The Words to Sancto Erico
While Nameless has banned me from their site, she hasn't yet for the AS.org site so I am swiping some of my goodies
Below are the actual lyrics in Old Swedish and then their translation into English...
They are the two opening lines of an Old Swedish epic poem called Sancto Erico. People should remember that they were not written specifically for the show, but the great coincidence is that they actually are pretty close to working as they relate to Eric's character - all total coincidence!
Sithan Erik var kjaer allom landsins hoefdingjom ok allom allmogan, tha valdo the han til konungh ok sattis hetherlica a konunghks stool vith Upsala. Sidan foor han alt sit rike ok doemde raetta doma utan allan vinskap ella paenninghavild ok ey oraetta doma for raeddogha ella hat skuld
Translated: As Erik was dear to the chieftains and populace of the land, he was
elected king and installed honorably on the royal throne in Uppsala.
He traveled all over the country, and neither personal attachment nor gain,
neither fear nor animosity ever made him swerve from the path of justice.

Re: The Words to Sancto Erico
I have been thinking about this song since we have been privy to Eric's former life...the music makes even better sense....
