We certainly would like to, but first we need to interpret the songs. At the moment there are many passages in them that stay incomprehensible. |

I think what is really interesting, is his palatal pronunciation of "nn" in menni. And his "g" really sound like a soft "g" to me. Not the danish soft /g/, it has actually turned into [j] now and is thus gone :b And his /v/ dosen't sound like [w] to me. Maybe the original norn pronunciation was [v], as some norn place names also indicates. |

Thanks for the link, Kråka! Good to have the lyrics and translation: Starka virna vestilie Obadee-a, obadee-a Starka virna vestilie Obadee-a monye Stala, stoita, stonga, raera 'T what ta doo, da bunshka baera 'T what ta doo, da bunshka baera A litera mae vee drengie Saina papa wara Obadee-a, obadee-a Saina papa wara Obadee-a monye English Translation: Stronger wind comes from the wester Curse the weather, curse the weather Stronger wind comes from the wester Curses from all us sailors. Stow the shrouds, the yards and sails The dear old ship she'll ride the gales The dear old ship she'll ride the gales So give her the best you can, boys. Bless the ship, almighty father Curse the weather, curse the weather Bless the ship, almighty father Curses from all us sailors. |
