This track is comming fom the younger Edda, and came out fist on Tjamtjalas” cd: Futh”. It's very good at funerals, and when you are honoring the gone ones at the ritual.
Line Tjørnhøj Thomsen has made the tune, and Kamilla Prins is the one who is singing.
lyrics
Ok ef allir hlutir í heiminum
kykvir og dauðir, gráta hann
þá skal hann fara til ása aptr
en haldask með Hejlu,
með Hejlu ef nökkurr
ef nökkurr mælir við,
eða vill eigi gráta
Grátinn, Grátinn, Grátinn ór Helju
En allir gerðu þat, Mennirnir ok kykven-
din ok jorðin, ok steinarnir
ok tré ok allr malmr
svá sem þú munt sét hafar,
at þessir hlutir gráta
þá er þeir koma ór frost, ór frosti ok í hita
Grátinn, Grátinn, Grátinn ór Helju
Dansk:
Hvis alle ting i verden,
levende og døde
vil græde for ham
Da skal han komme
hjem til aserne igen.
Men forbliver her hos mig,
her hos mig i Hel,
hvis nogen
nægter at græde.
Begrædt,
Begrædt
Begrædt ud af Hel
Og alle gjorde dette,
mennesker og alt
levende og jorden,
og stenene,
og træ og alt metal,
sådan som du har set
set disse ting græde,
når de kommer fra frosten
fra frosten og i varmen ind.
i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
