This song is so beautiful and sad, I imagine a lost person singing this in spirit form calling out for their loved ones after a tragic death
Y'know what. I didn't need to sleep.
Whatttt this is a lullaby for me 😆
😴
These are the things I really value about UA-cam...the ability to share cultures and aid in saving them. Bravo. This is powerful.
Bravo!!! Cheers!!!:), Mi gusto también! Great!!!👏 👏 👏
poor faroese, like only 72000 speakers
Could be better.
the north dont die we teach our children ( we all stand on the shoulders of giants)
I've been listening to this song non-stop for over an hour. It's such a remarkable piece of music. Dark and mysterious. Contemporary yet timeless. I can almost hear the call of ancient nordic Gods/spirits. Eivør is a powerful singer, but her vocal delivery is also incredibly subtle and expressive. She makes me "feel" the song and allows me to connect with it on both the intellectual and spiritual level. Thank you for sharing this unique 'jewel' and for the English translation. Your channel is like a treasure box of wonderful music. So many magnificent songs and delightful compositions to listen to and enjoy..
I do the same thing. It gets into your bones like that. 🥰
I been looking around my room for spirits for the last 10 minutes after hearing this song
Hey I’m terrified but I really like this song
Am I the only one who finds this song soothing, even knowing what the lyrics means?
(P.s. I do need the translation, but since I am an ~A2 speaker of Swedish, the text isn't completely alien to me.)
Heinrich Tsanov
No I find it relaxing in a sense as well.
@@HeinrichTsanov no, it's beautiful like all scandinavian music. and touches right into the hart with its pureness and simplycity. translations are a god help with some words. since i speak/read and understand quite good norwegian (both nynorsk and bokmaal) it's familiar to nynorsk and not that hard at all... it's the same langauge, but stayed more or less original on faroe islands and iceland, whilst it changed a bit at home over several hundred years...
It's more like finding your guardian than a malevolent entity that wants to hurt you.
I'm Icelandic. I could understand everything in the faroese text except for Kvirruni. :P
Rodholseth that’s because Faroese is closer to Icelandic
@@cyberpixelatedgamer I know. But the pronounciation is so different. Í in Icelandic is not "oi" :)
@@cyberpixelatedgamer Love it anyway. Been to the faroese islands 2 times. Amazing islands and amazing people. The food was good. And Eivør is so good! Had to speak Danish to them though.
Rodholseth ah I have never traveled abroad before.
@@cyberpixelatedgamer Where are you from? We in the Nordic countries usually travel between the one or the other. I live in Norway now.
As someone who Grew up Norwegian it's still unsettling how i can get a grasp at what's being said by the non English lyrics alone.
I think the majority of your fans prefer the Faroese version 😍 it feels more natural, intense, wild and free. It’s also great to learn a bit of Faroese through your songs ♥️

WE LOVE YOU EIVØR! 🍀♥️
Indeed, couldn't agree more!
I first heard í Tokuni as the cover Ignea (a Ukrainian metal band, with Arab/Persian elements) did -- and it made me wonder about this song.
I'm honestly surprised, and thoroughly impressed with the original. The original has a blend of Nordic, Arabic, and electronica elements that is _very_ unique -- and now I understand why Helle Bogdanova, the vocalist for Ignea, did a cover of this song. Because if I had to choose 2 words to describe this song, they would be both "haunting" and "tragic."
Eivør, I am highly impressed with this song. Well done.
And in case anyone is curious, here is the link to the Ignea cover:

This song legit describes the way I’m feeling and my situation right now. Metaphorically ofc. But still I feel like this song fits exactly the way I feel. Just endlessly lost and afraid and uncertain of everything
I completely understand the feeling! It's so hard to know the way. For me, this song helps me deal with my anger when it is other people who cause the path to be uncertain or dangerous. I don't know if you're religious, but something else that helps me is knowing that God is in control, and in contrast to the mist in this song, always has a light to guide the way, even if it is one step at a time, and gives comfort to those who are lost. If you want to, look up Psalm 119:105 and Psalm 23:4. No pressure, but I thought I'd offer the aid I have found to someone else who feels lost!
Julia McLearn thank you so much for your reply. I am a Christian as well. Knowing that God is in control is such a help in dark times, even tho it still can sometimes swallow you up. But it’s best to always remember that he is there, despite everything, he is there. The song as well helps me deal with the things that go on, when I feel angry or lost. It’s a beautifully written song. I hope everything goes well for you, thanks again for the reply, it meant a lot.
@@elizabethculpepper4050 You're welcome 😊 I completely agree with you!
Depression and anxiety??
Mettatonyx I struggle with both, and a few other things.
Hard not to go "full goosebumps" on this one!
I didn't know I needed this song until now...
This is amazing, I'm so happy I found this song. It's so beautiful and I didn't even know this language existed!
Its very close to Icelandic both faroese and icelandic are the closest youll get to old norse in modern day lingusticly they have changed very little since the norse arrive in the isles
@@benmorris7276 awesome! thanks! :), Cheers!!!...
Icelandic?
hómi eg skuggar = I sense shadows. endaleysu tokuni = endless mist. And that strange [ui] sound (letter í). What an interesting language! It's always very exciting to discover something new.
Great song and great lyrics video by the way. Thanks a lot!
This lady’s music makes me want to write my own material again. Fantastic stuff!
It's sad people don't even know the faroe islands exist😕🇫🇴
I hope they get independence to preserve their culture better
Came here because of the cover from Ignea and must say the original is also very beautiful. Even when I prefer metal but this one sounds very harmonic and gives me goosebumps.
Thanks for the english translation. It's always very helpful to understand the meanings of the lyrics.
why am i getting a very Morgana vibe from this song?
@Brooklyn Jackson irish goddess if i remember correctly
@@crown_clown No, that's the Morrigan. Irish goddess of war and death on the battlefield. She collects the souls of fallen soldiers, I believe.
Morgana, also known as Morgan le Fay, is the renowned witch/magic practitioner in Arthurian legend. Alternately a wronged party or pure villain, depending on what version of the myth you go with. Her son is by Arthur, her half-brother, is Mordred, and he killed King Arthur.
@@RoseRitonya oh yeah, right. It was Morrigan. Thanks
Thought Morgana is a league of legends champion, could be wrong
I love this song, but i like this even more cause i can understand it when i watch this video
this song sounds like something you would sing well brewing potions to enchant them (the potions)
I'm Jamaican and I must say this is 11 out of 10.
I'm watching the series 'The Mist' on Netflix and this would fit perfectly as soundtrack, with references to friends, shadows and death.
I'm even more in love with this song now
What a beautiful song! Greetings from Lebanon 🇱🇧♥️
Brilliant artist.
Hauntingly beautiful I’d say
Thank you for posting-I’ve always loved this song and knowing what the lyrics are makes it even more beautiful! 💖
This is a really beautiful and intriguing song. I just love it and the video is is awesome ❤😊.
I really want to learn to sing this in faroese! So glad for this video to help!
I really love this channel
Where else I would listen this amazing songs 🔅
Tack för en fantastisk konsert 2019 Stockholm Eivor👍
I must not be the only one who wants to sing this so so badly but can't even pronounce any of these words 😥. I'll listen and learn how to (don't know how it will take)
Simultaneously eerie and beautiful
I absolutely adore this song, and your channel! Thank you for making this video!
1:05 OMG I love it.
Thanks for the transition! Eivor is the best.!!!
This song keeps giving me goosebumps :o
Ich bin ein Deutscher. Ich war noch nie in Island. Aber es kommt mir alles bekannt vor. Es beißt mich nicht. Es zieht mich magisch an. Auch in dieser wunderschönen Sprache kann ich mich wiedererkennen. Ich verstehe diese Sprache nicht ganz, aber ich kann sie fühlen. Tja, einige Worte versteht man als Deutscher natürlich sofort - manche erst nach längerem Nachdenken. Vinur (Freund) steckt in vielen alten deutschen Namen (Winfried, Weinhold, Gerwin, Erwin usw.) Wir sind uns näher, als wir denken. Viele Grüße aus Dresden!
Wenn ich den Text mitlese, dann verstehe ich mehr und mehr. Vieles wird eigenartig ausgesprochen, ist dem deutschen aber doch sehr nahe.
Der Inhalt ist mir ohnehin nah. Ich liebe es, einsam durch Nebel oder Regen zu laufen. Da ist man für sich. Man denkt! Alle anderen sind weg. - Klar, der Text geht noch tiefer. Aber in meine Richtung. Ich laufe ständig durch die Gegend und denke über alles nach: Ich ging fast alle Wege! - Langsam geht mir die Zeit aus. - Tja, der Heini (Freund Hein, der Tod)i steht immer vor der Türe! - Keine Angst! - Aber man muß ja nicht bei jedem Klopfen die Tür öffnen. - Hol mich morgen!
Ja, ich kenne die Einsamkeit. - Ich sehe Dich! Ich erkenne Dich sogar durch den Nebel hindurch!
Das Sängerin kommt nicht aus Island, sie kommt aus die Färöer Inseln. Das Lied ist in Färöisch :-)
(Sorry for my German, it’s very rusty)
I’m singing along I like the song
Beautiful...
Sarf beautiful
Faroese. An island culture like mine, and as poor and helpless as my culture. Even now, our cultures are exploited and demonized in the same way. The Faroese are my family, we just speak a different language.
Out of curiosity, where are you from?

hi

I found your channel about a week ago and it's one of my favorite ones that I'm subscribed to at this point
I can sing this Fairly well. The Slow pace Really helps
Nossa passei ela inteira no caderno para português muito interessante..intriga e questiona, mas quando fui compartilhar juntamente com o vídeo na minha pagina do Facebook por causa do "o" cortado apagou tudo que tinha digitado que pena, ficará apenas no meu caderno.
When i first heard this song i was a little confused because some of the words sounds very similar to some words from my mother language which is polish, but the other ones are very different so i was confused as what am i listening actually. Now i found out this beautiful and magical language is icelandic :)
The language is not icelandic - it's faroese... The Faroese Islands are located between Norway and Iceland ;-)
I don’t understand a thing but my heart does
im learning troah singing to this song :D AWEMOME!!!
j'adorre
Awesome. Sköl
Greeting from Poland 🎉❤
0:31 ill dream these noises

So creepy but I love it.
Are there any Scandinavian songs preferably Nordic on here?

This amazing it’s so cool how you can share your country’s though music so creepy but amazing very
I don’t know what it is exactly, but something in this song feels… relatable somehow? I seem to connect with the words for some reason…
Probably because I’m going insane tbh…
Great song though
What are the whispered parts? I can't find anything for those.
Drew Barnes I think they may just be vocalizations, like in some of her other music.
Yeah it’s just vocalizations via throat singing.
It sounds a lot like Inuit throat singing I've heard. Search Inuit throat singing and you'll hear something very similar.
Its just Faroese throat singing. Not any lyrics.
Deep Raw Wild zany Incredie incredible feel!
Eivør! A One and Only Beautiful Artist Vocalist! Musician! Talents Sooo Magically Beautiful! ❣️☄
Divinely Gorgeous Eivør!
Great Vid! thanks!
Amo! Abrazós!
The English version of this song was modified to make rhymes, but in doing so it loses most of the meaning and impact of the original lyrics translated here.
The OG lyrics, as the singer mentioned in a live show, were inspired by a real experience she had as a little girl, when she actually got lost at night in the mist.
Keep that in mind while reading the translation here... looking at it from the perspective of a lost little girl trying to find her way home through a misty night... brrrr, the impact is certainly a lot different.
❤💖🥰
BRUHHH THIS FUCKING SLAPS
had to replay the song because I wasn’t looking at the lyrics I was too into the beat
Thumbs Up for those who come here thanks to Ignea!
anyone knows what's the font in this video?
screenshot from official song video
Thank you so much for the Gaelic lyrics.
Alfred Olhem Cachero Estepa I believe that's the name of original Irish language.
Alfred Estepa Good to know. I still love the lyrics with the melody. What's P.I.E. ?
@@truck6859 it's Faroese (the song) read the description
Oh you learnt
This song is in Faroese ,not gaelic.
Im Norwegian and i understood some of the original lyrics??
Well, they’re both north germanic and west norse languages, it’d be weird if you didn’t understand any word at all ;)
thank U Máire Ní Shúilleabháin 💖🥀🦋ヽ｀♪ 💜ヽ♪｀༄◦✧｀♪♫｀💎

I came here to hopefully learn a line or two. So far I have Vinur down. Lol! This is a seriously hard language. What even is this language? I'm currently learning Hindi maybe this will be next.
Ignea brought me here😊
Sorry to be that guy, but I think it's supposed to be "Veitst tú _ongan_ loyniveg?" in the final verse. 3:05
Eivør is my biggest inspiration! You might like this as well: ua-cam.com/video/LCcijtXKE8A/v-deo.html
