A lyric video with English and Spanish in the lyrics.

Close enough. I Love em.

Some more. Basically, like one of my church services.

The song is a central piece on the new Wardruna album Kvitravn. It explores the Nordic deities of fate; the Norns, the spinning of life threads and the Norse and Sámi common idea that a person's spirit is connected to wind, both before and after birth. The song features guest appearances by a small group of prominent Norwegian traditional singers, Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sigrid Berg, Unni Løvlid, Ingebjørg Reinholdt alongside Wardruna's own Lindy-Fay Hella.

"On a personal level, Andvevarljod is a song I hold very dear and it was also my starting point on the new album. Musically, it gives voice to very old song traditions and on top of that it is voiced by some of the most central reasons why these traditions are being kept alive for us and the generations to come. So, special thanks go out to our guest singers for lending us their talents and for the invaluable work they do for keeping our traditions alive!" ~Einar Selvik


Andvevarljod - Song of the Spirit-weavers

Vendum vendum (Turn turn)

Or vordehaugen (From the mound of my kin)
Drog eg ordi (I pulled up the words)
Leita songar (Dug the songs)
Upp or jordi (up from the earth)
Dreiv på vindar (Wondrous tunes)
Vakre viser (rode the winds)
Lagnadsdiser (Wardens of fate)
Baud meg vitje (bid me visit)
Baud meg sjå (bid me view)
Min eigen tråd (my own thread)
i Nornespå (in the web of Norns)

Rend er veven (The loom is set)
Med ørlogstråder (with threats of fate)
Ramme rim (Mighty rhymes)
Magnar banda (strengthen bonds)
Kvervelvindar (Whirlwinds)
Hapt i hugar (bound into spirits)
Liv og lagnad (Life and fortune)
Ordi avlar (bred by their words)

Såg du din fyrste dag (As you saw your first day)
Drog fyrste andedrag (As you drew your first breath)
Der omkring stod nornar ni (Gathered around, stood nine Norns)
Vinda vevja, vind til liv (They wound and weaved wind to life)

Låg du der i favn åt mor (There you laid in your mother’s arms)
Knytta i ei navlesnor (bonded by a navel-chord)
Bytte den med ættarband (They switched it with a kind-thread)
Liv og lagnad, i det spann (And into it spun, life and fortune)

Møyer steig på ættarhaug (The maidens went upon the family-mound)
Dansa yver alv og draug (Danced over elves and dead)
Vinden leiker, i møyer dreg (The wind is pulling them playfully)
Vinden som vil fylgje deg (It‘s this wind that shall follow you)

Nornar nie steig fram (Nine Norns – rise up)
Vov og bandt lagnad (wove and wound – fate)

For min unge, eg gåver baud (On behalf of my child, I offer gifts)
Så ingen vov med ilske naud (So none are weaving with ill will)
Ved stokk ved stein ved trolletein (By stick, by stone by sorcerous distaff)
Spinn dei lagnad, utan mein (They spin your fate without ill intent)

Nornar nie, høyr meg (Nine Norns – hear me)
Vord min veg, før med (guard my path)
Lindrande hender (and lead with alleviating hands)
i lækjande fotspor (and in healing footsteps)

Andar inn (Breathe in)
Tankar svinn (thoughts vanish)
Andar ut (Breathe out)
Reidsle rinn (release the fear)
Kvart eit drag (In every breath)
Viljen veks (the will grows)
Hjarte sler (The heart pounds)
Vidt eg ser (I see wide and clear)
Vind i hått (Wind in memory) Einar: Kom vind i hátt (Come wind in memory)
Vind i hugen (Wind in mind) Einar: Kom vind i hug (Come wind in mind)
i mitt mot (In my courage) Einar: Vilje som veks (Into the growing will)
i min vilje (In my will) Einar: i temjande vers (Into taming rhymes)
Slepp det fri (Let it free) Einar: Kveikjer ein storm (It kindles a storm)
Lar det fara (Let it fly) Einar: Den kveler sott og sorg (that strangles illness and sorrow)
Eg vert heil (I become whole/healed) Einar: Du vert heil (You become whole/healed)
Eg er heil (I am whole/healed) Einar: Du er heil (You are whole/healed)

Eg vert heil (I become whole/healed)
Eg er heil (I am whole/healed)

Vendum vendum (Turn turn)

No hev nornar (Now, the Norns)
Vevd si vise (have weft their tune)
Songen stillnar (Their song stills)
Vinden med (and with it, the wind)
Gåver gjevne (Gifts were given)
Til den som lytta (to those who listened)
Her eg stende (Here I stand)
i heilagt vé (on holy grounds)
Gamalt minne (and this old memory)

Lemnar meg (is leaving me)
Lemnar meg (is leaving me)
Lemnar meg... (is leaving me...)

While life passes by, you are never alone
Saint Mary of the Pathway is always with you.

Come, Mother dwell among us
Come, Mary down here
We will be walking with you to the Freedom

When someone tells you that nothing can change,
Do Fight for a new world.
Do Fight for the Truth.

Along the pathway, people are so self-absorbed
Offer your hand first to your neighbor.

This is somewhat a song. Of sorts. We use this Key and many others. It does sound a lot like this track. I'm awake and restless.


Oxiayal holdo od zirom
Q coraxo od vabzir camliax
Od bahal: Niiso salman teloch!
Od par aldon od noan
Casarman holq;
Gohed saga do zildar zong.
Niiso! Bagle abramg pi noncp.
Zacare ca od zamran!
Odo cicle qaa! Zorge!
Zir noco! Hoath Satan
Bvfd lonsh londoh babage

Translated:

The mighty seat groaned aloud
And there were seven thunders
And the eagle spake
And cried with a loud voice:
Come away from the house of death!
And they gathered themselves together
And became those of whom it is measured;
The everlasting ones,
Who ride the whirlwinds.
Come Away! For I have prepared
A place for you.
Move therefore and show yourselves!
Open the mysteries of your Creation!
Be friendly unto me!
For I am the servant of the same!
The true worshipper of Satan/Lucifer
In glory and power exalted
Of the Kingdom of the South

The Lord is my salvation,
I will fear no more, with Him
because in my heart there is the certainty,
that Salvation is here with me.

I praise You my Lord, because
You were distant from me once,
Now You have come back
And You took me with You
(R)
You will be drinking from the springs with joy,
the springs of Salvation
and you will say that day:
Praise the Lord, invoke His name
(R)
Tell peoples
what works He performed
And may they remember
may they remember that great is His name
(R)
Sing to those who performed great works
and may be made known across the world
may your joy be great,
Inhabitant of Zion, because the Lord is great with You
(R)

Sorry, Lord if we knock on the door of Your Heart,
it is us.
Sorry, Lord, if we begging for Love, ask You for comfort.
As the leaf, tired, falls onto the ground, but then Earth has always one life more.
so people, whenever they are weary, want You.
And You, Lord You have one life more, one life more.

Sorry, Lord, if we knock on the palace of Light,
it is us.
Sorry, Lord, if we sit at the table of your Body to be filled with You.
As the leaf, tired, falls onto the ground, but then Earth has always one life more.
so people, whenever they are weary, want You.
And You, Lord You have one Life more.

Sorry, Lord, whenever we are led astray, away from the path of Your Love,
it is us.
Sorry Lord, if You see us return to You,
only at the time of Forgiveness.
As the leaf, tired, falls on the ground, but then Earth has always one life more.
so people, whenever they are weary, want You.
And You, Lord You have one Life more, one life more.
