Egil Saga lyrics in old Norse and translated to English~ -Old Norse~ hefir hon haft langan vanmátt, ok þat var kröm mikil. Fekk hon enga nótt svefn ok var sem hamstoli væri. Ristnar hafa verit rúnar, ok er sá einn bóndason heðan skammt í brott, er þat gerði, ok er síðan miklu verr en áðr. Skalat maðr rúnar rísta, nema ráða vel kunni. Þat verðr mörgum manni, es of myrkvan staf villisk. Sák á telgðu talkni tíu launstafi ristna. Þat hefr lauka lindi langs ofrtrega fengit. Egill reist rúnar ok lagði undir hægendit í hvíluna, þar er hon hvíldi. Henni þótti sem hon vaknaði ór svefni ok sagði, at hon var þá heil, Skalat maðr rúnar rísta, nema ráða vel kunni. Þat verðr mörgum manni, es of myrkvan staf villisk. Sák á telgðu talkni tíu launstafi ristna. Þat hefr lauka lindi langs ofrtrega fengit. -English Translation She has been ill for a long time, she has the exhaustion, cannot sleep any night and was as if she had lost reason and shape. Runes have been scratched therefore, it is a farmer’s son, not far from here, he has done that, but afterwards it was much worse than before. No man shall scratch runes Not being able to use them well; Many a man is misled by dark forces. Ten secret runes have I seen Scratched on smoothed out fish bone; For the girl this has caused sorrow for a long time. Egil scratched runes and placed them under the cushion of the bed she rested on. It was to her as if she had awoken from sleep, and she said she was well now. No man shall scratch runes Not being able to use them well; Many a man is misled by dark forces. Ten secret runes have I seen Scratched on smoothed out fish bone; For the girl this has caused sorrow for a long time.

That is true but for me it sounds like the language of the Celts which takes me off into a past time of magic..........................what i mean is if i know what they are saying it would modernise everything and the mystery would be lost.
Kencka fk Not exactly, its my impression of imagination in this case that would be shattered.........................having said that i do believe that learning as many languages and studying as many religions as possible will help any man or woman rise to the heights of wisdom.
This is Iceland language and it is an old song...1000 years old Saga .. I love to dance to this Sound on Medival Fairy´s and the Band play´s music in Geman, Turkish, Spain and other languages to... it is magical :-) love it
Das ging mir mit anderen Formationen auch so. Schade, daß FAUN zersplittert ist und nicht mehr gibt. War absolut top für Augen und Ohren gleichermaßen . .
I love the old school electronic sounds mixed in that you just wouldn't expect in a folk song - it almost sounds like a Norse version of E.S. Posthumus, pure genius if you ask me
I have no idea what is being said but when I first heard this song was when my dad was dying. It made me feel a strange sense of peace and for that I thank Faun for creating such a beautiful song :)
I love the chorus of this, when the two are singing together. Don't suppose anyone can get a translation to English of this? Skalat maðr rúnar rísta, nema ráða vel kunni, þat verðr mörgum manni, es of myrkvan staf villisk; Sák á telgðu talkni tíu launstafi ristna, þat hefr lauka lindi langs ofrtrega fengit.

Translation UA-cam gave me to your comment- A man shall run up and down, unless you know how to handle it, it will happen to many people, es of myrkvan staf villisk; A case of counting talc ten letters carved, it has onion springs langs oftrega fengit Don't know which is more accurate but the UA-cam translation seems to have left a few lines completely untranslated.

only 1,081,952? seriously?????????? this is one of the hottest things i've ever seen. i'm american, i don't understand the language but i love the feeling... you are everything darlings!!!!
Das ist schöne Musik da kann mann so richtig mal alles so um einen rum Vergessen und einfach mal so schön zuhören das ist meine Musik ich liebe es die Fauen habe ich neu für mich entdeckt Mfg
Wunderschöne Musik bringt einen zum träumen. ^^ Wonderful music brings one to dream. ^^ Macht bitte mit eurer Musik so weiter. ;) Continues please with your music thus. ;)
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt ganz froh darüber das sie so kommerziell geworden sind und es Werbung dazu im TV gibt. Kannte Sie vorher nämlich nicht, obwohl ich schon immer so in die Richtung Metal/Folk/Mittelalter gehe. Da mir das Lied aus der Werbung ganz gut gefallen hat, hab ich mich dann natürlich auch auf die Suche nach weiteren Liedern gemacht und bin so dann eben auch auf die ganzen alten gestoßen :)
Absolutely brilliant. Top video, top song. I need to read more about the history of celtic culture, folklore and music ;-) But no seriously, Faun are good, seen them live twice and always have time for them.
@StueyLestrange egils saga is an epic Icelandic saga. The oldest transcript (a fragment) dates back to 1240 AD. The saga is centered on the life of Egill Skallagrímsson, an Icelandic farmer, viking, and skald.
Faun is German band. Lyrics of this song are in icelandic/old norse (based on translator use and information on website linked down, more probably Icelandic rather than Norse) Edit: found whole original text with english translation: wikisaga.hi.is/index.php?title=Egla,_74
The moral of the story of this song, is supposed to be that when someone writes something that hurts you, writing something in addition is not good enough to heal. What was written wrong must first be erased, and then the new writ wrote.
Wenn ich sowas lese wie "und dann auch noch Werbung auf ProsSieben" dann kommen MIR die Tränen.... Das ist doch das BESTE was einem Künstler passieren kann: Werbung für einen möglichst Größten Kreis. Ich finde Menschen, die sowas als "Markel sehen" einfach nur bedauernswert, denn es zeigt, dass sie der Band nicht den Erfolg gönnen und einen Anspruch auf "Exclusivität" verlieren, nur weil der "Mainstream" jetzt auch auf sie aufmerksam geworden ist. DAS ist traurig, wenn jemand so denkt wie du!
One of the few songs that still helps me to feel the sense of "love" that I wish I could know on my own. The only problem, in my case, is the irony of the song...
Gosh, I miss this Faun.
Absolutely!
Me too
Same here
Still great band best song of faun but some others are amazing too ❤
Ik 😢❤ook
Egil Saga lyrics in old Norse and translated to English~
-Old Norse~
hefir hon haft langan vanmátt,
ok þat var kröm mikil.
Fekk hon enga nótt svefn ok var
sem hamstoli væri.
Ristnar hafa verit rúnar, ok er sá einn bóndason
heðan skammt í brott, er þat gerði,
ok er síðan miklu
verr en áðr.
Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,
nema ráða vel kunni.
Þat verðr mörgum manni,
es of myrkvan staf villisk.
Sák á telgðu talkni
tíu launstafi ristna.
Þat hefr lauka lindi
langs ofrtrega fengit.
Egill reist rúnar ok lagði undir hægendit
í hvíluna, þar er hon hvíldi.
Henni þótti sem hon vaknaði ór svefni ok sagði,
at hon var þá heil,
Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,
nema ráða vel kunni.
Þat verðr mörgum manni,
es of myrkvan staf villisk.
Sák á telgðu talkni
tíu launstafi ristna.
Þat hefr lauka lindi
langs ofrtrega fengit.

That's beautiful!!! ❤️
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Faun, i have discovered my passion for music again, the fact that i dont understand a word they are saying just adds to the magic.
Nothing stops you from learning a new language. (;
That is true but for me it sounds like the language of the Celts which takes me off into a past time of magic..........................what i mean is if i know what they are saying it would modernise everything and the mystery would be lost.

I see. One's impression of a language changes completely after learning it.
Kencka fk Not exactly, its my impression of imagination in this case that would be shattered.........................having said that i do believe that learning as many languages and studying as many religions as possible will help any man or woman rise to the heights of wisdom.
Phelan - thank You, this is a very good tipp
oh how i loved this faun... they sound so different today. Its sad...
This is Iceland language and it is an old song...1000 years old Saga .. I love to dance to this Sound on Medival Fairy´s and the Band play´s music in Geman, Turkish, Spain and other languages to... it is magical :-) love it
I im Moari and id like to see you dance at the fire to this....
Very beautiful song 🧝🏻♀️😻
Questo video è la canzone mi piacciono tantissimo, il mondo del mistero è sempre magico e attraente
This group is such a blessing. Such beauty is rare nowadays.
It's sadly now even rarer, 12 years afterwards.
Even Faun don't sound like Faun anymore. And no, I don't like bands who are "evolving musically" when I liked them ESPECIALLY for the music they play.
Lo escucho luego de unos 11 años y aun me causa las mismas sensaciones.
Before heilung we had Faun ❤️
Durch dieses Lied wurde ich erst auf Mittelaltermusik aufmerksam, und bin hängen geblieben. Top. 💪👍
Das ging mir mit anderen Formationen auch so. Schade, daß FAUN zersplittert ist und nicht mehr gibt.
War absolut top für Augen und Ohren gleichermaßen . .
I love the old school electronic sounds mixed in that you just wouldn't expect in a folk song - it almost sounds like a Norse version of E.S. Posthumus, pure genius if you ask me
I Love Faun!!!
I'm here in December 2021 🖤
Ich liebe diese Musik, so unendlich ehrlich und ergreifend.
Eins der schönsten Lieder.Da ich island liebe .So schön ❤
I have no idea what is being said but when I first heard this song was when my dad was dying. It made me feel a strange sense of peace and for that I thank Faun for creating such a beautiful song :)
Musik aus einer anderen Welt, wunderschön.
Anderen Welt? Auch wenn es isländisch ist ist es Deutschland näher als dieses Latein Zeugs
Sehr schön. 😁
FAun is the greatest group I ever heard!!! It touches my soul!!!
The first song i was hear from this wonderfull gruop of artist! The performance ITS amazing!! I love It!
I love the chorus of this, when the two are singing together. Don't suppose anyone can get a translation to English of this?
Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,
nema ráða vel kunni,
þat verðr mörgum manni,
es of myrkvan staf villisk;
Sák á telgðu talkni
tíu launstafi ristna,
þat hefr lauka lindi
langs ofrtrega fengit.
Translation I found-
No man shall scratch runes
Not being able to use them well;
Many a man is misled
by dark forces.
Ten secret runes have I seen
Scratched on smoothed out fish bone;
For the girl this has caused
sorrow for a long time.
Translation UA-cam gave me to your comment-
A man shall run up and down,
unless you know how to handle it,
it will happen to many people,
es of myrkvan staf villisk;
A case of counting talc
ten letters carved,
it has onion springs
langs oftrega fengit
Don't know which is more accurate but the UA-cam translation seems to have left a few lines completely untranslated. I don't think it was built to translate old Nordic languages.
it's old-islandic. beautiful song, beautiful atmosphere.
Whenever I feel a little down I watch this and get lifted up high.
Parabens alem de lindas cantam muito bem. voces tem as vozes maravilhosas. essa musica e de uma paz enorme.
2:26 é auge do orgasmo. Que delícia! 😍
I love this banda, one of my favorites!!! her music it's so beautiful!
What a wonderful mystic song!!!👍🌞💜
I dont speak Icelandic and i had to look up the lyrics to this song and it became my favorite song of all time. Makes me want to go learn it!!
I was a kid when I listen to this masterpiece for the first time.❤
I'm 26y now
This is my favourite "poem" fresh from Egils Saga with the best music ever. I don't want more.
I remember reading this a long time ago. I remember the book saying he killed his first person at 3 years old LoL
Yeah, he was a rather interesting figure for sure. He once vomited on someone. Yuck.
Absolut mega schön, traumhafte Stimme. I Love it ❤️
Weiter so und viel viel mehr davon 🤩🤗
This is my favorite song by faun. :"
Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2019 und ich war dabei, als der Song wieder live von dieser Band aufgeführt wurde
Génial : de la beauté et du mysticisme (au sens positif)
Enchantement germanique !
The harmony is amazing! My new favorite group!
man kann es unendlich anhören und anschauen und jedes mal kommt einem eine andere geschichte im kopf dazu....es ist so tiefgründig!
La musica, las voces... es que cada elemento hizo una excelente conjetura... Faun, tan multifonetico en su mismo genero! son realmente geniales!
J'adore cette chanson vraiment magnifique
What an atmosphere is created..so soulfully earthbound..love their music.. far down south from Namibia it suits our desert so perfectly
Beautiful, beautiful song. Glad I found this band
The woman singer with the blonde hair sort of makes me think of Miranda Otto/Eowyn from Lord of the Rings. :)
+Jakegothicsnake she looks like Diane Kruger
Her real name is Fiona Rüggeberg.
only 1,081,952? seriously?????????? this is one of the hottest things i've ever seen. i'm american, i don't understand the language but i love the feeling... you are everything darlings!!!!
I really like how the singer goes sharp and flat at times. It just gives the song a more human, humble and indigenous genuine feeling.
i don´t understand any word of this song but i love it. It´s best for relaxing and forget all the things arround me. :)
nice
Das ist schöne Musik da kann mann so richtig mal alles so um einen rum Vergessen und einfach mal so schön zuhören das ist meine Musik ich liebe es die Fauen habe ich neu für mich entdeckt Mfg
Still one of my favorites /|\
Wunderschöne Musik bringt einen zum träumen. ^^
Wonderful music brings one to dream. ^^
Macht bitte mit eurer Musik so weiter. ;)
Continues please with your music thus. ;)
Still the same beautiful song as I heard it long long time ago the first time 🖤
Du bzw ihr seid der hammer 🛠👍
I love this song, it's so beautiful!
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt ganz froh darüber das sie so kommerziell geworden sind und es Werbung dazu im TV gibt.

Da mir das Lied aus der Werbung ganz gut gefallen hat, hab ich mich dann natürlich auch auf die Suche nach weiteren Liedern gemacht und bin so dann eben auch auf die ganzen alten gestoßen :)
i've heard this song for years and always saught it while sad, i believe this is the first time i've crossed it while happy and content.
Beautiful!
Absolutely brilliant. Top video, top song. I need to read more about the history of celtic culture, folklore and music ;-) But no seriously, Faun are good, seen them live twice and always have time for them.
This is one of my favorite songs and groups I respect other cultures and national origins, thanks for uploading this video! :)
Greeting from Latvia!
one of my absolute favorite songs
Das Lied von Faun ,,Königin '' ist mein Lieblingslied
My favorite song of Faun's. Great video also.
This is one of the best things I have heard in a long time!
Elisabetta.... Stupenda.. !!!!
Thank you very much for upload this beautiful song!
No me canso de escucharla Exelente
This song is awesome...

Was für eine wundertolle Musik... ^=^
faun gehört zum besten was das Folk genre rausgebracht hat
gänze haut pur einfach klasse gemacht ich lieb den song
Dass die Faune auch mal einen Synthesizer spielen, finde ich cool! Nicht schlecht, was die daraus gemacht haben!
ein super geiles lied von einer super geilen band
It's a ancient version of Icelandic to those who asked
Thank you
This will always be magical.
So it's old Norwegian.
old norse you twat
Faun is a German band not icelandic or norse
Faun is German band.

Tolles Lied Tolles Video Tolle Band
Magical 🖤🖤
Zehn geheime Runen sah ich
Geritzt auf geglättetem Fischbein:
Dies hat der Linde des Lauchs (Mädchen)
Lange Kummer gemacht.
She was the best singer the band ever had.
Truth :) these 2 together were the best
theyre both stunningly gorgeous!
I love your video!!! Thanks, Ladymoonluna!!
it is a recorder......in Canadian schools it is one of the instruments used to introduce music in grade 5 and 6
Great song and band, thanks for posting this video, Lady Moon!
Hoffentlich sehe ich die bald mal wieder live!
The moral of the story of this song, is supposed to be that when someone writes something that hurts you, writing something in addition is not good enough to heal. What was written wrong must first be erased, and then the new writ wrote.
this is absolute absoluteness! cant stop movin!
enchanting!
Wunderschönes, emotionales Lied. Mittlerweile nur noch kommerzielle Band

Awesome song and music :)
Cheers from Sweden

bei dem lied schwing ich sofort das tanzbein sobald ich das höre hält mich nichts mehr^^
