Wardruna - Wunjo Lyrics






No hev oska lagt seg
Verda er grå og grødelauss
Spring spirar upp frå si grav
Spring dei sigrande upp
til sin første dag

Eg er ikkje stor
Men tida på jord
Vil eg nyttje og nå
Opp til himmelen blå
Renn tårane strie
Tå glede og sorg
For alt som fekk plass
For alt som gav plass

For spirar som blomar
For hjartet som sler
Renn tårane strie
Tå glede og sorg
For alt som fekk plass
For alt som gav plass
Renn tårane frie
Frå skyane grå

Upp or Jordi
Ris mot soli
Rein er kjensla
Wunjo!

Føter små
I verda trå
Utan stans,
I ringen danser
Wunjo!

[English translation:]

The ashes have fallen
The earth grey and barren
Sprout spring from their grave
Victorious they spring
to their first day

I may not be big
But my time here on earth
I shall use and reach
Into the blue sky
Tears fall freely
From joy and from sorrow
For all that got place
For all that gave place

For the sprout which flowers
For the beating heart
Tears fall freely
From joy and sorrow
For all that gave glace
For all that got place
Tears fall freely
From the grey clouds

Up from the soil
Rise towards the sun
Pure is the feeling
Wunjo!

Little feet
Shall roam the earth
With no stop,
the ring is danced
Wunjo!

  6. C.... L....

    Woow no sé como llegué acá pero creo que valió la pena... Que épica y asombrosa canción!! 💕😮

  7. B.... ....

    epic like nothing else!

  8. a.... ....

    My brothers, we know not where we go in this battle of life, but all I can tell you is that you must keep the advance, shield high, shouting with fire at the top of your lungs, and the bottom of your soul. The cold of the winter knows no bounds or mercy, and every day may be the day we are sent to the ever-glowing halls of our forebears. So hoist those tankards, find someone to love, and keep the advance. Through snow and gale, through pain and broken bone, keep the advance.

    a.... ....

    Love this ❤️

  9. M.... ....

    What's the name of the Egyptian-ish sounding flute instrument?

  10. J.... L....

    tbh I would have rather not had the kids.

    J.... L....

    Its a Song about Joy, Happiness and Fulfillment. I think it is fitting to have Children sing there.

  11. C.... ....

    One of my favourite wardruna songs. Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell massively.

    C.... ....

    Yes ghost on the shell

  12. P.... H....

    The very best album of all times.

  13. D.... G....

    Total war Attila, Picts vs the Romans my soundtrack 😭

  14. G.... O....

    Maravilhoso!

  15. G.... D....

    I dont get it. Im 24 years old, grown man, rouglhy 110 kg. Ive had some really bad experiences in my life so far, tragedies even. Me myself, my friends and my family consider me very though skinned because of that. And thats true on daily basis. There really is not much that can turn me emotional. I may turn aggresive by some behaviours, but rarely i feel something... deep...

    But, somehow, each time i hear this song, each time i see the text, be it translated or original, tears flow to my eyes. Automatically. Like a little child. And i can do nothing about it, except having a break for a cigarette, hoping that noone will see me crying, like a baby.... Not like tears of sorrow. More like nostalgia. I feel like im missing something REALLY much... And to be honest its only song that have such an effect on me.
    Pertho? I'd drink to that, happily with my friends.
    Odal? Relaxing...
    Rotlaust Tre Fell? Id go to fight anything if it was my theme playing in the back.

    but THIS.... just... tears.... every goddamn time.

    Music can be really powerful...

    G.... D....

    I think it's not only about children's voices, but also the meaning of the song, that describes blooming of new life at the graves of fallen warriors, and eternal joy that is preserved within it. Or so I understand.

    G.... D....

    How do you feel when listening to Tyr or Runaljod?

    G.... D....

    You should try Heilung.

    G.... D....

    yeah life will harden most people, but dont kill your heart man. some tears are a sign of bravery and true man-hood IMHO

    Thank you 4 these tracks :)

  21. N.... S....

    Wunjo is joy

  22. I.... S....

    Sweden needs to return and reconnect to some traditional and historical roots to save it's children...

    I.... S....

    Yeah well... saying that people who violate everyday laws and order because their religion says so should be deported to country where their religion is majority is WAAAAAY different than those religious freaks saying that anyone who doesnt believe their god should be isolated, beaten, threatened or killed.

    On the other hand, mixing cultures CAN be a good thing. But only when those cultures and people WANT to mix. Welcoming an inferior culture, where violence is a way to go on everyday basis, with open hands is definately NOT good for local culture.

    Y'know, there is a reason that more and more Swedes (your country as you said) move to Poland, especially Pomerania. And its hard to believe they are moving because they had a sudden change of heart and felt more polish than swedish ;).

    And believe me, saying, in the time of internet and its resources at hand, that those middle eastern immigrants doesnt have acess to any form of education is just fooling yourself. Did you ever see photos of those "poor refugees, women and childre"? 90% of them are thugs in their 20's and nearly EVERYONE has a smartphone with internet connection...

    And majority of people who delve into islamic terrorism, are children or even grandchildren of middle-eastrn imigrants from 50s, 60s and 80s of XX century. Believe, they HAD acces to education. They just choose their way. Ill never believe that a guy in his 20s, 30s or 40s, have been "fooled" by some "eeevil people"... he made his own choice.

    I.... S....

    This is not a song for Sweden. This is for the few warriors among you. So very few. These songs are from warrior to warrior, common people forget this, even though they may help its inception.

    I.... S....

    Why talk about Sweden here? This is a Norwegian song, by a Norwegian band.

    I.... S....

    Save the children! Hail Odin. hail, the children. Before they are all lost to the new cult of IDEALS....

    I.... S....

    This is a Norwegian song, and xenophobia is not part of Sweden's traditions anyway, so why even bother to make such a ridiculous statement!

    Those lyrics are amazing. Perfectly matches the song.

    God Jul!

    Goed Joel !

  26. R.... ....

    This is really good...

  27. S.... ....

    Similar start to Ghost in the Dark, a Japanese production.

  28. S.... ....

    Slightly different than the other runes, mainly due to the children choirs, but still great. Remainds me of Slavic pagan rhythyms. However, at the end of a day, every pagan culture had similar music roots based on basic instruments, such as drums, horns, etc. Anyway, simply magnificent.

    S.... ....

    Definitely not Slavic. It's just pop music with folk instruments, which is sad, because I liked the first 2 albums.

    S.... ....

    Every opinion is subjective by definition, thus my associations connected with this music may be as I see them. Doesn't really matter whether it is or isn't similar to Slavic rhythyms. It is simply what comes to my mind while listening to it that's relevant.
    As to the second sentence, I see it quite differently. You have to look at and listen to Runaljod as a whole. Only then you can realize that the 3rd album is like Ragnarok itself, compared to the previous two.
    Therefore, the earlier recordings may seem more, let say mystical, whereas the new release is much more joyful. It embodies both the end and beginning of the great life and death cycle.
    But, as I have mentioned at the start, everybody has the right to write what he or she thinks, which is one of many charms of diversity.
    Skål!!!

    S.... ....

    SPAPZ of course, is one if the most colorful runes... the rune of happines!

  29. M.... ....

    Those kids sound awesome there!

    M.... ....

    Its Einar's children 😍

    M.... ....

    Not only actually. I'm not sure where the choir was from but I think it might have been the Oslo children choir or something.

    M.... ....

    Einar's children sing in Odal. Mighty Fiikus is right.

    M.... ....

    Michal I was in that choir singing in the song

    M.... ....

    @Erle Lysåker That's AMAZING!

  30. G.... A....

    Why is the accent getting a little german?

    G.... A....

    George Gtabeginner tiz true!

    G.... A....

    Keith Fenderson by the way, I see your point. A lot of Christianity is much as you said, but I hasten to say that that is not all of Christianity! There is plenty of deep tradition and many ancient practices in orthodoxy that you don't get with Catholics and Protestants. One can still get such lessons and mindsets in ancient Christianity as much as anywhere else. I would encourage you to keep up the good search! Wherever you find it, in Christianity or other ancient traditions. An orthodox priest once told me that there is good to any religion. We believe Christianity to be the correct one of course, but that does not mean there aren't other things to learn from other cultures and religions! God does not want us to blindly follow him. We should search for him. It is ok to disagree with the bible or other teachings by holy men. We should simply follow up with searching for why they may have said that, or the context of it, or the meaning and reasoning behind it. For example, the bible was written by the ancients, and so applies to people of that time, but since times changes, these things may change as well. We see this difference between the old and New Testament even, for example. Whether you count yourself as Christian these days does not matter to me, I congratulate you and encourage you for/in your search for truth and the right "concepts" that you believe the church does not teach! The church is made up of humans, and so human mistakes may happen if we are not careful.

    G.... A....

    @Dave Thiessen
    Τhats the difference between orthodox and catholics!

    G.... A....

    George Gtabeginner in my experience anyways

  31. P.... M....

    Can you post lyrics please

    P.... M....

    @Non Believer
    We didnt approve the crusades because we are the orthodox not the catholics!Those are tyrants,they had their own state which was so small and controlled empires!

    P.... M....

    @Non Believer
    How can we be evil when the catholics attacked us and took our city?we are evil?

    P.... M....

    Pamela May kisses for you

    P.... M....

    Marceline Walker or humans are just stupid and our society hasnt evolved to a point where it's operating harmoniously....if aliens were watching us they'd say look at these Dumbfucks do you think these monkeys will ever figure out how to run a society properly? It's like they try to make things as difficult as possible for themselves😂

  32. M.... G....
