Wardruna - UruR Lyrics






Eg reiste i minnet
Tilbake til isen som fødde meg
Kjenner varmen frå pusten som
tødde meg – UruR

[English translation:]

In memory I travelled
Back to the ice that bore me
Feel the warmth from the breath that
thawed me – UruR

  6. �.... �....

    Finally i've found

  7. J.... A....

    Have you ever met a person whos eyes turned dark in rage? - Once they had a name. Beserkers.... Now they call it a disorder.

    Initial transformation, finding the inner beast, the inner bear.
    The blood starts to boil.. Fight is comming....
    Horns of war blasts, it begins!
    Absolute rage. No emotion, nothing but emptiness.
    Looking around, all is burning, all is destruction, all is empty - but the monotone of rage.
    War is not beatifull, war is a state of mind...

    Second blast of horns, the fight is over.
    Chanting brings me back, brings me back from the bear that consumes me...
    "I traveled in memory,
    back to the ice that bore me,
    feeling the warmth of the breath that thawed me"

    The ice that cools the fire, it calms the blood, slowly chanting...

    UruR*

    My artistic translation calls UruR the latin word for beserkers. (Ursa being bear in latin)

  32. A.... G....

    I very like! Thank you Tatiane Akemy Oshiro for this gift!

  33. f.... d....

    i got the three album of Wardruna and made up a playlist of the rune in the right order and this is strange the three album or repeated like a cycle. Someone know why ?

    f.... d....

    Émile d'Amboise I have to try this! Btw do you end on dagaz or othila?

    f.... d....

    well, a guess would be that the Norse cosmology is cyclical. Einar hints at this in various interviews and stresses that point that Ragnarok isn't an end. It is a rebirth.

    f.... d....

    @Kelly Cook Ragnarok is just one end of the gods. Life will go on without us or them, Nature does not need us. In the Nordic cosmogony the universe work upon cycle over cycles. The four seasons, birth life death, day and night, construction thriving and destruction to construct something else..... In the ragnarok Odin does not fight Fenrir wiitch is embodiment of chaos Odin being the embodiment of wisdom he join the chaos throwing itself in the mouth of Fenrir. By this act he is one of the few gods that came back once Ragnarock end....when humanity find wisdom again....

  34. N.... d....

    excelent tatiane

  35. I.... R....

    >10 dislikes.

    >the humanity isn't ready yet

    I.... R....

    It's 49 now, those people probably like Britney Spears and Beyonce type music lol

  36. E.... O....

    Incredible haunting spiritual sound 🔊 but hey this Is am amazing group of musicians

  37. E.... B....

    I think that, this song, and a mushroom, or a kk,´d leave you talking to trees, time to try it

    E.... B....

    mushrooms are great while this song plays.

  38. C.... Z....

    Mesmerizing!! 💘

  39. D.... P....

    I wish I could forget this song after I hear it, just so I can hear that beautiful horn at the beginning for the first time again.

    D.... P....

    Gotta love the bukkehorn.

    D.... P....

    I saw Wardruna live in November, the only way I can describe the experience when the first lur sounded at the start of this song is that it was a religious experience.

  40. H.... H....

    shine on you crazy diamond goes pagan.

  41. A.... ....

    Power and beauty, love it, had to buy the album, ty for sharing this awesome music <3

  42. R.... T....

    If I wanted to replicate the sound of the "Lur" used in this song, how long should it be?

  43. N.... T....

    Währe bei dieser Musik gern in der Methalle um den alten Göttern zu huldigen. Danke

    N.... T....

    Ich sehe Odin wie er gegen Fenrir reitet

  44. C.... ....

    This is amazingly powerful. Reminds me of everything. Being a child, running barefoot in the grass, going to church with my grandmom, the smell of wet earth after rain, my uncle's farm, sheepherders calling from the hills. I can feel the cold evening breeze and hear dogs barking in the distance. So simple, clean and effective. Thank you!

  45. A.... M....

    There is cd to buy and a vinyl if you want and Bandcamp when they are sold out cd's and vinyls

  46. L.... F....

    great music

  47. S.... S....

    This song makes me want to time travel back to the Viking ages, fight in battles, and if I am worthy, the Valkyries would send me to Valhalla where I'd dine with the Nordic warriors and the Gods.

    Uruz – Rune Meaning



    “Mind over matter – matter over mind”

    Uruz – “Oo – Ruse” – Literally: “Aurochs” – Esoteric: Endurance, Formation, Manifestation

    Key Concepts: life force, physical health, courage, organic structure, manifestation, formation, healing, vigor, endurance


    Psi: determination, persistence, freedom, courage, will, territoriality, independence

    Energy: Vital formative force, archetypal patterning, raw primal power, survival, healing, endurance, manifestation, organic structuring

    Mundane: physical health, stamina

    Divinations: Strength, constancy, vitality, tenacity, pattern, luck, health, pragmatic knowledge, understanding; or weakness, obsession, misdirected force, inconstancy, sickness, ignorance, uncontrolled rage, insensitivity, brutality

    Governs:
    Shaping and forcing fortunate circumstances creatively through will and inspiration
    Self-healing and maintenance of good mental and physical health
    Assertion of home ground, personal space, independence and freedom
    Strength and tenacity, courage, persistence against all odds
    Ability to control aggression and take responsibility
    Rites of passage, especially into adulthood

    My notes:

    While FEHU is the symbol of a domesticated cattle, and Uruz is a symbol of the wild bovine, a reminder that cattle were once wild creatures. If Fehu represents young lovers, Uruz represents young warriors.

    Though Uruz energy is also heavily invested in the hamingja, it is not suited for easy, conscious control as Fehu is. It is the rune of powerful unconscious shaping energies that need to be guided wisely as they manifest. It is an early reminder within the series that the untamed powers of creativity are not without danger – a reality quite clear in our modern technological civilization. It is the user’s skill and practiced techniques that will control the energy unleashed by this rune. It is the rune of independence, asserting oneself and one’s territory.

    Life’s persistence and its endless resourcefulness in the task of survival are all implicit within the rune meaning of Uruz, thus it is a rune of manifestation, regeneration and endurance. The organic patterning energy of Uruz laces up the skin, sustains the ego and can be used to protect the psyche from trauma. Self-healing is the energy which pulls a diseased or ill form back toward its ‘primal blueprint’: the original, invisible shape intended by nature’s design.

    Uruz is the rune of the inner-King and inner-Queen. We can assert our right to exist and be free in the very same primal authority that the aurochs did theirs. It is the will to live passionate and free.

    Uruz is linked to the god Thor and so continues on toward THURISAZ.

    n.... ....

    pretty cool but i think its Urur, and its linked to fate, let me be lazy and copy paste
    Urðr (Old Norse "fate"[1]) is one of the Norns in Norse mythology.[1] Along with Verðandi (possibly "happening" or "present"[2]) and Skuld (possibly "debt" or "future"[need quotation to verify][3]), Urðr makes up a trio of Norns that are described as deciding the fates of people. Urðr is attested in stanza 20 of the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá and the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning.

    Urgammel.Ur is aword we use in norwegian when we speak of something really old or ancient.Gammel means old,but UrGammel means very old,like in the beginning of time.

    h.... ....

    Toland Belmar that is not the case. If you want to know more about the etymology of the Futhark writing systems I suggest Dr. Jackson Crawford, an old Norse professor here in the states. he has a wonderful YouTube channel.

    h.... ....

    If you extract the similarities between faroese, icelandic and WESTERN norwegian, then you've got the right idea.

    h.... ....

    We swedes say:urgammalt.

    h.... ....

    Just as we do in Svitjod to

    Åh du URgamla du fria nord.

    Länge leve Skandinavien och dess folk.

    h.... ....

    Same in german. "Ursprung" means beginning/origin/source; "Urahnen" means ancestors; and so on...

    Funny that gammel is "old" in norwegian. In german we say "vergammelt" when food is very old and bad.

  52. M.... G....

    I felt like marching to War

  53. C.... B....

    trumpets !! work so well... hildofr Out!!

    C.... B....

    Its not trumpets :) Its "lur" as we call it in Norway, dont know the English word, but they were used in other Germanic cultures as well as Celtic, im sure more used them too.

    Eg reiste i minnet
    Tilbake til isen som fødde meg
    Kjenner varmen frå pusten som
    Tødde meg - UruR
    --
    In memory I travelled
    Back to the ice that bore me
    Feel the warmth from the breath that
    thawed me - UruR

    A.... K....

    This is crazy if that's what that says. Cuz I have memories, from even before my first childhood memories,..of a vast frozen land. My mother was there. She held my hand as we walked through the frozen lands, coming upon a giant Hand sticking up out of the ice.


    I could instantly tell it wasn't dead. It was just stuck, there until the end of times when it thaws out, and is set free.



    I felt the sorrow of that area, as if it were the sight of a former cosmic battleground..



    That memory is the first, and oldest memory I have..

  55. N.... K....

    Awesome - shivers down the spine - bringing old ways - sounds back to life!!! Great music!

  56. m.... ....

    fucking amazing !

  57. A.... ....

    My second favourite track on the album. An enjoyable interpretation of the rune with its steadily beating drums and sparsely used vocals.

  58. n.... ....

    SKÅL! La oss minnes våre forfedre. La oss drikke til deres minne. La oss bli omfavnet av deres evighet!

  59. A.... ....

    Eg reiste i minnet
    Tilbake til isen som fødde meg
    Kjenner varmen frå pusten som
    Tødde meg - UruR

    __English translation__
    In memory I travelled
    Back to the ice that bore me
    Feel the warmth from the breath that
    thawed me - UruR

  60. D.... ....

    Is that a bear wuffing or is that a Lion chirping?

    D.... ....

    This clearly bear. in their culture after all, they were warriors wearing bearskin - called berserk.

    D.... ....

    The roar we can hear is from a european bull, as the idea is to hear the roar of the auroch, wich is now extinct...So Einar took a bull....

    D.... ....

    It's Fenrir you idiots!

    D.... ....

    ,my mother-in-law, when she diesnt take her prozac!

    D.... ....

    @Lawree Clemens you're the only idiot to think that. Wolves don't make gutturals like that. Bears get CLOSE but not the same. Its a European bull

  61. R.... R....

    muito bom!!!

  62. W.... R....

    To me, this song brings thoughts of Fenrir leading the charge to Asgard. The horn is the sound of Gjallarhorn blown by Heimdall. When Einar starts singing, it makes me think of Odin charging to fight Fenrir and ultimately to meet his death.

    W.... R....

    I think that's exactly right.

    Tyr was about calling the AEsir to battle; UruR is the battle and the twilight of the gods.
    Isa follows, stillness.
    And then rebirth.

    Think Raido is misplaced on the album; probably should have been on Yggdrasil. Could see IngwaR here instead.
    But Pertho fits; and to end on Wunjo is just right.

    W.... R....

    True, it is the ultimate war song. I totally agree with you.

  63. B.... ....

    sharpen the axes, polish the shields, ready yourself for battle we will either come home boasting of our victory or we shall be carried home on our brothers shields may the gods favor us this day

    B.... ....

    We come from the land of the ice and snow... from the midnight sun
    where the hot springs blow.

    B.... ....

    The Uruz rune (Ur in the approximately 250 year span of the viking era) is associated with the Auroch, an extinct European bison. It has long been a symbol of strength. This rune is also associated with the forge. From one of the rune poems, "dross comes from bad iron". Dross is a byproduct of metal forging and the poetic implication here would be a connection to the forging of one's self. There is no connotation of war here, and this symbol is far older than the viking folk whom left Scandinavia in search of plunder and "glory". I would also add, that I think this song is particularly speaking about the rebirth of one's self through mastery of one's self. Reflection, redress, and growth.

    "In memory I traveled back to the ice that bore me; feel the warmth of the breath which thawed me."

    The rebirth of your soul as you grow through your life. The never ending patterns in nature which we all take part in; life through death and death through life.

    B.... ....

    Do you have any source on that? Would love to read it!

    B.... ....

    The Norse story of creation fits here as does the moment when the Alfodr gave breathe to Ask and Embla

    B.... ....

    Randomstuffsco it is said that even Odin was of a more feminine character so yes we cry but we’ll get back up and stab you with our sword 10 spears in our chest or not we are gods

  64. b.... ....

    this song started to play when i was on a red light i freaked out for a minute because i thought an actual horse was next to me on the red light XD

    blackops2960 wow 😳 hope you are ok

    This is also the meaning of the song. Einar wanted to effect a time journey into the older period.

    +ItsNotaTuhmah this is the most funny thing i have read in a while xD there is NO such evidence, and if you think cult-related similarities are good argument, you know nothing. Read japanese mythology and on this base tell me that they had contact or even started greek civilisation... srsly this South american wannabees... xD

    P.... M....

    The evidence IS there. Not just archeological, but genetical as well, as even the Icelanders found recently. Get some books.

    P.... M....

    anyone who thinks that is a dumbass all nations who went to war and won took  their spoils of war back then it wasnt rape they were slaves.....captured after battles as spoiles of war and Vikings most deffinetly 100% were not the first to do this...........if you think people around that time respected their women as much as vikings did you are also a dumbass

    P.... M....

    the frisian and northen85star what is the point of this arguement u both type and type and type i cant read all that. did u ever start to think u guys might be going a bit overboard with this arguement. megi Oðin vernda þig og megi þór vera með þér
