#Heiemo og Nykkjen

[tsukiyo-7]

Vakna dikko ædelege drenge

Du skal få sove på nykkjens arm

For de hev sovi tidi så lengje

Wake up you noble boys! You'll sleep on the water spirit's arm. Cause you've been sleeping too long.

A little something I drew in 2021 but that I still like; the Nøkken or Nixie, or a gazillion more names depending on who you ask, are shapeshifting water spirits typical of Germanic and Scandinavian folkore who played enchanted songs on the violin, luring women, sometimes men, and children to drown in lakes or streams. However, not all of these spirits were necessarily malevolent; stories also exist wherein the spirit agrees to live with a human who had fallen in love with him. The lyrics are from Heiemo Og Nykkjen by Helene Bøksle. Closeups are under the cut.

Myrkur - Heiemo og Nykkjen (Traditional Norwegian Folk ballad)

[caffinatedstory]

hii, I have a question about one of the songs you used on Magi, Myte & Natur, namely Heiemo og Nykkjen. The version you used seems to have longer lyrics than the ones I find? It could just be a repeating since I don't understand Norwegian but I would love to find the complete lyrics they used in this version. Do you know where i can find them or is it a lost cause?

Heiemo kvad, det song i li.Det høyrde nykkjen, på havet skridHeiemo kvad, det song i lundDet hyrde nykkjen, den hei'inghund

Nykkjen tala til styringsmann:Du styre mitt skip på kristne land!Nykkjen tala til styringsmann:Styr du mitt skip på land!

Refrain:Vakna dikko ædelege drengjeFor de hev sove tidi for lengjeVakna vakna no

Eg vil meg på kristne land gåDen vene jomfruva vil eg få.

Han skapa seg kler og gul og blåHan skapa seg hest med gullsal på

Så gjeng han seg i stova innmed høge hatt og blomekinnNykkjen han dansa, og Heiemo kvad,det gledde alt folket i stogunne var

Heiemo, Heiemo, still di harm,du ska sove på nykkjens arm.Så tok han Heimemo på sin fangvil du bera henne på skipet fram

Ho stakk til nykkjen i holamot,odden han rann i hjarterotHer ligg du, nykkjen, fyr ravn og hundenno hev eg min kvedarlund

Refrain:vakna dikko ædelege drengjeFor de hev sove tidi for lengjevakna vakna novakna dikko ædelege drengjeFor de hev sove tidi for lengjevakna vakna no

Ho stakk til nykkjen i holamot,odden han rann i hjarterotHer ligg du, nykkjen, fyr ravn og hundenno hev eg min kvedarlund
