Ormurin Lange - Folklore - English translation

Details

Description

Faroe Island folk-dance and singing. This is an english texted version of a video allready on you-tube. It is the ballad (kvad) of Ormen Lange/Ormurin Langi or the long serpent. The greatest viking ship ever built in Norway according to the sagas.
It was commisoned by Olaf Trygvason. Please leave comments for corrections of translations if you have any, I will try to fix them. It is translated very directly, so you may follow the original Faroe texting. This is old art, and I believe it is best to understand it in the original language, instead of me thinking of English syntax and sentence construction.
