My Mother Was the Sea | Viking Music

Born of salt, wind and restless waves, **My Mother Was the Sea** carries the pull of the ocean in every line. She was raised by the sea, shaped by black shores, cold winds and the endless sound of the surf. No king can own her, no chain can bind her, and no shore can keep her from returning to where she belongs. A powerful and melodic Old Norse Viking song about freedom, belonging and the deep connection between a person and the wild world that formed them.

English translation below. English Translation My mother was the sea, the wind sang over me, a wave carried me when I was young beneath the stars of the cold night. Salt was in my blood, the sea lives in my heart, the waves called my name, called me home. No king owns me, no chain binds me. Where the surf rises high, there is my world. My mother was the sea, my mother was the sea. Salt is in my blood, the wind is in my chest. My mother was the sea, the waves call me home. No shore can hold me — I return to the sea. I walked across black sand beneath the cold moon. Ravens flew above me, the ocean lay before me. I heard a voice in the surf, an ancient and deep voice: “Come home, daughter of the sea, come home once again.” No king owns me, no chain binds me. Where the surf rises high, there is my world. My mother was the sea, my mother was the sea. Salt is in my blood, the wind is in my chest. My mother was the sea, the waves call me home. No shore can hold me — I return to the sea. If I fall in darkness, if I lose my way, the sea will find me, the wave will carry me. Let fire burn on land, let stone and iron break. The sea lives forever — and I with it. Sea! Sea! Call me home! Sea! Sea! Carry me home! My mother! My mother! My mother was the sea! My mother was the sea, my mother was the sea. Salt is in my blood, the wind is in my chest. My mother was the sea, the waves call me home. No shore can hold me — I return to the sea. My mother was the sea, my mother was the sea. Neither king nor chain will ever bind my heart. My mother was the sea — and the sea is calling still. When the final night comes, I will go home to the sea. Follow Skavira on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and YouTube Music.
