Stomp Your Feet to Raudi Riddaurin -- The Red Knight

Emmaus High School Chorale sings "Raudi Riddaurin," which is translated as the Red Knight.  This folk song was written by Hreidar Ingi.   The singers stomp their feet to sound like the "din of hooves" of proud Icelandic horses.

Here is a translation:

"Svo einmana verður enginn,

No one is ever so lonely,

að ekki sé von á gesti,

That they can't expect a guest,

riddara í rauðum klæðum,

A rider (knight) in red clothing

sem ríður bleikum hesti.

who rides a pale horse

Riddari í rauðum klæðum,

A rider in red clothing,

með rjúkandi sigð í höndum,

with a smoking sickle in hand,

hleypir, svo hófana dynur

rides, so the din of hoofs

heyrist í öllum löndum.

is heard in every land.

Riddari í rauðum klæðum,

A rider in red clothing,

með rjúkandi sigð í höndum,

with a smoking sickle in hand,

hleypir, svo hófana dynur

rides, so the din of hoofs

heyrist í öllum löndum.

is heard in every land."
