Týr - 'Torkils Døtur' (official audio)

Torkil eigur sær døtur tvær at dansa
Leingi á morgni sova tær
Og væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Tær sova sær so leingi á dag at dansa
Til sól skín á teirra seingjastað
Og væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Ása lítla tendra ljós at dansa
Vallarin er til seingjar fúsur
Væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Ása kastaði hurð til gátt at dansa
Vallari, hav nú góða nátt
Og væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Torkil heitir á sveinar tvá at dansa
Gangið á sjógv og kyndi bál
Og væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Tað var um ein morgun ný at dansa
Vallarin brann í grønari líð
Og væl er mær ansað

Her vil eg á gólvið fram at dansa
Tó at tú vilt mær lív í vanda
Væl er mær ansað

Μπαλάντες μάχης μας τραγουδούν οι Týr στο νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα. "Battle Ballads" ο τίτλος και κυκλοφορεί ήδη. Πρόκειται για τον ένατο "ολοκληρωμένο" στουντιακό δίσκο της μπάντας από τα Νησιά Φερόες (Νήσοι Φερόες ή Φαιρόες ή Φέρο, που σημαίνει Νησιά των Προβάτων)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The follow-up to the band's 2019's powerful progressive folk-metal album 'Hel', the new 'Battle Ballads' is aptly named - a crushing, soaring, batch of classical embellished songs that conjure images of galloping steeds, clashing swords, and hard-fought victories.

And, as if it needs to be stated, the title 'Battle Ballads' has nothing in common with the lighter-raising songs so prevalent in the 1980s.

"There are definitely two versions of a ballad", clarifies Joensen.

"A lot of people think of hair metal, when they think of ballads. We are looking at ballads here in the Medieval sense.

Apart from a couple of softer parts on the album, this is very much straight heavy metal with some folk and classical influences.

I'm not sure what exactly one would call it - power metal, Viking metal, folk metal. It still fits in very much with what we do, only it feels bigger and more like these big soundscapes."»
