  • The video has 2 parts, the first sung in Old Norse, and the second a modern version. For reference, The Vikings Brothers King Harald & Halfdan sung this epic song in the episode S05E10 of Vikings.
    Old Norse:
    Þat mælti mín móðir,
    at mér skyldi kaupa
    fley ok fagrar árar,
    fara á brott með víkingum,
    standa upp í stafni,
    stýra dýrum knerri,
    halda svá til hafnar,
    höggva mann ok annan.
    English:
    My mother told me
    Someday I would buy
    A galley with good oars
    Sail to distant shores
    Stand upon the prow
    Noble barque I steer
    Steady course for the haven
    Hew many foe-men,
    Hew many foe-men.
    Music: MY MOTHER TOLD ME by PERLY I LOTRY (Vikings Soundtrack Music).

      That's right, in some cases even a lot of CGI. BUT almost always unobtrusively and simply to do justice to the story, whereas in many other series or films with a lot of CGI, the CGI is more in the centre and not the story. It's (supposed) realism versus cool action pictures.

      @@skaterdave03 This isn't exactly correct, the way I know it is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." Meaning the bonds of friends that you make through meeting them and building a relationship "blood brothers" is stronger than just being born into a relationship and being expected to love them.

      Blood traitor? Lol you all need to read the myth of Kumbakarna. It's a Hindu myth with themes of brotherhood and loyalty. One of the morals of the story is to be careful when swearing blind loyalty even to your brother. Halfdan swore on his oath ring(the physical manifestation of his honor) to serve Bjorn. To break that would be an affront to their gods. I wont serve a mad man just because he is my brother. Not to mention Harald was using his brother towards his own goals not considering his feelings or goals. If blood is so thick and powerful and meaningful why did Harald kill Halfdan?

    I had to listen to "My Mother Told Me" several times before I realized the lyrics were intentionally written using only the proto-Germanic part of the English vocabulary, to make it sound as Norse as possible -- hence phrases like "hew many foe-men" instead of "slay many enemies".
