about

This folk song was originally performed by Gjallarhorn. The song is full of old Pagan symbols: the grove was a natural temple to the Pagans. The grey horse is a metaphor for death. There is talk about riding (from the grove) to the Church, and to baptise Freyia. The transition between the old and the new religion was slow and often confusing, and left its mark in folklore and folk tunes for centuries after.

I've always loved this song and decided to do a cover on it.

lyrics

Å Silibrand körde uppå höga loftessvala
Allt under den linden så gröna
Där fick han se sin dotter i lunden fara
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Å välest mig välest mig vad jag nu ser
Allt under den linden så gröna
Jag ser min dotter hon kommer till mig
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Å Silibrand fämnar ut kap-pan så blå
Allt under den linden så gröna
Där föder hon två karska svenbarnen på
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min fader skall jag giva min gån-gare grå
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som han skall rida till kyrkan uppå
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min syster skall jag giva mina guld-ringar sju
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som jag ej haft sen jag stod brud
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min broder skall jag giva mina hand-skar små
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som han skall ha lik-vart han går
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Den ene så för dom till Freyjas dop
Allt under den linden så gröna
Den andre så för dom till Vallhalla sal
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Ofcourse credits go to Gjallarhorn for the original composition, but whoever wrote this text ofcourse deserves all the praise.
