We are the Old People (Chant)          We are the Old People MP3 (1,7 MB)
(Adapted, credits see below.)

Chorus:
We are the old people,
we are the new people,
we are the same people,
stronger than before!

We honor the Aesir,
we blot to the Vanir,
we call to the powers,
tomorrow and today.

We are the old people,...

We are the fighters,
we are the healers,
we are the singers,
tomorrow and today.

We are the old people,...

We are the fathers,
we are the mothers,
we are the children,
tomorrow and today.

We are the old people, ...

We are the workers,
we are the shapers,
we are inventors,
tomorrow and today.

We are the old people,...

We honor the Aesir,
we blot to the Vanir,
we call to the powers,
tomorrow and today.

Frigga, Idunna,
Ostara, Vanadis,
Idises, Skadhi,
Gerd and Sif!

We honor the Aesir,
we blot to the Vanir,
we call to the powers,
tomorrow and today.

Alfather Odin,
Heimdall, Thunderer,
Tyr and Bragi,
Njörd and Frey!

We honor the Aesir,
we blot to the Vanir,
we call to the powers,
tomorrow and today.

We are the old people,
we are the new people,
we are the same people,
stronger than before!
