Heilung - Traust (Unofficial Music Video)

I really love this beautiful song. There are many music videos based on this song, but my version is focused on the lyrics and deep atmosphere. Here I used the footage from «The Vikings» series and from the music video of Wardruna called «Voluspá». Peace and respect to Heilung and Wardruna, they are great musicians! Thanks for watching! I hope you will enjoy it!

I do not own any of these audio/video materials. All rights go to their respective owners.

#Heilung #Traust

[Valfreyja]

Trust (English translation)
Once sat women, they sat here, then there.
Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army,
Some unraveled fetters:
Escape the bonds, flee the enemy!

Then first I will chant thee
The charm oft-tried,
That Rani taught to Rind;
From the shoulder whate'er
Mislikes thee shake,
For helper thyself shalt thou have.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then next I will chant thee,
If needs thou must travel,
And wander a purposeless way:
The bolts of Urth
Shall on every side
Be thy guards on the road thou goest.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then third I will chant thee,
If threatening streams
The danger of death shall bring:
Yet to Hel shall turn
Both Horn and Ruth,
And before thee the waters shall fail.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then fourth I will chant thee,
If come thy foes
On the gallows-way against thee:
Into thine hands
Shall their hearts be given,
And peace shall the warriors wish.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then fifth I will chant thee,
If fetters perchance
Shall bind thy bending limbs:
O'er thy thighs do I chant
A loosening-charm,
And the lock is burst from the limbs,
And the fetters fall from the feet.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then sixth I will chant thee,
If storms on the sea
Have might unknown to man:
Yet never shall wind
Or wave do harm,
And calm is the course of thy boat.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then seventh I chant thee,
If frost shall seek
To kill thee on lofty crags:
The fatal cold
Shall not grip thy flesh,
And whole thy body shall be.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then eighth will I chant thee,
If ever by night
Thou shalt wander on murky ways:
Yet never the curse
of a Christian woman
From the dead shall do thee harm.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Then ninth will I chant thee,
If needs thou must strive
With a warlike giant in words:
Thy heart good store
Of wit shall have,
And thy mouth of words full wise.

(I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men.)

Once sat women, they sat here, then there.
Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army,
Some unraveled fetters:
Escape the bonds, flee the enemy!

First and last verses are the first Merseburg charm.
The bulk of the lyrics come from Grógaldr 6-14.
The repeated chorus-like chant is part of the washing verse/spell from the Galdrabók (Book of Spells). Thanks to BeepBep for pointing this out in the comments and for providing a better translation.

Anyone using this as legit, intenstional meditation routine to cast away the negative vibes during the day have understood the true purpose of this galdr..

[rtrThanos]

God damn…this is beautiful. I been crying all week after bad news at the hospital, but this video reminded me that I’m still here, and there’s still amazing things I need to see before punching out.

[Clemensk]

Heilung is so incredible in magic this type of music. I literally always feel like I am coming out of this world and enter a magic realm of the past. Love it!

[JasonSmith-oxzi]

I miss the feeling of having a tribe. I've searched for it this entire lifetime and this music feels like home

[BabeDogGsD]

Als Deutscher, der in Amerika geboren wurde, bin ich in diese Band verliebt.
I drive around with the volume all the way up and windows down.

[Etorofu]

I can't express it in words, but this song is giving me a sense of life.

[SergeySavin]

I like how the song basically rewinds itself from the middle.

[modernrider]

I’m a music snob and in my non professional opinion this is the best thing on YouTube

[heinzsielmann]

I Hear the song with a good headset and a few seconds later i become goosebumps on my whole body.
This is the kind of music i can feel completly.

[ThisPartIsAndrew]

Some modern folk don't realize how much hygiene was important to the people of Vik. In fact, we started visiting France just for the lavender. We even stayed there for a while.

[helltonwerrmann]

Heil Odin, respects from South Brazil !!!!

The Orkney archipel with its Ring of Brodgar lies in the middle of the Norse culture and our celtic and pictish ancestors. Norsemen that left their runes in Maes Howe. Ravens that are magical and well known for their wisdom and intelligence. Skara Brae. Land of endless freedom of the north. Can smell the fresh air. Thank you Heilung for your music that is a trip for my heart to the places of the north.

[Ansgar]

Schönes Lied. Heil den Göttern und Heil den Asen.

[ghostpatriot]

Spiritual and brings memories that don’t seem to be mine

[brendacrossan]

I love this type of music. Its medicine for my soul.

[lelouchlamperouge]

Absolutely deserves the like... beauty of the ears is so rare... im so blessed to hear this

[deanreichley]

Im half Dane and half Norwegian. I have all of these on my playlist! Lady of the Dawn is a great one! Long version also!

[АлексейРоссиев-щщ]

Обожаю такую музыку, во время прослушивания переносишься в другой мир.

I really love that this video gives some credit to the spinners. I learned to use a drop-spindle (the thing the wrinkly old lady is using) as a teenager--it's lovely and meditative and connects you so viscerally to the past and utterly wrecks your hands. I'm slightly in awe that they seem to have found a live human with the right calluses. But seriously: every thread in all the garments the warriors are wearing and every bit of sailcloth passed through the hands of someone like that spinner. I think it's really beautiful that Heilung implies that the war-blessing was woven into the cloth --> that the people supporting the warriors were as important as the warriors themselves.
