"Eirik Jarl" - Norse Song
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2019
- Eirik Jarl was the Earl of Trøndelag and Hålogaland and was ruler of Norway as long as he accepted Danish over-rule of his domain. This song tells the tale of a gathering in Trøndelag's capital, Nidaros.
The song was created by Norwegian folk singer Harald Foss.

wtf? what songs are about darkness and scary stuff? i think you watched too much "vikings" on HBO
Ever had a party so epic that they still sing about it a thousand years later?

Props to Njål and Ravn, even though they got second place in rowing they were noteworthy enough to be mentioned in the song
Thank you
I hope we all achieve such acclaim as Njal and Ravn, living a modest life with appropriate amounts of splendor, but still have your name praised throughout generations.
Everybody gangsta till Eirik of Nidaros shows up
Fun fact: Nidaros was the old name of the city Trondheim in Norway

@@Baraodojaguary "Neo-Pagans have sometimes forgotten; when they set out to do everything that the old pagans did, that the final thing the old pagans did was to get christened." Like the great Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Suebi, and the Alemanni, so did the Nords, Swedes, Geats, and Danes also take up the cross. I see nothing wrong here.
What about the fregdamen frå Island og Noreg?
@@alpenschatz i m not neo pagan its just a joke
I love the sound of a Norwegian singing, it just sounds so beautiful. Dont know why
Same buddy
It's fordi Norway is da best
It's because you haven't heard yet Armenian singing.
@Ethan Pearson no it is norwegian. "og" is also norwegian and "Eg" is norwegian to (nynorsk form of "jeg") and tid is the norwegian word for time
@Ethan Pearson the Text is pretty modern so i guess it is surely after the contact👌😁

the tone to this song is so unique
feels almost upbeat and joyful, but also maybe slightly melancholy?
So perfectly descriptive of northern europe :D
Yeah
I definitely got a sad vibe from this one despite the upbeat lyrical subject matter

If modern English hadn't been Influenced by french it's very likely most of us could understand it. I mean even just looking at the words compared to the subtitles I could get the gist of it fairly quick
Frisian is the closest living Germanic language to English. Its not very mutually intelligible anymore but it was mutually intelligible to Old English. You should check it out of you haven't.
You trying to say that Anglo-Saxons and Norsemen could understand each other? I tend to doubt that.
@@ThoseColoniesAreMine It depends on the timeline.
@@AaronPaulIbarrola I would say that Platt more like old english is. The northern dialekts the most. I'm from Ostpfalen and our dialekts sounds more skandinavian. Like the dialekts of the Westfalen. We have more than two germanic languages in germany!
@@jarlnils435 linguistically speaking Plattdeutsch is closer to English than to german, although in regards to grammar and vocabulary not so much.
Im an 17 year old dutchguy who is extremely passioned and obsessed about the viking age. Because of this song im sad that im not from Norway xD but hey the closest that the vikings have been is 35 min away from my home. To every scandinavian reading this. Don't forget this awesome period. The period where your country got famous. Greetings from the netherlands
There is a new Lidl opening in Dublin, where there is a ruined viking house under the floor, seen through glass. Dublin and Waterford, Ireland's 'viking city' , in the south east have many viking museums, attractions etc. Would recommend you visiting to both cities in the future.

It took me entirely too long to realize that earl is etymologically descended from the word jarl.
it is not a descendent but a cousin
They both come from the Proto-Germanic word “erilaz”, but “earl” is closer to the source than “jarl”.
They’re cognates, one is not descended from the other.
@@merry3755I suppose the confusion comes from the fact that there are still earls today, but jarl seems ancient, unless I’m wrong and Jarl still is a title in Norway or Denmark.
It feels great to listen to a song of a fellow germanic language that you may not speak but still manage to pick up a few sentences. These are the moments I wish Denmark ever lost us, Greetings from the former Duchy of Holstein.

Quite a similarity between the Norse and Homer's Achaeans, don't you think?
This kind of reminds me of how today in Hungary there is a national event called the Kurultaj which is a gathering of distant ethnic peoples from all across Central and East Asia coming together to celebrate their common cultures, customs, traditions, values and they also do archery but it's horse archery (Y) :)

Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize the "tears" in the paintings are Iceland and Norway. ^^
Which is stupid. Iceland should not be included. Iceland was not part of Norway until the 13th century and Icelanders have fought long for their own identity that keeps being undermined by Nationalists Norwegians who adamantly claim all Icelanders were Norwegians. Any man born in Iceland is an Icelander to us, Icelanders did not and do not consider themselves to be Norwegians. be it during the Viking era or later. The Icelandic Commonwealth was founded in opposition to the Norwegian crown, created by people fleeing the rule of Norway in the hopes to create their own land. There is not a single point in the sagas when an Icelandic-born man is called a Norwegian and they are always called Icelanders and Icelanders had to fight a 40-year long civil war before swearing fealty to Norway. Out of all the countries to have ruled Iceland Norway did so by far the shortest. With effective Norwegian ending as soon as the monarchy joined a union with the crown of Denmark in 1380 and ending officially when the kingdom of Norway was integrated into the Kingdom of Denmark in 1537. Even under Norway Iceland was pretty much always considered separate off it, maintaining its own separate parliament and legal code throughout Norwegian rule.
I'm sure many will point out that the map refers to the "Norse" world, not the Norwegian one and I would then just like to point out the double standard, When it's an Icelandic "Norse" song or a Faroese "Norse" song the map only shows those countries and their flag, But if it's a Norwegian one it shows a united "Norse" world but not even completely because it doesn't include Denmark and Sweden. Norse does not mean Norwegian.
@@ThatIcelandicDude im pretty sure it's because of all the fregdamenn frå Ísland og Noreg
@@sanjaysreejith973 Every single Norwegian "Norse" song of his includes this picture.
@@ThatIcelandicDude well all Icelanders are ethnic Norwegian and Norwegians made Iceland
@@ostekakeutenost1308 An Icelander on its own is an ethnicity. One created from the mix of Norwegians, Danes and Celts and Iceland was quet literally founded in opposition to the Norwegian crown, Settled by people fleeing Norway, a people who created their own Republic and very quickly began calling themselves Icelanders. The Sagas call even firat generation Icelanders that. Iceland would exist as an Independent Republic until the latter half of the 13th century after having existed for over 330 years.
Obviously this is romanticised to a degree but I feel sad that this era is gone forever, an era where you could defeat someone called hjalfd the strong in an arm wrestling contest and have songs sung about you when you return to your village.
This song is beautiful. Thank you!

@@kadeadams2308 Wouldn't that be "någon"?
Can't believe I missed Eric's party
What a wonderful discovery! Made my day.
I can't quite explain, but something about the sheer sound of this song makes me feel nostalgic for something I don't even know about. Like I'm longing for something I've long since forgotten or left behind.

probably one of the best songs ive heard in my life, no joke
It’s surprising how close this sound to Het Wilhelmus

Eirik jarl my man ;)
lol I read up on him and turns out he actually betrayed the king Olav Tryggvason to get the throne, and sold off half his country to Denmark, and swore loyalty to the Danish king in the little terretory he had domain over. Eirik Jarl was basically one big douche, low key regret making this video xD
Ingen yeah he wasent the most honourable man, but hey, atleast i carry the name of the absolute madman
@@Ingenting den idioten

@@Ingenting Don't regret, the sound is amazing and the games and gatherings in Nidaros were truly amazing.
@@Ingenting Olav killed Eriks father, it was pure revenge. Olav was a torturer, murdurer and a psykopat. Erik did nothning wrong!
This is so much true to real Viking culture than the well known tv show.

I love this song! Finally now on itunes (Australia)!❤️❤️❤️
i Noticed that this was similar to Swedish so I translated the lyrics into modern day-Swedish:
Kom sit ikring och lyssna på mig, så berättar jag
händelser som hände i vår sagatid.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
Och också ifrån Shetland och ifrån Orkonöy,
til samlingen var dem bjudna, både man och hustru.
I kapplekarna på järda visar dem sin styrka,
och därefter håller jarlen fest och spel.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
Den första leken uppå järda,
bågskytte det blev,
og många spända långbågar då dagen fortsatte,
men ingen träffade spjutet som var på en kulle,
utom Einar ifrån Lade som dem kallar Tambarskjelv.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
I den nästa leken ska dem ro etter Nidarfjorden.
Och årveden knakade då jättarna tog i.
Men Torgaut ifrån Orkonöy var en pajk som kunne ro,
och Njål och Ravn från Island, dem kom som nummer två.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
Den nästa leken på järda det var Hästtrav och spring,
Med många välkända hästar bland ridande män.
Men Eirik jarls Rimfakse han van som förväntat.
Detta var en häst som inte hade konkurans.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.
Då lekarnas slut kom, på femte dagen det var.
Då jarlen tutade hornet, slut på tävlingen nu.
Nu bjuder vi allt folk in i fästarhallen in.
Om dessa event skald ska sjunga, nästa samlingen.
Kända män från Island och Norge samlades,
Nidaros var staden och Eirik han var jarl.

Jepp, Einar Tamberskjelve, mentioned in the sagas as the best viking with a bow and arrow :) He also came from Skaun, where Ragnar`s Lagertha grew up.
A famed politician and archer, killed by Harald Hardrada due to being a political rival.
Einar fought against Eirik Jarl in the battle at Svolder (i.e. the “hildarting” in Ormen Lange) but was pardoned after king Olav Tryggvason’s defeat.

brings you to accepting death, this is the greatest achievement of a song.
The greatness of past and forgotten kings, if not tomorrow the day after tomorrow every ruler will be forgotten, but as men we can greet the world with joy if we have generated culture.
This song is not ancient my guy, it’s a modern song.
@@hickspaced2963 It's written in description. It's not ancient and I knew it.
"Ancient culture" ≠ "Ancient song", but the facts narrated are from a remote era,
it does not matter that the poet is of our day, when he tells of ancient mythology, of forgotten days, recreating those days, those moments, then we are talking about an ancient culture completely different from the modern Norwegian one.
If I recreate a Gregorian chant keeping its features then what I create isn't a product of modern culture.
My God who knew so some could talk so much about my ancestors

I CRAVE MORE NORSE MUSIC
It is sung in norwegian.
as you dont know, nidaros is basically an older name of the city Trondheim
I could have expected that, I play Hearts of Iron IV and Crusader Kings 3
Is the melody authentic?
No, the vikings did not have musical notation that we know of
The instruments used are recreated based on archelogical evidence and studied. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to give a concrete answer but based on my assumption of their competence, I'd say it most likely sounded this way.
I was always curious about how much Scandinavian languages look alike with each other and with the German language. For example, if someone speaks Swedish, can (s)he understand and communicate with someone from Norway? And if someone knows German, can (s)he understand Swedish and at what extend?
Im german and I can't understand Swedish danish or Norwegian.
I just understand the word "Langbogen" in this song.
But it's possible to understand dutch.
@@heiratsschwindler6749 Hmm, I see. Thanks for sharing! It seems that the opposite (from northern to German) is difficult too. But, if you speek one of them, I think it is not that hard to learn the others as well.
@@Giazaco yes, some people from sweden said they could understand this song.
I think between german and english and of course dutch there are many similar words. As a german you can often guess what the words in english mean for example: water=wasser, apel=Apfel (in dialects it's also sometimes apel in german but with different pronounciacion), sword=Schwert, reaktion=Reaktion, music=Musik and so on.
@@Giazaco Im Swedish and i get around 70% of the song. But it has more to do with dialects. If i am from the middle part of Sweden and live close to the Norwegian border, it's likely that we speak more similar then i would compared to someone from southern Sweden.
@@zoom5024 Thanks a lot for answering. It seems that there is a lot of common ground between norse languages.
Isn't that the kingdom that invaded England,then failed,and then Normans invaded?
No they succeded under Cnut the Great

Near my village there is a place called the Norman's stone. It was the site of a great battle where my ancestors the Rhomaioi defeated the Northmen who came to Greece to dismantle our Empire. They came so close but the GrecoRomans prevailed. I think there is also a saga about this southern campaign.
