Original lyrics and English translation:
Grá
Gamle Grå…
Eg hugsar ringen før den brotna

Songen din rørar djupt i meg
Som taumar rakt frå minna dreg
Eg finn ikkje ord, dei er for meg gøymd
Men det er noko gamalt, det er noko gløymd

Eg hugsar når du jaga fritt
Eg hugsar når me jaga saman
Eg hugsar oss, før vegen skildes
Eg hugsar ringen før den brotna

Alltid var på meg, og eg på deg
Alltid var på deg, og du på meg

Berre spring til mine skogar
Berre jag i mine fjell
Før din flokk til mine dalar
Lat oss laga ringen heil
Eg skal syngje deg vegen heil
Eg skal syngje heimat heil

English translation:
Grey

Old Grey…
I recall the ring before it broke…

Your song stirs something deep within
Like chords pulling straight from memory
I can’t find the words, they still remain veiled
Yet I know it is old, I know that it’s forgotten

I remember when you roamed freely
I remember when we roamed together
I remember us before our paths got separated
I remember the ring before it broke

Always wary about you, and you about me
Always wary about me, and I about you

You may run to my forests
Roam freely in my mountains
Lead your pack to my valleys
Let us restore the ring
I shall sing you safe on your way
I shall sing you safely home

[rbti]

As a kid in Northumberland my first school teacher (an older lady) would keep me in sometimes at lunch and read me stories of Thor and Odin. 40 something years later I still thank her for that.

[ravenarceneaux]

The woman's voice is just magical

[MrHumanracin]

This is what the world needs now, powerful.

[FoxOwlLilithia]

Listen to this during a thunderstorm.
Don't ask questions, just do it.

[zackzavetnaya]

I want to live in a society where this is what is played on the radio

[guidoferri]

I love wardruna's minimalism in their videos: nothing fancy and over the top that could make them appear like nordic hippies. They are serious when it comes to Nordic culture and history

[gugu]

I live at the same time as Wardruna,
.
.
.
I am grateful for that.

[zanecarter]

One of the most powerful songs in existence currently.

[hefaistoss]

When you listening to Wardruna, a soul of our ancestors is awakening and our ancient, deep bond/connection to old world is opened and you can feel it, you feel like they were walking through the forest, prayed to the old gods, lived in peace with nature. You can feel their presence. You can feel it...you can feel it...

[TheColdfeather]

When depression and/or anxiety kicks in I just need to listen to Wardruna and I feel strong again.
You are my favorite musicians and I can't thank you enough for creating such powerful and beautiful music! <3

[DiabloPablo]

I would not call myself a religious or spiritual man. However, when I listen to one of these types of bands, Wardruna, Heilung, Danheim, etc, I cannot find any other word to describe what i feel other than spiritual. Keep banging your drums. Keep singing your songs. Keep the old blood alive and pulsing. May your gods keep you, brothers and sisters.

[rebelfighter]

Wadruna in every song: "Shoes can go to Hel."

[zacharytaylor]

absolute gem of Wardruna's collection

[cvyatkomitov]

Know your traditions.
Honor your ancestors.
Show respect to the culture of your people, witch was passed down from the ones before you.
Greetings and respect from Bulgaria.

[fjeldfross]

Full body goosebumbs, throat lump, tears in my eyes.
I'm so grateful for this music.

[Endzeitgeist]

I devoted a significant part of my academic existence to understanding Norse and Germanic cultures. It may sound dumb, but Grá felt like the ultimate vindication for all those hours of devotion.

[ale]

Wardruna will always be my favorite, the other bands are good, but these guys are on another level, It feels more pure, authentic, spiritual, not to mention Einar and
Lindy Fay's voices, just by closing your eyes they take you to the sea, to the mountains, to the sky, almost as if you were in the presence of the gods.

[starryeyednomad]

This song gave me goosebumps. The drums, the voices, and the minimalism of the background all blended and focused on the power of the wolf.

[colinmeredith]

The power in this song is immense, it awakens something in my soul that has been long forgotten 💔

[derrevolutor]

I listend to this song often when I was working in Iceland. I did not know where I want to be and the end of this song always put me close to tears. I just came back from my first vacation in Norway and I believe I found it. I believe that the land of the fjords shall be my home.
