Old norse?

Oh never mind. I found it. Just do a search on YouTube for “old norse”. :)

Frágu frǿknan et fjǫr vilði
Gotna þjóðann
Golli kaupa

Hjarta skal mér Hǫgna
Í hendi liggja
Blóðigt ór brjósti
Skorit baldriða

Hér hefek hjarta
Hjalla ins blauða
Ólíkt hjarta
Hǫgna ins frǿkna
Er mjǫk bifisk
Er á bjóði liggr
Bifðisk hǫlfu meir
Þá er í brjósti lá

I defintely know it’s a Germanic languages lol

Possibly – Old Norse, Old Danish/Swedish, Faroese?, Icelandic?, It’s definetly not German, Dutch, English, Afrikaans, Frisian, Limburgs o’r a German dialect .

Arakun is correct it is a poem in Old Norse. The words are exactly, what he wrote. The poet looks like a mad man.

It is indeed Old Norse and the recording comes from YouTube.

Translation …. ?

TJ, I think if you click on Simon’s answer, and link to you tube, the movie is also written in old Norse, English and Norwegian.Good luck

renato: thanks I didn’t notice that the first time.

Just a question out of this topic. I was reading the new stuff section and got into the Yiddish phrases page. I was wondering, from where did the word “Yiddish” come from? Is it an adjective for (Yid)? …… if so what is Yid ?

TJ: I believe it is a mutation of “jüdisch,” which is German for “jewish.”

Oh now it makes sense!
Thanks!

Yep, Old Norse is what’s for dinner. Could it be some Beowulf-ish epic poem? Is this a historical-type exerpt?
