Vackert men synd att historien går förlorad eftersom flera verser saknas. Man hör också tydligt att den framförs med utländsk (tysk) dialekt men fint ändå.

[@Fort976]

Inte illa för en utlänning, dock; för det mesta är uttalet riktigt bra

[@BaltimoresBerzerker]

I was thinking a similar thing, I found it strange that suddenly she's with Roland. Surely they had to flee and hide after scandalously "stealing" from the prince!

Apologies for the English lol, but would anyone happen to know the origins of this painting?
It’s beautiful, the man is a spitting image of most men on the Swedish side of my family. Peering into the fog makes me think of how emigrants of Sweden have lost their cultural identity in this day and age. Like they have a vague genetic memory of their fatherland, but can’t make it out anymore..

Huldra Forsvant by Theodor Kittelsen

You're right-- the man looks like my Uncle Patrik.

[@BaltimoresBerzerker]

They don't write them like this anymore!

Tack, den här har jag inte hört

Wünderbart 👍
PS är de svårt att få tag på alla sånger

Känns riktigt svensk. Lite åt "John Bauer"-stilen - inte bara målning utan text, musik och (förmodar jag) träskofiol.

Vad är det för tavla?

[@faderneslandet3489]

Tavlan heter Huldra Forsvant av Theodor Kittelsen. Jag antar att Huldra är Skogsrå på norska.

The people singing this are not swedish. If you want to hear this sung by someone who is fluent in Swedish - search for the version by Garmarna.

[@AlexandrawOfficial_Lexi]

this though is better as swedes cant sing properly
better version still is the russian version by Aeterna
Swedes no longer have the ability to sing their own music as they are no longer in touch with their ancestral roots. they are infected with marxism and government propganda

[@manfredconnor3194]

Vem är sångerskan? Garmarna?

[@Anonymous-uw4sr]

Nej, låter som en tysk
