[@srjones8157]

She reminds me of Freya. Good with children, kind, takes control, beautiful, wonderful singer. She is Danish. She is a dream.

It's a joy to watch you while playing music.

[@polki802]

Love this band - found them by tracking the musicians involved in the wonderful Heilung LIFA concert and the magnificent drummer turned out to be none other than Jacob Lund. Major find for me - terrific music, don't understand a word of it but I get the gist and Mia is just lovely

[@lailalivsdatter549]

Ufattelig smukt. Tak❤️

[@MrLukanio1986]

Damn.. as a fan of slavic folklore...this is soooo good. I guess us Poles and Danes have some bit of similarities. Keep it up, Danish friends!

[@sirbattlecat]

I would say slavs and northern european people have the same roots if you go back far enough, so it'd make sense for there to be cultural similarities.

[@diogoamador4]

This is what makes ordinary life more enjoyable, for as long as you keep doing music like this, I can assure you that at least you keep burning my small soul of joy , thank you!

[@PaZaTz55]

i concur ;-)~

[@Parpinelli31]

Awesome song!!! Really nice... Greetings from Brazil!!!

[@ProjectblackOfficial]

Super flot og stemningsfuld video. Sjovt hvor alvorlige alle ser ud (ok, teksten indbyder til det). Var fornylig til koncert med Virelai i Odense og der var musikere og sangerinde virkelig glade og smilende hele tiden:)

[@sommerregn153]

Mange tak :-) Ja, de er fantastiske, også når de liveoptræder.

[@joalexsg9741]

As always, majestic, magical and mesmerizing Virelai! Tak skal du have and much love and respect from Brazil!

Awesome song, I ove this music

[@ChuckDeFuque]

Nøkken The Nøkk, he sits a-playing Can you hear the fiddle go? From the river you hear the melody It's the evil that here reigns He lures womenfolk to him It is you that hear him best He is playing to catch you Hear the melody coming from west If you go where the tones come from He will be lurking there He can change his shape Be like an eagle that roams From the river you hear the melody It is evil that reigns It is you that hear him best He is playing to catch you Can you hear the melody coming from west?

[@Vestlandsguten]

This is not the lyrics for this song. These lyrics are from a song by the band Lumsk, with a song of the same name.

[@natashazwartkruis5865]

Deilig sang!

I do not understand the language xD but I like the music

Hi, I made you a rough translation of it - hope it helps :) There steps a dance out in the kings yard And the kings daughter leads it Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes The Kings daughter leads it There dances knights with drawn swords The kings daughter pines for them Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes The kings daughter pines for them The song flew over field and brook It was heard by the Nøkk, that lays under water Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes It was heard by the Nøkk, that lays under water Up stands the Nøkk, he thought to himself “I wonder if that maiden would want me” He makes a horse from the clear water Saddle and brindle of golden sand The maiden smiles under hide “Oh, if only that knight was mine!” Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes “If only that knight was mine” He wraps his blue cloak around her Then they rode from the yard, none at all saw them They rode over stump, and they rode over beach His horse stops by such wild waters And they came out upon wild waves And the Nøkk drags the maiden towards the bottom of the sea Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes The Nøkk drags the maiden towards the bottom of the sea But the maiden sings so softly, she must slip from the Nøkk Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes She must slip from the Nøkk The maiden sang, despairingly, herself out of the arms of the Nøkk Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes Herself out of the arms of the Nøkk They must have heard, so far from that place How the Nøkk wept under the water Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes How the Nøkk wept under the water It can yet be heard, over bridge and pond How heartily that maiden sang Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes How heartily that maiden sang
