Lyrics:

Reiar var drukken og liden forstod
I bordet han slog
Han slog så i bordet så folket det græd
På væggen det revnede og loftet faldt ned

Og den som sluger vin og i rus forstyrrer sit hus
Ja brændevin forstyrrer på vid og forstand
Man glemmer sin kone med barnet i favn

Reiar han ville til pigerne gå på gangeren grå
Med bidsel og saddel og sving dig oppå
Du skal ride til kirke du skal ikke gå

Reiar sad oppe ved bordet og åd og pigerne så
Med uldne sokker og brunmålte sko
Hvor reiar han lo, hvor reiar han lo

Du reiar du reiar du var mig så staut, men du frier som et naut
Du kunne vel spørge om jeg dig ville ha’
Jeg kunne dig lide og svare dig ja

Når reiar han lyste sin brud som en mand
3000 det sprang
Et bæger af sølv gav han bruden i hånd
Og bruden i glæde i senge hun sprang

Lyrics:

Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met”, cried he
“I’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea
All for the love of thee”
“I could have married the King’s daughter, dear
She would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
All for the love of thee”
“Well, if you could have married the King’s daughter, dear
I’m sure you are to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And find him a nice young man”
“Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I’ll take you to where the grass grows green
To the banks of the salt, salt sea”
“Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And go along with thee
What have you got to maintain me on
And keep me from poverty?”
“Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Will be at your command”
She picked up her own wee babe
Kisses gave him three
Said, “Stay right here with my house carpenter
Keep him good company”
Well, they’d not been gone but about two weeks
I know it was not three
When this fair lady began to weep
She wept most bitterly

Lyrics:

Villemand og hans væne brud
Strengen er af guld
De spillede guldtavl i hendes bur
Så liflig leged’ han for sin jomfru

For hver en gang guldtavl på borde rendte
Så mange tårer den jomfru fældte

“Hvorfor græder I for guld så rød?
Eller græder I for I er bleven min mø?

Eller græder I for jeg er ikke rig
Og jer tykkes, jeg kan ikke være jer lig’?”

“Jeg græder ikke for guld så rød,
Og det er med min vilje, jeg er bleven jer mø.

Ej heller græder jeg for I er ikke rig,
Mig tykkes, I er og så ganske min lig’.

Jeg græder langt mere for åen Blide,
Som snarligt jeg skal hen over ride.

Der sank neder mine søstre to
Den tid de lod deres bryllup bo.

Lyrics:

En stol højt monne stande alt under hvælvet sten
Den var af hovedpande og skøre dødningben
Der så man Hel at true, alt var hun hvid mod fod
Mod issen blå at skue af underløbet blod

Et dødningben det hvide vel bleget i måneskin
Hun straktes ud til kvide med et hævngærrigt sind
Det vare muldent lugte hun sprang det som en vånd
Som kongespir hun brugte det i sin grumme hånd

Det var så tyst derinde, en liglugt overalt
Der rørtes ingen vinde kun hule suk gengjaldt
Tre fakler blåligt lue ved hver en dødning stod
Man idel rædsel skue med intet spor af blod

Der så man Tor at smile, han vendte sig omkring
Han monne hurtigt ile hen i de dødes ring
Han råbte højt derinde da disse strenge ord
Så gå det hver en kvinde som ej tør følge Tor

I usselige dåre som frygter sår og død
Nu Hel jer evigt såre med kval og bitter nød
I lod ej hjelmen hvælve om issen kækt i strid
I skabtes til at skælve så skælv til evig tid

Derpå den strenge kæmpe tren fast for Hela frem
Han måtte stemmen dæmpe i hendes mørke hjem
Han sagde gustne kvinde retfærdigt straffer du
Dog står jeg ej herinde i en frivillig hu

Til Udgårds drot at drage dertil stod fast mit sind
Der kunne han så mage at her jeg vandret ind
Thi sig mig hvis du mægter hvad vej jeg vandre må
For til de stærke slægter i Jotunheim at gå

Der skreg til Mjølners svinger Hel med sin stemme styg
Det klang som sværdet klinger udi en panserryg
Forlad min sort bue gå frem snart est du der
Det blænder mig at skue din sundheds rosenskjær

Der vinkte brat behænde gud Tor med dristigt blik
Sig Loke bort mon vende da Hel forbi han gik
Fast han sit øje lukkede så tungt var ham den gang
Hun så på ham og sukkede i hendes spir det klang

Lyrics:

Ramund var sig en bedre mand,
om han havde bedre klæder.
Dronningen gav hannem klæder på stand
af blårgarn, bast og læder.
»Sådant vil jeg ikke ha’«, sagde Ramund,
»Sådant står mig ikke bra’«, sagde Ramund den unge.

2 Ramund gik sig ved salten søstrand,
der så han syv jætter stande.
»Tager jeg Ramund på min mindste hånd
og kaster ham langt fra lande«.
»Det gør ikke ene du«, sagde Ramund,
»Komme må I alle syv«, sagde Ramund den unge.

3 Ramund tog til sit dyre sværd,
det han kaldte Dymlingen røde.
Hug han de jætter syv med én færd,
at blodet randt dennem tildøde.
»Der ligger alle syv«, sagde Ramund,
»Alt står jeg her endnu«, sagde Ramund den unge.

7 Ramund tog til sin store kniv,
den han kaldte Dymlingen dyre.
Skilte han kejseren ved hans liv,
at hovedet fløj femten mile.
»Jeg mente, den ej bed«, sagde Ramund.
»Dog rinder blodet ned«, sagde Ramund den unge.

Lyrics:

Flickan står på golvet fager som en ros
Denna vackra gossen vill hon sova hos

Flickan sa till gossen, vill du bli min vän?
Ja, gärna om det vore uti denna kväll

Vill du bli min vän, så räck mig hit din hand
Och håller du mig kär så tar du mig i famn

Mitt uppå golvet bäddas upp en säng
Där jag skulle vila med min lilla vän

Amalie Bruun has always paved her own path, challenging underground preconceptions of heavy metal ever since the release of her debut Myrkur EP in 2014. Her first two full-length studio albums, 2015’s M and 2017’s Mareridt, recast black metal in the most personal yet expansive of terms, their blending of Amalie’s Danish folk roots with tempestuous internal struggles breathing new life into a subgenre whose followers can be rigidly possessive.

With the release of her new album, Folkesange, Amalie Bruun has set out to journey into the very heart of the Scandinavian culture that marked her childhood. Folkesange relinquishes black metal for a refined yet far-reaching evocation of traditional folk, combining songs ancient and new to sublimely resonant effect.

After the nightmare-induced visions that wrought themselves throughout Mareridt, Folkesange offers an emotional sanctuary, a means to reconnect to something permanent and nature-aligned. It’s an awareness that’s become deeply bound to the album’s organic, regenerative spirit, from the opening track Ella’s heartbeat, frame-drum percussion and crystalline vocals that become the grounding for a rapt, richly textured awakening, to the gentle carousel of the closing Vinter, with its nostalgia-steeped connotations of seasonal, snowfall-bewitched awe.

Storytelling, rites of passage, and the invocation of a continuity that passes through time and generation are all part of folk music’s tapestry, and Folkesange taps into all these currents in their most essential form. In part a purist’s approach to the genre, free from over-interpretation and fusion, the use of traditional instruments throughout, such as nyckelharpa, lyre, and mandola offer a deeper, more tactile connection to their source, an unbroken line of communication back to the past.

But the album is no museum piece; it resonates in the here and now, aided by the spacious production of Heilung member and musical collaborator Christopher Juul. Cinematic yet intimate, Folkesange exists in a state of boundless reverie, bourne by string-led drones, cyclical, elegiac rhythms and Amalie’s frictionless voice, all carrier signals for deep-rooted, ancestral memories, and associations felt on an elemental level.

It’s a binding of the otherworldly and the earthy that echoes the the subject matter of many of the tales themselves. Written by Amalie, Leaves Of Yggdrasil’s medieval cadences bind tragic love story and mythology, full of both fairytale wonder and deeply human foible. Tor i Helheim, its dreamily persistent rhythm redolent of both innocence and encroachment, is based on a poem from the Icelandic Eddas, relating a journey into the underworld of Hel where the sparse nature of the accompaniment becomes the medium that carries you along in its thrall.

An immersive experience in its own right, but also belonging to a wider, pagan folk-based renaissance that has attracted a devoted following worldwide, Folkesange answers a need that has become ever more pressing in turbulent times. A zeroing in on a resonance that is both intrinsic and enduring, it’s a rediscovery of personal grounding, and an experience that reaches beyond culture to remind us of a shared, deeply rooted inheritance. A tuning fork that binds the personal and the universal, Folkesange is a reminder that the most transcendent experiences are those closest to home.

(Words by Jonathan Selzer)
