ELDLEIKR (Fire Play) | Nordic Folk Rock with Female Old Icelandic Vocals

Nordic Folk Music | Dark Ritual Ambient | Voices of Midgard

A joyful, rhythm-driven Nordic Folk Rock track celebrating fire, movement, and togetherness.

A fire awakens the body.
A rhythm gathers the circle.
Feet strike the earth, hearts answer the call.
This is the dance where life remembers itself.

Lyrics

Eldur…
eldur í hjarta.
Eldur…
eldur í fæti.

Fætur slá í heitan mold,
hljóð rís úr jörð.
Vindr ber hlátur, ljósan kraft,
nóttin opnar örlög.

Augun skína, logi lifir,
líf kveikr dans.
Hringr myndast, hjörtu svara,
allt er eitt í takt.

Snúðu, systir, slepptu þér,
hjartað veit veginn.
Snúðu, systir, slepptu þér,
eldrinn leiðir þig.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Hár flýgr frjálst í heitum vindi,
hljóð slá takt.
Engin byrði, engin þögn,
aðeins líf og kraft.

Brjóstið opið, augnablik,
allt er satt.
Í þessum leik er heimur minn,
í þessum dansi ég.

Snúðu, systir, slepptu þér,
hjartað veit veginn.
Snúðu, systir, slepptu þér,
eldrinn leiðir þig.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

— Hver kallar?
Eldur!
— Hver svarar?
Hjarta!
— Hver leiðir?
Dansinn!
— Hvar erum við?
Hér! Nú!

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Eldleikr kallar mig,
í logans ljósi dansum nú.
Hjarta leikr í hring,
lífið lifir — lifum nú.

Poetical Translation

Fire…
fire in the heart.
Fire…
fire in the feet.

Feet strike the warming earth,
sound rises from the ground.
The wind carries laughter, a shining force,
the night unlocks our fate.

Eyes are glowing, the flame lives on,
life ignites the dance.
A circle forms, hearts reply,
all becomes one in rhythm.

Turn, sister, let yourself go,
the heart already knows the way.
Turn, sister, let yourself go,
the fire will lead you.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

Hair flies free in the warming wind,
sounds strike the beat.
No burden, no silence,
only life and strength.

The chest is open, a single moment,
everything is true.
In this play, the world is mine,
in this dance, I am.

Turn, sister, let yourself go,
the heart already knows the way.
Turn, sister, let yourself go,
the fire will lead you.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

— Who is calling?
Fire!
— Who answers?
The heart!
— Who leads?
The dance!
— Where are we?
Here! Now!

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.

Fire-play calls to me,
in the light of the flame we dance as one.
The heart plays in a circle,
life is alive — and so are we.
