Kalandra - Bardaginn (Official Music Video)

[@dansnow4230]

I nearly pissed myself. If Kalandra goes metal, I'm traveling to Europe and going to mash until my legs break. 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@thefloop2813]

Gotta love how the replay bar literally says the entire video is the most replayed part of the song. ok that hourglas flip scene sent shivers down my spine and stood my hairs on end.

[@holisticvocalcoach]

Love how tastefully the heavy elements are combined with the folk elements, and fantastic production!

[@frbdnknwlge]

Yes I absolutely love the band too

[@JP-zv9ou]

The word "bardaginn" itself is an Icelandic word that means "struggle" or "battle," so I'm betting that the song is going to be about some kind of internal or external conflict. Stoked!

Here are the lyrics as well as my translation Ek em hjá þér allri tíð Ástarvin sló máttahríð En þó er morginn dulit mér Ok fǿrir* bardaginn sitt frer Eigi sjám vér fram á leið Vánar veg verð eigi breið Þó eigi óttask skulum vér Því ógnin er alt komin hér Galdrinn minn mun gjalla Galdrinn minn skal gjalla Brjótumk ek Þegar ek vex Ek em hjá þér allri tíð Fyrir bakka, upp á hlíð Morginninn gefr eigi hlé En verðandi er Þó mitt vé Galdrinn minn mun gjalla Galdrinn minn skal gjalla Augabragð fyrir Þér Ævi fyrir mér --------------------------------------------------- My Translation and some notes for things I wasn't totally sure about I am beside you forever in time A love who slew with growing might *1 But though morning has deceived me And the battle brings it’s difficulties *2 We look not to the road ahead An absent path becomes not broad Though we are without fear Even when the harm has already come My magic will bellow; My magic shall scream It breaks me *2 As I grow I am beside you forever; In front of a bank, upon a hill The morning gives no break But nevertheless, peace is my sanctuary*4 My magic will bellow; My magic shall scream A sidelong look for you An eternity for me *1 Máttahrið is likely just a combination of Máttr+hríð” meaning “might+time/awhile” Ástarvin is a combination of “Ást+vin” meaning “Love+Friend.” The actual meaning is a bit unclear and this is just my interpretation of what they may have meant. *2 I am only familiar with the word “frer” being a rare form of the word frost, but given how strange Old Norse poetry *3 I can’t be sure of this line since Brjótumk is clearly “Brjóta” meaning break/destroy, but Brjótumk is not a real conjugation, unless it is combining “we break” which is “Brjótum” and a rare form of an “I” conjugation which sometimes adds ek as a suffix to the end of a word. An example of this is “Skalk” meaning I shall (Skal+ek). This would literally translate to “We and I break I.” Maybe Kalandra will tell me. LOL *4 The word Verðandi is unclear unless it is literally just referring to the Norn named Verðandi, which would mean "Nevertheless, Verðandi is my sanctuary"

Да Вы языковед Скандинавских саг. Весьма признателен.

[@morganbarnes4656]

Recording the translated lyrics from Kalandra's lyric video for us here: I'll stay with you until the end A mighty Force has felled my friend Yet the morrow stays unseen And now the frost of war appears We can't foresee what's yet to come The road of Hope is far from wide Yet we do not have to fear The trembling is already here And my song*, it will resound And my song, it must resound I endure through raging throws Even as I grow I'll stay with you until the end Down the hill, up mountain sides The morrow grants no relief The present is my ward and keep And my song, it will resound And my song, it must resound For you, no time at all will pass For me it ever lasts Kalandra has also acknowledged that their interpretation might not be exactly accurate but it is "translated with creative adjustments to enhance the flow & readability of the text." *Personally I prefer the translation of magic instead of song, but both meanings are held in the Icelandic word.

[@Сергей-л9ь2е]

​@@morganbarnes4656Благодарю Вас, отличный перевод магической песни.

[@asphaltlegend4534]

Ohhh... love these heavier, harder sounds. Drumms as good as always.

[@jo_g.germany]

What a pleasant surprise! Heavy Kalandra! I can't put into words how much I love this band and especially this turn! 🤘🏻🖤

[@Myria83]

Same!

[@MrBnetV]

This video "triggered" me....into a sense of awe in the face of it's overwhelming perfection.

[@MM-ku7cd]

Can we get an album with this style? It’s a banger for sure

[@JoannaIV428]

YES

[@ScoutGreen11]

Very Bear McCreary BS:G '03 in tone and instrumentals So, yes, please!

[@goblinsdammit]

Oh my.... Oooooh my. I'm older and music doesn't do much for me anymore but oh my, Kalandra is just on a different level.

[@JeordieEH]

Kalandra really has surpassed all music I love and has become my favorite band. You never cease to amaze me. I try to introduce all my friends to you. It's hard, not going to lie, but it's worth it to find someone who appreciates amazing music. This was amazing. Thank you katrine and kalandra, you are all amazing.

[@Arianna-sl2hv]

Gorgeous ❤

[@edmanr2010]

Wow they pretty much spelled it out in the description understand the duality of our nature is a big step for alot of people, Understanding that we are both light and dark, understanding the conflict that exists in literally every single one of us is a big step to finding peace within ourselves.

[@ChipMatthews]

I love it when you guys show your heavier side. Fantastic music as always!

[@ThomasStock-zs4ch]

Thank you Kalandra! Fantastic song! Didn't expect this direction... it's more archaic and powerful... I admire your courage to walk musically new paths and also for singing in skandinavien language not in english which would be more commercial and not so risky... 🙂 you write music from the heart... not out of vanity and greed... and that's a beautiful thing🙂 greetings thomas from Innsbruck/ majestic Tirol/Austria

[@Me24Eric]

I love the way Kalandra (and others) make these cinematic videos to go with their songs. It really adds so much to the music! Great song!

[@FreyjaEvelyn_Music]

Yes!!! Thank you so this!!

[@thomaskalbfus2005]

English: I am with you always A lover had a blast But tomorrow is hidden from me And the battle is over Let's not look ahead Otherwise the road will not be wide Let's not be afraid though Because the threat is already here My spell will sizzle My spell shall sizzle I break it When I grow up I am with you always For a bank, up a hill The morning does not give a break But future is Þó my woe My spell will sizzle My spell shall sizzle A look for you A lifetime for me

[@LykkeAlex]

Not bad, but be mindful of Google translate. The lyrics are in Old Norse, and Google translate only has Modern Icelandic, which is a bit different from Old Norse. @@thomaskalbfus2005 The "My spell will sizzle" lines are especially off 😂

[@illalima6670]

Iclandic, pretty much ❤

[@LykkeAlex]

@illalima6670 Yeah, it's quite close. A bit like Shakespearean English and modern RP. The pronunciation is quite different, though.

[@benjamintherogue2421]

A music video of my dreams. I mean, that's how a lot of my dreams go, not that this is my dream music video. Excellent work from the band, the film crew, and everyone who made this possible. Bravo, I can't wait for more from you all. Everything you have produced thus far has been amazing.

[@itsnotaphasemom4789]

Kalandra’s music always finds some way to deeply resonate with me. My favorite line is “Tommorow is hidden from me” I am a chronic worrier about the future and this one line almost completely resolved most of my current anxiety about the next few days, weeks, and months to come.

[@agamersdiary1622]

from which song is the line?

[@itsnotaphasemom4789]

​@@agamersdiary1622 It's the translation of one of the lines in this song.

[@marieb3455]

[@norskluna]

Can't wait 😍

[@AndreasScharinger]

The long wait was definitely worth it - brilliant song, brilliant video, thank you!

[@SchleinOfficial]

I've been a long term fan of you guys, and every time you've released new music it's managed to strike such chords in me that I struggle to find words to describe. Every. Single. Time. And this is no different. I adore this slightly more aggressive sound and style, especially the descending guitars in the chorus. It's so simple, yet so incredibly powerful. And the visuals - so beautiful, so poignant, and so tasteful. Seriously, THANK YOU for bestowing unto the world this tour de force. I am literally shaking with excitement for what's to come.

[@MrValgard]

oh heavier tunes and faster tempo, but still with such gentleness in voice :3 amazing

[@bunnysvfd]

You just never disappoint. And I’m not ashamed of the fact that I listen to the Norse Lands soundtrack 8 million times a day.

[@kalleskaviar25]

Wonderful to hear a new song. Greetings from Sweden!

[@TheMachineMother84]

You guys are seriously my favourite band at the moment (perhaps ever). Katrine Stenbekk your voice is just so powerful, it transports me somewhere else... Don't know where, but I like it there.

[@longindigg2413]

Jestem pełen podziwu dla talentu i barwy jej głosu, niewiele jest artystów którzy potrafią w tak zwiewny sposób traktować swój głos jak kolejny instrument, i nie przeszkadzając w odbiorze całości powodują,, że po prostu odpływasz 😊 Pozdrawiam z Polski ✌️

[@matetarjanyi8168]

Well, this is probably the best song I have ever heard. I’m not exaggerating, it’s everything I love in any type of music mixed perfectly. I simply cannot wait to see you live again!

[@mathieu1257]

I saw them at hellfest and it was purely incredible, best concert of the 4 days and I can't wait to hear this song live.

[@ОльгаФокина-ь3б]

Чудово! Сильно! Моє відкриття😍 Дякую за таку потужну музику❤

[@sielentbrat4005]

I'm used to Kalandra being able of complex and meaningful lyrics and interesting music. But ALSO Kalandra being heavy? I love you even more!

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

Making use of heavy, violent, extremely dark and even shocking imagery, the video simbolically depicts and denounces the world we live in, as well as our frequent inner and emotional conditions. And fits perfectly to what is politically and socially going on on the planet. We are ALL CHAINED and DESPERATE ! And, amazingly, it's not so much different as from a long distant past. Humans don't change, most of them never learn anything with life and history... And, as to the music, I truly love Kalandra. Great band ! Best regards to all of you.

[@marthesimon9413]

Omg i cant wait. I‘m sooo excited that you are releasing new music 😍😍😍

I absolutely LOVE this! The video and the song. This song is now up there on my list of favorite songs along with Lullaby

[@radimsandr5141]

You guys made me happy by using the correct reconstructed pronunciation of Old Norse. Many bands just sort of flunk it. You clearly put some effort into researching it, possibly even studying it and it shows. Beautiful song, looking forward to seeing you in Prague soon!

[@abracadabra3335]

This song and video is just as good as i hoped it would be. Wow. A wonderful experience from start to end. The music is fire and the same goes for the video. Thank you Kalandra for yet another great song!!! 🤘🤘🤘💥💥

[@lunatick1564]

I like everything I have heard by Kalandra so far so I was excited to see this new video. Not what I expected, but YES!!! GIMME MORE! While this was a different style than I've heard from you prior, I can still tell it's Kalandra. You could do just about any style and It seems I will still love it. There is something about your band that really hits home for me. I look forward to seeing what comes next!

[@Mizakoe]

Wow! The sound of old norse is sooo good! And I love the atmosphere of the song. It is so heavy, dark and anxious. It evokes a feeling in me... similar to feeling when you are struggling with something inside your head and you are not winning. Something like drowning in your own chaotic heavy thoughts... and you don't give up but in the same time you are no longer able to breath.

[@laupdivad9352]

“‘Bardaginn’; (old norse) means ‘fight’ or ‘battle’, whether it’s experienced from within or out in the real world. The meaninglessness of it all, yet the importance for humans to find meaning in fighting for something, or someone… The video and the lyrics are a perfect match. Bravo Kalandra!
