Palästinalied in Old Norse - Jórsalaljóð

Here’s my translation and performance of the one and only Palästinalied, the greatest crusader song of all time, in Old Norse. It was written in the 13th century in Middle High German. It is an amazing piece as it is one of the few songs of yore whose melody is actually known to us.
Getting the ABABCCC rhyming scheme into Norse from the German was… interesting, to say the least, but I’m really pleased with how it went, even if some of them are just half-rhymes. I didn’t want to change the actual meaning of the song, so any adjustments thereto are really just superficial. The instruments I’m playing are a talharpa and a basic wooden flute.

Lyrics:
Sýnisk mér’k á lífi vera,
þvít mitt synda auga sér
þá jǫrð ok land it helga,
er gefin dýrð mikil er.
Svá kom þat, er ek æ bað;
ek em kominn á þann stað,
þar er Guð mannliga trað!
Lǫnd rík ok heiðr svá,
sem hefk annarstaðar sét.
Heiðr þeira ert Þú allra.
Hvat barsk at furðna hér!
Þat at mey ein fǿddi barn,
Dróttin sveita engla!
Var þat ei furða in mesta?
Hér lét inn hreini sik skíra,
svá at maðr hreinn vera megi.
Þar keyptu þeir Hann inn dýra,
svát þrælir frjálsir verðim!
Annars værim vér týndir!
Heil séu spjót, kross ok þyrnir!
Vá þér, heiðinn, þat þik pínir!
Þaðan til Helvítis reið sonr,
ór grǫf þeirri, er Hann lá.
Því Hann var fǫrunautr Fǫður
ok Anda, er skilja ei má.
Sem ǫrvarskapt beinn,
Þrír er sannliga Einn,
svá var Abrahami reynt.
Er Hann djǫful hafði skamman,
betr en mættu gæðingar,
aptr hingat á jǫrð steig Hann.
Þá hófsk angr gyðinga,
þvít Hann Dróttin komsk undan,
ok þá á lífi sásk Hann,
þeira, er hǫndum slógu grǿðarann.
Kristnir, gyðingar ok heiðnir
kveða at landit arfr sé þeim.
Guð at réttu fari dǿmir
í nǫfnum sínum þrem.
Heimr allr stríðir hér,
en tilkall rétt eigum vér.
Réttvísi Guð þat oss berr!

German Crusaders: *Make the hardest pop the levant has ever known.* Norsemen:Yo this hits diffrent lets get this in norse so we actually know what the hell there saying.

[@otmargreb6110]

Stances are a little off. Barn and Megli.. But a nice translation, especially if you understand Icelandic!

[@SkaldBard]

@@otmargreb6110 Hey, cheers. I think when rhyming, vowel quality is the most important thing, and the vowels still adhere to the rhyming scheme here - but I was mostly focused on not changing the meaning too much so had to make some compromises!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

This is a pretty song, the Norse version being the best version - however, it’s important for all to know that the V in Norse is pronounced like a normal V sound, same as in Icelandic, not as an U / W sound (there is no W sound in West Norse) tho it may have been pronounced as U / W in very early Norse / Proto Norse and in East Norse in some words as that was also reflected in the spelling with W instead of V, but in normal West Norse it was pronounced V, which is why the spelling was also modified to V to reflect the new pronunciation, because West Norse words flow better and sound better with a V sound, and even Icelandic and Faroese have the V sound, but many times ppl that teach the Norse pronunciation confuse early Norse and East Norse pronunciation with the normal West Norse pronunciation that is supposed to be used in most Norse texts and stories! Regarding the é vowel, in Norse é with accent is pronounced like a normal i sound, or more like, between a normal i sound and a normal e sound, like the é in Hungarian, and in certain words like a normal e sound, depending on the word and on what sounds better and easier for each word, which is also the reason why vér and ér are were modified to wīr and īr in Ancient Swedish, as the ī sound is close to the é sound in West Norse and in East Norse, so, in Norse é isn’t an ye sound like in Icelandic, and one can definitely tell that it’s not supposed to be ye as Norse words don’t sound right with the ye sound, and even in Icelandic only a few words have the ye sound which are usually short words like ég and þér, but still, the ye sound is a more ‘modern’ pronunciation rule that is only in Icelandic and Swedish, so even Faroese doesn’t have this pronunciation rule, but if West Norse would have had this pronunciation rule with ye too, it is most likely that both Icelandic and Faroese would have had it, as Norse languages in general are very conservative languages, and even the Norwegian languages still have mostly words that are cognates and an aspect that still reminds of Norse and that looks very Nordic, despite the oversimplification of grammar and some differences in spelling! I shall share the right Norse pronunciation rules, which is also going to be very helpful for all learners that are trying to learn Norse at the moment! But overall, it’s a very good song, the melody is pretty and Norse lyrics always look so poetic and artistic, as Norse is one of the prettiest and most poetic languages ever, with gorgeous words that are refined and cool, so Norse is perfect for lyrics and poetry, and Gothic too! So, I would highly suggest creating a lot more Norse and Gothic sounds, and also more Proto Germanic songs as it’s not easy to find much content in Proto Germanic (I noticed that it’s quite similar to Gothic and some words are the same) and, maybe even in Proto Norse because I don’t think I have every seen how Proto Norse words really are and am not sure if a certain song I know of is really in Proto Norse or another Proto language such as Proto West Germanic maybe, because I have never seen Proto Norse words that one would know for sure that they are in Proto Norse, and it would definitely be nice to see some lyrics in this language and compare the words to the Norse words!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

By the way, I am upper intermediate level in Norse and advanced level in Icelandic, and I have the right Norse pronunciation, which is the most logical, and by the way, I will use DH for the TH sound in the English words this and that, which is the approximant of D and not the approximant of T like the TH in the English word think, and I will use AO for the ‘closed’ A sound that is like an A and O sound said 2gether in one sound (similar to the A sound in Hungarian) that melts into a soft O sound! For example... - hvat sounds like hvat or vat or kvat - mæra sounds like mera - ávast sounds like avast - nágrindr sounds like naogrind:r - líkligr sounds like liklig:r or likliguhr - frænda sounds like freinda or freoynda or frenda - þat sounds like that - ræðir sounds like reidhir - hárr sounds like haruhr or har:r (could have also been har / harr) - gæfr sounds like gev:r or gevuhr - hverfa sounds like hverva or verva or kverva (any of them or all 3 could’ve been used) Also... - hæll sounds like heyl - saltr sounds like solt:r - mæla sounds like mala - drápa sounds like drapa or dropa - kæra sounds like kaera or kaira - ferr sounds like fer:r - jafna sounds like yavna - hœgri sounds like heoyri - girðing sounds like girdhing - hádegi sounds like haodegi - ørendislaust sounds like eorendislaust The word... - verr sounds like ver - ekki sounds like eki or ehki - þverra sounds like thverra - gegna sounds like gekna - vefja sounds like vevya - yfir sounds like ɪvɪr as in Icelandic - ætla sounds like etla - ofn sounds like ovn - náliga sounds like naoliga - sauma could have been pronounced either saima or seoyma like in Icelandic or both or even sauma as it is written - ofleti sounds like ofleti The emphasis of stress in Norse languages such as Norse and Icelandic etc is always at the beginning of the word - for compound words made of multiple smaller words, one should add a bit of stress at the beginning of each word that the compound word is made of and the most stress always at the beginning of the compound word... I don’t think there was any fixed way of pronouncing the diphthongs, and it’s most likely that the pronunciation of diphthongs such as AU would differ depending on the word, including pronunciations such as ai / au / ao / eoy / oy / ey etc, and it may have also differed depending on the region and accent, and the Æ in Norse can have many pronunciations, depending on the word, so it can sound like e / ei / a / eoy / oey / uey / ai / ea / ae etc, depending on what sound sounds best and the most natural and easiest to say in each word, so one should use one’s intuition a lot in Norse... The Rs are always different depending on the region and depending of the speaker in every language, but in Germanic languages, a soft normal R is usually used by most speakers and by younger speakers, and I highly recommend using a soft normal R in Norse and in all other languages that aren’t English as soft Rs have the best and most refined sound, soft Rs that are pronounced as fast as possible being the types of Rs that truly suit such refined languages as Norse and the other Germanic languages, whereas hard or prolonged or thrilled Rs sound very harsh and unrefined... By the way, it’s also important to know that in Norse and Icelandic the G is usually pronounced like a K sound, especially at the end of the word, and in many words the G is pronounced K even in the middle of the word, and there are also some words where the G is pronounced as a K even when it is at the beginning of the word, so it is normal to hear a lot of K sounds when there is a G in spelling - for example, lots of speakers of Icelandic will pronounce even the G in góðan (góðan daginn) as a soft K sound, without even realizing, and this pronunciation rule comes from Norse!

I love this song. As a son of a mixed union, I went to the Holy Land as a Jewish soldier, but the stones of the crusader castles called to my crusader ancestry. Now I am Orthodox Christian and my patron saint was a modern Palestinian Christian martyr. May God have mercy on the land of his birth and its people.

[@arnoldistven1787]

Thank you brother for so much painstaking work. To take an ancient complex song and translate it into an even more ancient language, which has not been spoken for a thousand years, requires not only skills, but also patience,all the more so in such difficult times, when such songs, ballads and legends are supported by enthusiasts, we honestly lack, and the Ministry of "culture" is ashamed of its own past, its own roots. Personally, I like the aestetics of the Crusades, Vikings, Germans, Saxons, etc. Knights, runes, rites and battles, the content will be enough for many more films and games, the subject matter is huge. There is nothing wrong with honoring your past, whatever it may have been, Greetings from Hungary ! I think we had a lot of common with paganizm in our past. Köszönöm testvérednek a sok fáradságos munkát. Ahhoz, hogy egy ősi összetett dalt lefordítsunk egy még ősibb, ezer éve nem beszélt nyelvre, nem csak készségekre, hanem türelemre is szükség van. Annál is inkább ilyen nehéz időkben, amikor ilyen dalokat, balladákat, legendákat tartanak olyan lelkesek, akiket őszintén hiányolunk, és a „kultúra” minisztérium szégyelli saját múltját, saját gyökereit. Én személy szerint szeretem a keresztes hadjáratokat, vikingeket, germánokat, szászokat stb. Nincs abban semmi rossz, ha tiszteli a múltját, bármi is volt az, Üdvözlet Magyarországról Azt hiszem, a múltunkban sok közös volt a pogánysággal.

I went out for dinner, and when I got home, there it was, a notification for this amazing piece. That tagelharpa sounds divine!

You're an absolute inspiration.

[@SkaldBard]

Thanks so much!

[@artistforthefaith9571]

I've been lurking because I didn't want to spam praise constantly, but your rendition of this song deserves it. The crusaders are often viewed as violent opportunists that cared for nothing but gold and land, but the inverse is actually true. So many nobleman sold their holdings and embarked on a strenuous journey into foreign lands, for nothing but the love of God and the defense of Christian lands. This song is the real mentality of the crusaders, men that loved something so much that they were willing to give their lives in defense of it. A wonderful piece of history that shows the crusaders as they truly were. Great work as always, friend, God bless you!

[@SkaldBard]

Amazing, simply amazing, the Norse version of Palanistalied is just wonderful and especially it's rythm, slow but intense, plus the almost god-like voice that this masterpiece is sang with makes everything even nicer, then the meaning of this song and even the use of the ABABCCC rhyme with the Norse touch, i'm speechless. Your channel is way too underrated for someone with such talent, and pieces like this one are the proof, i seriously hope that such songs will become popular and you will be on the spotlight of such genre. All the other Skalds are absolutely getting thrashed by your works of art, ancient Norse is a very difficult language and not only you mastered it, but also other old languages like Old Anglo-Saxon and Old Swedish, these abilities are extremely rare and you, blessed with such miracle, is using them to your maximum, producing such wonderful pieces. Hope for the best from Italy.

Wow you worked hard on this comment! You deserve answers to it! To me, this seems impressive, but I don't know the Old Norse runes. :(

[@servantofaeie1569]

@@jamesbatesibusquets7617 It took me a couple hours. Here, I can give you an overview of the Runes here. Younger Fuþark: long branch (the first line): ᚠ f ᚢ v, u, ú, y, ý, o, ó, ø, ǿ ᚦ þ, ð ᚬ á (only when nasal) ᚱ r (when from Proto-Germanic *r) ᚴ k, g, nk, ng ᚼ h ᚾ n ᛁ i, í, j, e, é ᛅ a, á, ę, æ, ǫ ᛋ s, z ᛏ t, d, nt, nd ᛒ p, b, mp, mb ᛘ m ᛚ l ᛦ r (when from Proto-Germanic *z) ᛅᚢ au, ey ᛅᛁ ei Letters are not doubled. -rr is spelled ᚱ, not ᚱᛦ as you might think. Some common words have fossilized archaic spellings based on older pronunciations, such as: ᚢᛒ um < umb ᛁᛋ er < es ᛅᚢᚴ ok < auk Younger Fuþark: short branch (the second line): Works the exact same way as long branch, but with a few letters with simplified forms: ᚭ < ᚬ ᚽ < ᚼ ᚿ < ᚾ ᛆ < ᛅ ᛌ < ᛋ ᛐ < ᛏ ᛓ < ᛒ ᛙ < ᛘ ᛧ < ᛦ Medieval Fuþork (the third line): A mix of the first two with some added letters to resemble the Roman script more. Dotted letters are optional. ᚠ f ᚡ f (voiced) ᚢ u, ú, v, (y, ý) ᚦ þ, (ð) ᚧ ð ᚮ o, ó ᚰ ǫ ᚯ ø, ǿ ᚱ r (regardless of origin) ᚴ k, (g) ᚵ g ᚶ ng (only attested once) ᚼ h ᚾ/ᚿ n ᛁ i, í, j, (e, é) ᛂ e, é, j ᛆ a, á ᛅ ę, æ ᛋ/ᛌ s, (z) ᛍ/ᛎ z ᛏ/ᛐ t, (d) ᛑ d ᛒ b, (p) ᛔ/ᛕ p ᛘ m ᛚ l ᛦ/ᚤ y, ý
