viking ancestors ;)
Thank you everyone! Its quit overwehelming to see so many foreigners who loves our Scandinavian history, culture and blood. I just come to here sometimes just to not forget.
Where can these songs be purchased? I want to download them legally and put them onto my MP3 Player but I haven't had any luck finding them for sale anywhere. I know that there are ways to rip youtube vids to MP3 files but it's not a great option.
il ne faut surtout pas les oublier
How can this masterpiece not be on spotify?
Day by day I love more and more Norway due to the music,culture and wonderful places. I hope to visit it before I die.
I love this guy's voice!
The lone Viking on the bridge though? Stolt av å ha norsk blod!
One of my favorite songs.
my dear friend showed me this song. i miss him, so much. farewell, comrade.
Rest in peace Tjostolv Strong-One and Harald Hardrada old hero's of Norway.
Great voice. This kind of music brings me so much joy. I love ballads.
This is such a beautiful song.
Lovely tune, bearing the spirit of the north. Also, great illustrations, adequately chosen for the atmosphere (and not put together haphazardly from many different styles as often happens in other videos).
Greetings from Germany's North, from the Saxon homelands ;)
Enjoy your trolling, son.
Komm aus Schleswig bin ein Anglo Sachse
German "saxons" hahaha. Germans are barely white, I was shocked when visiting the country (and I'm not speaking of the immigrants).
@@Almansur8 lol what
This is one of my favorites of his. The tune is haunting and epic. 5 stars
For those wondering, both Saxon and Norse sources talk about the lone berserker on the bridge, so of out of all the myths and stories history has given us, its probably one of the most likely to be true.
English history textbooks have never mentioned that Harald Hardråde was far more influential in his time than Harold Godwinsson. Harald Hardråde had made a name for himself as a high-ranking Byzantine military commander who had campaigned widely in the Mediterranean and also become phenomenally rich, while Harold was a member of a difficult, fractious family of English nobles with little influence outside of England, until the time of his unsuccessful mission to Flanders (1064) which led to his capture in Ponthieu and captivity in Normandy.
irateofwatford was that a reference to the Norse body guard of the Byzantine emperor?
Godwinsson may have been less influential that Hardråde, but not by much. His father Godwin Earl of Wessex accompanied Cnut on an expedition to Denmark between 1019 and 1023, where he distinguished himself. Godwin's support for Cnut was the reason Cnut was able to keep power in England. before Godwin's death he had influence all across the North Sea Empire.
His mother Gytha Thorkelsdóttir was the daughter of Danish chieftain Thorgil Sprakling (also called Thorkel). Her brother Ulf was married to Estrid Svendsdatter, the daughter of King Sweyn Forkbeard and sister of King Cnut the Great of England and Denmark.
Harold Godwinson and his brother (Sweyn Godwinson, Earl of Herefordshire, Tostig Godwinson Earl of Northumbria, Gyrth Godwinson Earl of East Anglia, Leofwine Godwinson Earl of Kent) were one of the most influential family's of the day.
Harold Godwinsson's mother was Danish, so he was half-viking himself!
@@johnnyhall7065 Much of the English nobility from the northern parts of England, like Harold's own house, were. Living under varying degrees of Danish rule for a few generations will do that to ya
So? He lost.
Proud to be Swedish!
as you should be! im very proud of being a shetlander i wish to visit sweden one day.
Modern Anglo-Saxons should feel nothing but respect for our Norwegian brothers, once enemies, we will be united as northern brothers.
We are not so different now compared to our enemies.
Majority of brits have viking dna, most people don't know vikings didnt just raid they settled and stayed all across northern England.
U ppl rly wana be Vikings huh,
@@edwardbackman744 I know, it's pretty pathetic.
The tribe of the Angles came from southern Denmark. They ended up settling the East and northern parts of England. The Saxons settled in the southern half of England and came from further south in Germany. Not to mention the Danelaw settlements in Yorkshire. Northern English people aren't far off from Norse folk.
One thing that really struck me about this beautiful song is the tune it is sung to. It's almost idetical to a tune known in my Homeland of Newfoundland as 'Lukey's Boat'. Interesting how the norse influenced our culture despite thousands of years since the abandonment of their settlement here.
I was curious about the tunes origin because I also recognized it but not language. I'll have to check that one out also. But I'm not from Newfoundland, I spent my childhood in the northeast US.
Greetings from Flanders, Flemish mercenaries fought loyal to Tostig Godwinson till the death with their Norwegian brothers on the fields of Stanford Bridge.
Evil weaklings. Ganging up to take what isnt yours and losing badly. Haha 😂
Hilsner til mine norske brødre og stor respekt til de norske soldater der døde under slaget ved Stanford bro. Skål!
Skål til Harald Hardråde, en ekte Norsk konge :)
Witzel99 skål!
Skål!
Vi britiske menn har masse respekt for dere ;-) modige soldater på begge sider - uvenner en gang men frender for alltid! Cheers og skål!

I know Stein Villa and Lasse Stang who are playing instruments and singing on this CD!
I don't know the last guy though, but I usually meet Stein Villa and Lasse Stang a couple of times per month. We're building instruments at the same workshop ;)
Tack
Incredibile cosa la musica riesca a suscitare nelle persone: ho letteralmente le farfalle nello stomaco. Canzone stupenda
Just channeled Harold Godwinson and played him this, his response 'invade shit, get banged'.
Love it! I dont care about the lyrics, the pure sound is awesome! ;)
Lovely introduction.
Tusen Takk torhjelm for teksten og Vikingskog for videoen selvsagt :)
Greetings from the other side of the sea from Fryslân.
Being Frysk, Norsk sounds really familiar to listen to, but understanding it is more difficult.
Dutch also sounds familiar to Norwegians. Its like our languages were the same but got distorted through some type of filter.
Guy from the 80's Det syns ikke jeg.
Ło matko :) Poraziło mnie to pozytywnie...
J'adore...
Fin sang!
Jeg er engelsk, men jeg skulle ønske Harald vikinges konge hadde vunnet!
Hva en skatt! Tusen takk Vikingskog!
Hey man, can you please tell the source of image at 1:17? Thanks for uploading this.
Legende. In Romanian we have the same word, legende, which is our plural for legend. What is interesting, in Romania we don't have songs for specific battles moments and also we don't have folk/popular songs in memoriam of our heroes. Some mirrors are good.
que hermosa canción
Hail to the all father
Please ...
DoDDz1lla Hail to the blessing from the Thundergod.
How I miss those days
Everyone who fought there were Christians... The only reason I don't say "Catholic" is because some might have been Orthodox.
***** That too. But my main point is that when Olav Den Hellige (who Christianised Norway) converted to Christianity he was actually in Novgorod (Kiev) so there's a big chance that he was brought into the Eastern Chruch and not the Catholic.
Why just now did I just now learn of this beautiful channel? This is so wonderful to listen to. TYVM
Good song.
Are there notes or chords for guitar for this song? Thanks
one such chainmail was found near haitabu - it was mentioned in a documentation but i cant recall which one - they made one like the one found and tested it in a military lab together with 2 other chainmailtypes of that time (but different origin - one used by the normans and one by the english) the vikingmail was the best by far - they had used one flat ring and one round ring in the mail while the others consisted of either only flat or only round rings. all had the same "system" of 4 in 1
Heimen min 🇧🇻🙋♂️
Yo yo who removed this from Spotify?
Кросивое.... Варяжное....
We should have this played in ALL DENTIST OFFICES IN NORWAY!!! I told my Dentist in League City.
This reminds me of "Johny, I hardly knew ya".
Where can this music be purchased?
I can't find it thus far.
That is the "Blood of the Vikings" documentary found here on UA-cam. They were testing actually a replica of the only intact set of Viking Age mail, found at Gjermundbu, Norway. This combination of flat solid rings and round riveted rings was used since Roman times and is not exclusive to the Norse The only other common type is all-riveted.. If you review the documentary again, you will see that they don't associate the other mail types with Normans or English.
Amazing song, Harald Hårdråde is my ancestor on my grandmothers side (She is from Bohuslän) She is from the Dano-Norwegian noble house of Måneskiöld (Moonshield) which has connections to both Harald Hårfager and Hårdråde (along with other scandinavian kings/noblemen like Saint Eric and Birger Jarl of Sweden). Länge leve Harald Hårdråde! :D
bs
Vakkert sang. Jeg liker dinne tonleik
what are the instruments in this song? i would really appreciate it if someone helps me!
Agreed
Strangely reminds me of "Oh Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye"/"When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
Could this be a remnant of Irish-scandanavian cultural exchange?
Solidarity to my Northern European brothers from the USA! Keep up the good fight!
If Heimskringla is to be taken at face value, much of the Norse force was without their mail shirts since they had to run a great distance from their ships to reinforce Stamford bridge. This is the legendary explanation for their eventual defeat there. There is nothing to suggest that the Vikings had better armor or weapons than anyone else at the time. If anything, soldiers of large empires like the Franks or Byzantines were the best equipped in Europe.
Where did you get the pictures from ? Great music and thanks for posting! Greetings from Romania.
What instrument is the flute sound in the beginning.
i love this so much. where did you get the pics?
Christian krohg 1899
Wonderful. Sounds similar to English sailor’s ballads.
What type of flute is that in the beginning?
What is the title of the picture at 0:20?
Stamford bridge, literally one man army
true, gandalfr! true
where can I find these beautiful pictures?
Sensacional
beste sangen
Where can I find the lyrics?
Where can I download this
Can you tell me who the artist is who is singing and the group perhaps?
@fiscornioman u mean like that marine who ran in with one other and singlehandedly saved like 30 guys or something, only one guy died.
Again, what is your source? What is this special method for making mail? Give me one source, please.
Might I ask where all the artwork for these videos are from? :)
Alot of it appears to come from Snorre Sturlason's Heimskringla,- 'S a book.
I noticed soon after I posted that question that he said it on a different video.. thanks tho :)
I tillegg til varme og lodne nasjonalistiske følelser gir denne sangen meg kunnskap om opprinnelsen til og betydningen av ordet fylke. Som nordmenn flest kjenner jeg ordet fylke som en administrativ mellomting mellom stat og kommune, men lite visste jeg om ordets krigerske opprinnelse.
Dæven steike, begrepet fylking ga meg plutselig et helt nytt perspektiv på det å være norsk.
Les Heimskringla/Snorres kongesagaer på nynorsk så lærer du mange slike begrep :)
I really love this music
but don't know the language.😃👍
Same thing
Norwegian :)
I am Greek and i speak German too. I think i should learn some Norwegian As well..
What kind of harp is that?
What set Viking Chain-mail (Brynje) construction (as is supported by some surviving archeological finds) apart from Other peoples and times chain-mail construction: is the fusion/welding of each link. This is by far the most robust of links. Do some real research fellas, without approaching with preconceived agendas.
