Original lyrics and English translation:
Grá
Gamle Grå…
Eg hugsar ringen før den brotna
Songen din rørar djupt i meg
Som taumar rakt frå minna dreg
Eg finn ikkje ord, dei er for meg gøymd
Men det er noko gamalt, det er noko gløymd
Eg hugsar når du jaga fritt
Eg hugsar når me jaga saman
Eg hugsar oss, før vegen skildes
Eg hugsar ringen før den brotna
Alltid var på meg, og eg på deg
Alltid var på deg, og du på meg
Berre spring til mine skogar
Berre jag i mine fjell
Før din flokk til mine dalar
Lat oss laga ringen heil
Eg skal syngje deg vegen heil
Eg skal syngje heimat heil
English translation:
Grey
Old Grey…
I recall the ring before it broke…
Your song stirs something deep within
Like chords pulling straight from memory
I can’t find the words, they still remain veiled
Yet I know it is old, I know that it’s forgotten
I remember when you roamed freely
I remember when we roamed together
I remember us before our paths got separated
I remember the ring before it broke
Always wary about you, and you about me
Always wary about me, and I about you
You may run to my forests
Roam freely in my mountains
Lead your pack to my valleys
Let us restore the ring
I shall sing you safe on your way
I shall sing you safely home

I want to live in a society where this is what is played on the radio

Wadruna in every song: "Shoes can go to Hel."

Listen to this during a thunderstorm. Don't ask questions, just do it.

I am standing in castle ruins at the top of a mountain, looking over to Turkey and Syria, listening to Wardruna. This is what life is about, and I am blessed to be here

The woman's voice is just magical

You know you're a badass when you have a therapy wolf.

I devoted a significant part of my academic existence to understanding Norse and Germanic cultures. It may sound dumb, but Grá felt like the ultimate vindication for all those hours of devotion.

you know that it's powerful when you start crying without even knowing what they are saying

This is what the world needs now, powerful.

When Wardruna sing a new song, the Gods gather to listen to them.

This was my daughter' favourite song when she was 2.5yo. She would always say "daddy i want the wolf song" after she saw/heard me play this video on youtube once.
-
Current obsession: This song.
-
I live at the same time as Wardruna, . . . I am grateful for that.
-
I love wardruna's minimalism in their videos: nothing fancy and over the top that could make them appear like nordic hippies. They are serious when it comes to Nordic culture and history
-
The power in this song is immense, it awakens something in my soul that has been long forgotten 💔
-
From 2023 ! I wish peace in the world

The healers are being called on a global scale. "Mend this broken ring" connect us back to the source of creation.

"So what's your preferred instrument?" "The bones of my foes"

When the woman went "WOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOooooWAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAHHH", I felt that

The similarities in Native American and Norse chant is astounding .
