about

In the Nordic tradition we welcome the kids into the family with a namegiving ritual called "knæsætning" - Knee sitting
When Gudrun makes this ritual, she always use this song, because the nornes are the most important here
Lyrics from Older Edda, Vóluspá
Tune by Gudrun.
Maria Ojantakanen is playing the lyre on this track

lyrics

Ðaðan koma meyjar
margs vitandi
Þríar ór þeim sæ
es und þolli stendr.
Urð hétu eina
aðra Verðandi
skóru á skíði
Skuld hina þriðju
Þær log logðu
Þær líf køru
alda bornum
ørlog seggja.

Dansk:
Da kommer møerne,
de meget vidende,
tre var de fra søen,
som under stammen ligger.
Urd er den ene,
den anden Verdande,
skåret i træ står,
at Skuld er den tredje.
De laver love,
de liv bestemmer,
for menneskers børn,
mænd og kvinders skæbne.
