The Lord's Prayer in Old Norse
I made this after browing Youtube for videos in Old Norse and noticed that there was a more than average amount of videos of the Lord's Prayer in Old English, so I decided to make my own. I'm not sure if the pronunciation is completely correct, but I tried my best.
The background music is the World Trade Center movie theme by Craig Armstrong.

How to Pronounce Old Norse [Classical/Reconstructed]
How to pronounce Old Norse, as we understand it may have been spoken. This is not the same as the modern Icelandic pronunciation.
Note: The Norse language spanned centuries and land masses. There were dialects, and there are many theorized pronunciations of those dialects. This is a homogenized reconstruction based on what I've learned.

Lyrics (Old Norse):

um hægindi svá djupt ok mjott,
um rosemd með engan skell.

In the future I might make some videos about other cool languages like Old English, Gothic, Russian, Irish, and such. (Those will only have one video because I don't speak any of them except a bit of Russian)

The famous poem by Egill Skallagrímsson (904 – 995):
Þat mælti mín móðir,

Norse Legends [Audio]
The tales of the Norse gods, of the giants, demons, trolls and dwarves, still have the power to fascinate more than a thousand years after they were first told. Here are the stories of the one-eyed god Odin, the all-seeing, who from his throne in Asgard the home of the gods, has to prepare for Ragnarok, the final conflict between good and evil. There are tales too of Tyr the god of war, of the cun

First story in Norse. There will be more to come. Haven't been studying Norse for too terribly long, so there are probably some grammar errors or weird flow issues or whatever.

Lyrics (Old Norse):
Drøymde mik ein draum i nótt
um silki ok ærlig pell,
um hægindi svá djupt ok mjott,

Ok i drauminom ek leit
sem gegnom ein groman glugg
þá helo feigo mennsko sveit,
hver sjon ol sin eiginn ugg.
Talit þeira otta jok
ok leysingar joko enn —
en oft er svar eit þyngra ok,
þó spurning at bera brenn.
Ek fekk sofa lika vel,
ek truða þat væri best —
at hvila mik á goðu þel´
ok gløyma svá folki flest´.
Friðinn, ef hann finzt, er hvar
ein firrest þann mennska skell,

Lyrics (English translation):
I dreamed a dream last night
of silk and fair furs,
of a pillow so deep and soft,
a peace with no disturbance.
And in the dream I saw
as though through a dirty window
the whole ill-fated human race,
a different fear upon each face.
The number of their worries grow
and with them the number of their solutions —
but the answer is often a heavier burden,
even when the question hurts to bear.
As I was able to sleep just as well,
I thought that would be best —
to rest myself here on fine fur,
and forget everyone else.
Peace, if it is to be found, is where
one is furthest from the human noise —
and walling oneself around, can have a dream
of silk and fine furs.

Here i read the two last chapters of Håkonarmål.
Hákonarmál is a skaldic poem from 960/70 AD which the skald(bard) Eyvindr skáldaspillir composed about the fall of the Norwegian king Hákon Haraldsson 'the Good' at the battle of Fitjar and his reception in Valhalla.
Eyvindr served as a hirdskald in the king Håkons retinue.
The poem is preserved in its entirety and is widely considered to be of great beauty.
The entire kvad has 21 chapers, it starts with the valkyries Gandul and Skogul arriving at the battlefield at Stord in west-Norway, where King Håkon is fighting the sons of Eirik Bloodaxe(who was Håkons half-brother), it tells how he wins the battle but is mortally wounded.
The king asks the valkyries why he was given this fate. The valkyries replies that they gave him victory and he will now go with them and meet Odin.
The next chapter tells of the god Tyr in Åsgård, commanding the gods Hermod and Bragi to go and welcome King Håkon as he arrives to the hall. He is then welcomed by them, the einherjers and then the other norse gods. The peom ends with the last two chapters about what a great king he was.

In this introductory video I explain a little bit about the language of the Vikings, Old Norse. I will continue this series to the level of the language which I know.
In the future I might make some videos about other cool languages like Old English, Gothic, Russian, Irish, and such. (Those will only have one video because I don't speak any of them except a bit of Russian)

After many of the comments continued to be asking for the name of the creators of this song, the group is known as Duivelspack and the song is called " Voluspa ". I had no intentions upon not giving forth to them the credit of their creation, and many people were silly enough to not see my comment nor to be able to read the " All music and lyrics belong to their attributed owners " in the description section. Thanks guys!
This is a Nordic folk song created by putting together many parts of the Norse Havamal. Although I myself created the video, all of the pictures, music, and lyrics belong to their attributed owners. Thank you and hail! :D
Lyrics: ( Old Norse and English ).
-------------------
Ask veit ek standa,
heitir Yggdrasill
hár baðmr, ausinn
hvíta auri;
þaðan koma döggvar
þærs í dala falla;
stendr æ yfir grœnn
Urðar brunni.
---------
Þaðan koma meyjar
margs vitandi
þrjár, ór þeim sal
er und þolli stendr;
Urð hétu eina,
aðra Verðandi,
skáru á skíði,
Skuld ina þriðju;
þær lög lögðu,
þær líf kuru
alda börnum,
örlög seggja.
-------------------
An ash I know it stands-
It is named Yggdrasill.
High tree, sprinkled,
With white mud;
There from come the dews-
That fall on the dale!
It stands always green, above-
The source of Urdhr.
---------
There from come the maids,
Much knowing;
Three, their dwelling,
Stands under the tree;
Urdh is named one,
The other Verdhandi,
- They notched (scored) wood -
Skuld is the third.
They set up the laws,
They decided on the lives,
Of the children of time ('the children of man').
They promulgate fate.

My mother said this,
that I should buy
a ship and good oars,
to go forth with vikings,
stand in the stern,
steer a fine knarr,
then head to harbor,
kill a man and another.

Recital in Old Norse from the original Edda text, Voluspa (The Sibyls Prophecy or Divination of the Witch), a Heathen, Viking Age, Old Norse Poem on Creation, recorded in writing during the 12th Century A.D. (See below for English translation)
ENGLISH TEXT VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu7OYlImQvg&feature;=youtu.be
Recital and roaring (throat singing, kargyraa style) by Maria Kvilhaug, Author of The Seed of Yggdrasill, http://freya.theladyofthelabyrinth.com
Recorded and raw-mixed by Roch Nunes

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TEXT:
Attention I demand from all
the sacred families;
greater and lesser
children of Great World;
You want me, Choice Father
to give a good account
of the most ancient tales
that which I remember best.
I remember giants
born before time
those who in the olden days
had me fostered
Nine worlds I remember
Nine Witches Within Wood
Before the Mead-Tree
sprouted from the ground below
In the beginning was the Wave
where Sound built
was neither sand nor sea,
nor cool little waves
Earth was not,
nor heaven above
The Open Mouth of the
Sacred Descendants was
yet no growth
Before the sons of Storage Chamber
lifted up the lands
they who shaped
the precious Middle World
Sun shone from the south
on the rocks of the hall [=Earth]
then the Earth began to grow
the green plants

The tales of the Norse gods, of the giants, demons, trolls and dwarves, still have the power to fascinate more than a thousand years after they were first told. Here are the stories of the one-eyed god Odin, the all-seeing, who from his throne in Asgard the home of the gods, has to prepare for Ragnarok, the final conflict between good and evil. There are tales too of Tyr the god of war, of the cunning Loki, of Thor the mighty thunder god and a host of others. These retellings of the old tales are given extra dramatic perspective by the music of Mahler, Grieg, Smetana. They come to life as never before.

From Stone Age shamanism through Bronze Age Sun worship and Sacred Marriage, the Great Goddess Freyia evolved into the great Regeneratrix of the Vikings who sought initiation and resurrection through a deadly journey through the Underworld that would lead to union with the Origin of All Souls, goddess of the cosmic ocean from which the universe was birthed. Based on my book "The Maiden with the Mead - a Goddess of Initiation in Old Norse Myths".
My thesis is available at the University of Oslo library and as an ebook: @Germania7 My thesis is available at the University of Oslo (2004) where it was accepted and my theories said to have been proven correct by my examinators, it may be read as an e-book here: http://www.duo.uio.no/sok/work.html?WORKID=18497.
All drawn art in this movie is copied from Scandinavian Stone Age, Bronze Age and Viking Age rock art, engravings and sculpture (by me).
Music by Ehwaz, a group that is (sadly) dissolved. Thanks to the musicians of late Ehwaz for attempting to revive Old Norse musical styles: Embla Maria Franz (voice, violin, flutes and percussions), Gustav Holberg (Voice, violin, flutes and percussions), Thomas Kvilhaug (voice, bass, guitar and percussions), John Gunnar Brynjulvsrud (voice, jews harp, kantele, Lótar and percussions), Kjell Øyvind Braaten (voice, ballafon, gambri, bass, guitar and percussions). The songs are: Skumringsdrøm, Vi Riden Så, Gwerin, Vinda, from the albums "Den siste Ulvejakta" and "Ehwaz".
