American born with Scandinavian blood. My heart is there. I have been working to learn the traditions and stories of Norway and Sweden. Love this!

Guess social distancing has put a temporary halt to such beautiful traditions as this for a while? Looking forward to a return to community one day!!!!

[@dansifelagiihavn649]

We have been lucky. The COVID-19 situation has been quite well under control in the Faroe Islands, with only some minor outbreaks. Thus we have gathered weekly to dance during the winter with only two cancellations. Big parties and public dancing events have not been allowed, though.

[@loydgravitt7733]

The singing is done with great gusto and energy. This looks like so much fun.

[@Wiggyam]

It really is. I reccomend going there during Olavsøka, they dance in the streets and in the halls in the nights.

Meine Lieblingsversion! 😍

What about Tyr's version?

[@karstanaumann3079]

@@TrIs1493 don't like it, sorry.

[@fjelltopp]

Love it ☺️

[@Lun4L1ght]

does this way of chanting have a specific name?

[@sanjindumisic]

Underbar version och känsla! I know the background to this song, I also love Norway and my wife being a Sinclair likes this version too. However, it's always odd to hear passionate singing of someone killing your name =) The Swedish Sinclair song (for Malcolm) is a very different. Hope you all can gather in song soon again. /All the Best

[@iceandale7621]

This song is about George Sinclair, the Swedish song is about Malcom Sinclair. Different person

[@sanjindumisic]

@@iceandale7621 Exactly and for Sam's question why Faroe Islands have it in their repertoire is because the Norwegian people and connection to Norway. Untill it became under Danish sovereignty.

[@Wiggyam]

Æ trur den svænske Sinklarvisa handla om ein anna skottemann, han som vart drepen i Russland på veg fra Tyrkerriket

[@sanjindumisic]

@@Wiggyam Nettopp han ja, helt annat tonläge =)

[@Wiggyam]

@@sanjindumisic Ikkje tona, men mann sangen handla om. 100 års tidsførskjell.

[@angelusfurore8565]

What is this song about?

[@That-IrishBoy]

This song is about George Sinclair, a head of a Scotland's mercenary unit in the past, in 1610s, Norway-Denmark was in the war with Sweden, Sweden hired his unit to help Sweden attack at the West of Norway, then he and his men put to sea, and in Kringen, they were killed by Norwegian peasants.

dont know what you did, but you're fine

[@Chayannepompilio]

Alguien que escriba en español me puede explicar acerca de esto por favor. Me parece muy interesante. Gracias!

[@Wiggyam]

It is sung from the perspective of the norwegian peasant farmers that levied a fighting force against Lord Sinclair, a mercenary captain hired by Sweden to attack Denmark-Norway during the Kalmar War. It is sung as a recounting of the events, including the future being revealed by a ‘mermaid’. In these events the norwegians warn Sinklar/Sinclair that if he comes to Norway he will never return, and that if they cartch him in an act violence they will mince him to shreds with their farm axes. Out of the fighting force of 1400 professional mercenaries, only 12 returned home, and the ones that werent slain in combat and surrendered were hacked to death by the angry mob.

[@Chayannepompilio]

[@mathias7595]

They're singing about Scottish soldiers that were ordered to kill Norwegians by the Swedish king. When they traveled inwards Norway, the Scots were suddenly ambushed by a group of Norwegian farmers. The Norwegians killed almost everyone and captured the rest. The song is basically about why you shouldn't mess with the Norwegian people. My favorite verse(nr. 18): Barely one soul came home, who could tell his compatriots, how dangerous it is to visit them who lives among the Norwegian mountains. (This was my translation of verse nr. 18. There are probably some better examples of an English version out there.)
