Wardruna - Raido (Official music video)

Description:

Music video for ‘Raido’. Directed by Tuukka Koski, Koski Syväri. Raido” is the reconstructed name of the proto-Norse R-rune and is presumed to signify “riding” or “journey.” The concept of both song and video draws inspiration from old runic poetry where one can for instance read how the horse is said to bring “comfort to the restless” and how the journey is swift for the sitting and toilsome for the horse. It has truly been a blessing and honor to work on this with top-level people such as Tuukka Koski and his team, a fantastic horse such as Balder, all in a stunningly beautiful place full of helpful people (and absurd amounts of Moose I might add). I can only hope that the positive synergy-effect I believe all of the involved felt in making the film, comes through in the final result. I for one am very proud of it. English and original lyrics below: #wardruna #raido #musicvideo Dark clouds drift within The longing lures pulls my mind Will you carry me? I want to go Fair foal, I bid you Sacks rich with gold of the fields Fare swiftly on flying hoofs Carry me, and I promise you Ride out Raido The storm is stilled, the mind it flies The drum of hoofs lay the beat The heart, it follows, two are one Sets me loose with speedy feet Riding Raido Wild I rode and ran Fair foal I spent The ride is for the horse the worse Pleasant and swift for the sitting Raido Raido If I ride you I ride more As one is two, where knots are tied In bonds are bound the whole world If I bond you I can journey If you carry me You carry more As one is two where chains are forged In bonds are bound the whole world If you bond me You can journey -- Svarte skyar rir i meg Lengten lokkar, hugen dreg Ber du meg? Vil i veg Fager fole byr eg deg Sekkar aud tå åkergull Fara svint med flyg-før hov Ber du meg, eg lovar deg Ri ut Raido Stormen stilnar, hugen fer Hovslagtromma takten slær Hjartet fylgjer, tveim blir ein Rir meg fri med raske bein Ridande Raido Vilt eg rei og rende Fager fole sprengde Reiden er for drøsul verst Sælt og snar for sitjande Raido Raido Rir eg deg Så rir eg meir For ein er to Der knutar knytast I byrd er bunde Heile verda Om eg bind deg Kan eg ferde Ber du meg Så ber du meir Når to vert ein Der lenkjer smiast I byrd er bunde Heile verda Om du bind meg Kan du ferde The new Wardruna album ‘Runaljod – Ragnarok’ will be out on October 21.
