Haunting beauty of nordic songs performed on the strange “nyckelharpa”

The nyckelharpa, from Sweden, which the Germans call a Schlüsselfidel, is like if a violin had a baby with a guitar! 🙂

Enjoy!

I found lyrics for this one (translated), and it makes you think.

The sky turned black

Faithfully I walk
The moon so big
Fog embraces the forest floor
Wind is blowing through my hair
Leaves wither as I walk

Tell me father
In violence of the demon
Can you save me from the storm so cold
When you abandoned me for the underworld’s gate
My heart turned to stone, the sky became black

Only in the nighttime we emerge
Hidden in the darkness we have each other
In a world that is not for me
I can breathe only through you

Tell me father
The violence of demons
Can you save me from the storm so cold
When you abandoned me for the underworld’s gate
My heart turned to stone, the sky became black.

Wow.

It is time for the cure.
