Móðir mín í kví, kví (Icelandic Traditional Folk) | Nordic lullaby origins | Priscilla Hernandez

[@ivory9217]

This is absolutely beautiful. The pronounciation is great and the fact that you don't have an Icelandic accent on it makes it seem even more out of this world, because Icelandic probably sounded a bit different in more ancient times, and makes this sound like it's actually from ancient Iceland. This is very special.

[@yidneth]

Thank you so much. And also for making the for making the effort to leave such insightful encouraging comment. I do not speak Icelandic but I tried my best to listen to videos for foreigners. I love folklore, fairy and ghost tales. I've always felt intrigued by Icelandic elves and ghosts... and honestly I hope to be able to visit one day and see the auroras. Best regards, thanks very much for the encouraging words.

Such a perfect location for such a rhythmic, moody melody. It's done so beautifully with a haunting tone. Wonderful video!!

[@yidneth]

It is indeed bittersweet and rather intense in some ways

[@louisajohnkrol345]

Superb. Exquisite. Melancholy. Sweet. Sublime!

[@yidneth]

Thank you so much, Louisa. It is a very old Icelandic lullaby though I tried to add my own spin. I love a good old fashioned old ghost story

[@EstelaNaiad]

So beautiful, eerie and witchy 🖤 loved it

[@yidneth]

Gracias bellísima, aquí te espera el musguito siempre. La verdad es que me encantan las nanas y las historias de fantasmas así que me tentó mucho.

[@valdkynd]

I wish I could like this twice or more 💚🙏 I mean the context is eerie and awful, but the melody is very haunting and you made such a great video to go with your beautiful interpretation!

[@monsieurlevampire2606]

Such a magical lullaby, it surrounds me completely. So sweet, so bitter, so ethereal, so dark. I feel haunted by the landscapes where you dance this melody born beyond this world, and spellbound by the colours of your voice in this language so beautiful as the icelandic world is

[@yidneth]

This song has indeed a rather eerie story, I'd not say is scary but it is spectral, still it genuinely is a lullaby too. I tried my best to pronounce Icelandic, I'm bilingual English/Spanish but I had to spend a few nights listening to Icelandic lessons to make sure I was close to accurate. :)

[@monsieurlevampire2606]

@@yidneth The legend in wich this lullaby is based is darkly fascinating and a paradox with the sweetness of the music. And your icelandic is truly haunting in its sound. You almost seem trilingual :)

[@yidneth]

@@monsieurlevampire2606 there are some songs in Finnish and Latvian in the channel. Confession. I speak a bit of Japanese LOL XD I tried my best to pronounce but unfortunately I do not speak Icelandic, though I listened to a bunch of videos at night with headphones and now I know some basic sentences hahah. I would just listen and repeat XD not easy for me

[@NewAgeMusicPlanet]

Love the colours in this video and the singing and music is enchanting. Lovely :-)

[@yidneth]

Thank you, It features lots of acoustic instruments (mostly not shown on the video) like my dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, frame drum... but I kept the kantele and jouhikko on screen as they're both norse as the song. The song is a traditional but totally re-arranged in my mood, I love when a song has an interested back-story and I have a fascination for the spectral side. So I like to envision sometimes old lullabies and nursery rhymes, some get darker than this hahah This for example is Ring around the Rosie, probably one of the darkest videos in the channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJbSpKNjmNBnq5o Most of my music is fantasy folk and New Age but I have a ghostly side that flourish sometimes (lots of eerie whispering) and curiously those are the ones I enjoy the most (not people, maybe hahah)

[@kluanetakhini]

Absolutely beautiful and haunting sounding composition. Fascinating instrumentation. Super performance and wonderful video.

[@yidneth]

Thank you so much, this is a traditional icelandic lullaby but I made this particular arrangement, I make also my own original music but I love to cover some traditionals from time to time especially those with a supernatural spin :) thanks for stopping by :)

[@naturaureaurealopez]

Muy emocionante. Me encanta tu harpa y la historia muy triste pero formidablemente ejecución. 🤩

[@yidneth]

el instrumento es un kantele, también tiene otros nombres en otros países, es un pequeño instrumento tipo salterio típico de países del norte. De hecho el kantele siempre se ha relacionado con lo femenino y el jouhikko o talharpa (esa especie de violín) con lo masculino. Sí, la historia es triste, pero se le sigue cantando así a los niños hoy en día.

Amazing! I am Icelandic and have been reading this story (and all of the other ghost-folklore stories) since I was 6 or 7 years old. The story is not 100% like it is told in the video but it's about 98% right. You have a beautiful voice and your accent in Icelandic is amazing, specialy with this older Icelandic wich was spoken alot "harder" then it is today 😍

[@yidneth]

Thank you so much. I teied my best not to mispronounce but as non native you never know. I used some lessons on youtube and tried my best. Yes, I have been pointed out by another some details are not exact in the story. So I stand corrected. I researched as thoroughly as I could but as you are both from the country it is born I apreciate the feedback, done with best intention

If you have recommendations of other ancient traditionals they're always welcome. Thank you! :)

Icelandic and raised on the old stories. It was not the punishment but poverty and shame brought her to do it. She left it out in the cloth she used to wrap the child after birth, traditionally called dula. But after that nitpicking.... amazing work. I can see the old Goðs smile upon you. Could not imagine it sung better.

[@yidneth]

Are you from Iceland? It honours me you think that way. I'm from Spain so it is done out of respect for old folklore. And thanks for pointing that out, I humbly stand corrected.Though I also make my own original music I also take inspiration in old legends and stories and I think precisely there are so much wisdom and knowledge behind it. I hope I did not mispronounce it. It was done with the heart in the right place.

[@79Svenni]

@@yidneth you actually had the old laws correct. But they were at that time and place not enforced due to poverty. The local goðs (chiefs) did not enforce the punisgment becouse there were enough problems. Just in the old story it is not said outright, but she was in love, got pregnant, but the unknown father left her. It is not said clearly, so this is absolutely no fault of yours.

[@79Svenni]

@@yidneth actually... in the old stories they tell of a different story of Adam and Eve. They lived in paradise and had many children. One day God would come to visit. The children had been playing and were dirty, needed to be washed. Adam and Eve did not have enough time to wash all, so they hid the children that were still dirty. God of course knew, and asked them where their children were. They claimed that they hid no child from God. God then got angry and cursed Adam and Eve and the clean children that whatever they hid from the eyes of God would be hid from them. And as such they and all their descendants could not see, hear or touch those who were hidden or their descendants to this day. By those stories we still can not see or hear them except if they wish it. As they were not cast out of Paradise they still know the old ways traditions and magic. Capable of far more grace and beuty than any of us. You have shown them great competition in your art. You might rival Huldufolk (The hidden people.)

@@79Svenni thanks for your insightful comments, I absolutely loved it, and kind of wish I had delve deeper, though tried my best. I was concerned also if my pronouncuation would be at least fair. I enjoy old lore, from many cultures and maybe because I am a musician I feel always always intrigued when a traditional song have that "storytelling" quality, as said above it is done with utmost respect and I stand corrected when not accurate.

My heritage is a mixed bag lol I am extremely pale and blonde (I would love a healthy tan and less photosensitive eyes) and my family has current German and Dutch relatives. But I bear my surname "Hernández" as a great part of canary islanders, most have the same surname not because we were family but because it was imposed on its aboriginal population "guanches" (in my island benahoritas) who were a mystery for long time speculated, because we were found and conquered by Spain when Columbus stopped on our way to América, but they lived in caves and stone age with a language derived from berber (part blonde too due to nor european migration) and Old High German. Most very fair with blue or green eyes too so they have been a long time discussion. There are enigmas still, but I proudly bear my "super common" surname with pride as it was imposed on indigenous. They navigation skills, pagan belief and loving in caves with stone tools. Same old story upon conquest they were assimilated or turn into slaves and baptized all with Hernandez, my surname. So hopefully I carry part of that ancestry too because I do love and miss my homeland. And pray for my tiny island, 2 months already being destroyed by a volcano 🌋

[@annatraustadottir4387]

The translation of the lyrics are not accurate. The second line does not mean Don't you worry about me, instead it means Don't you worry about that. Which makes more sense. The child ghost is telling it's mother not to worry about not having fine cloths to wear at the dance. That is what the mother is complaining about and thinking about. So the word "that" (því, in the lyrics), in the second line, is referring to her worries. So the translation would be My mother in the pen, pen/don't you worry about that, that/I will lend you my rag/My rag to dance in. Of course the ghost is referring to the rags that his mother wrapped it in when she left it to die. But not in the woods but rather somewhere in the hills/highlands.

Thanks for the insight, sadly the subs are hardcoded in the video so I cannot change it, hope it does not deviate much from the vibe. A fellow native also pointed out in comments some details about the story so I welcome the corrections and I stand corrected. I tried my best to be accurate as I love folklore and as musician songs with a story, so it is done with utter respect so I sincerely apologise for inaccuracies in translation or pronunciation as non native Icelandic. Thanks for pointing it out, I will try to correct it at least from the srts, about the ones encoded in the video those sadly I cannot change now, hope it does not deter from appreciating the intention. Best regards
