Скачать или смотреть Herknungr- Strengida (Old High/Proto - Germanic Music)

An ancient german song about getting strength from the gods to fight your enemy.

I know they are technically vikings in the video but the saxons used to be similar
when they were pagans and worshipped the same gods.


Lyrics
-----

Old High/Proto German

mit ganzem ellen wol bewart
ein vzerwelter degn
vnt von ir ritterscaft

ek immi swerdą, ek immi derknassun
ek immi fōr sa, ek immi leuhtą

gib mir ellan Wotan, mit gēre, er slahan
gib mir maht Wotan, Ana hengiste, er farit
gib mir kraft Wotan, gewiȥȥa, er bifindit
gib mir siht Wotan, mit ougen, er sehan

English

full of manly might
What worship they attain'd
a champion choice and true

I am the sword, I am the darkness
I am the fire, I am the light

Give me strength Wotan, with spear, he strikes
Give me power Wotan, on stallion, he travels
Give me might Wotan, knowledge, he seeks
Give me sight Wotan, with (one) eye, he sees
