For anyone interested, this ballad was first published in 1915 in a Faroese nationalist newspaper - it is about the Viking-Age character Tróndur waking from the dead, sending his friend Geyti to see what the situation was in the islands, and Geyti reports to him how things have become (in the early 1900s), and the Viking-Age Tróndur is left disappointed. In other words, the text signifies the author's disappointments with the current society of the Faroes at the time and yearns for a return to a romanticised past.

Thanks. I was scrolling through the comments to find the explanation for the video. But with those young people keeping the dance alive around the fire, he should not return disappointed.

To calm the viking Tróndur down in the 21st century a multicultural and multiracial choir sings again the song; I'm sure he will love it.

If I didn't read the subtitles, this would've been pretty intimidating story about some ancient wizard preparing for battle to avenge himself. Instead, he was hit hard by civic development and grain-based economy. And he wasn't even furious, he was just disappointed, as he and his friend hung their head low. He and his friend would likely carve strongly-worded runestones to their local jarl about it.

Being this a Faroese nationalist song written around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, it sees two legendary figures from the isles' tales and history frowning upon how low their Country fell through the ages, since the advent of Christianity, especially Trondur (the wizard) who was the one that in the year 1000 cursed the christian missionaries that came to convert the Farœ Islands, summoning a storm and sinking their fleet.

@PolarFilms4 жыл бұрын
Not to our knowledge. We were doing a film project with him around the same time so we asked him if he would do the translation as we knew his faroese and english were excellent. I believe he once mentioned in a conversation we had and I quote, that he was a "language nerd" :).
