Du Är Ånga / A Thorki Mix of Scandinavian Music
With so many great Scandinavian artists and the origin of these characters as Norse gods, I wanted to make a mix that was true to their origin or close to it. All of these songs are in Swedish or Norwegian, with the exception of one Icelandic song (I tried so hard to find a good Danish song, but alas most Danes seem to perform in English. Although Finland is also part of Scandinavia, Finnish is in a different language group so I did not include it).
This mix encompasses the Thor universe and slightly delves into The Avengers as well.

Brev // Letter Thor has so many things he wishes he could tell Loki, so many letters he writes
Siri Nilsen in his head...
(Norwegian)
Og jeg har ikke tid til hjertesorg, And I don’t have time for heartbreak,
Den må du ta fra meg You have to take it away from me
For det banker to hjerter i meg nå Because I have two hearts beating in me now
Det er så mye jeg vil fortelle deg There is so much I would like to tell you
Så mange ting du ikke vet, So many things you don’t know

Du Är Ånga // You Are Steam Long ago, their dreams were one in the same.
Kent
(Swedish)
Men när natten var ljus But when the night was light
I vårt sextiotalshus In our 60's style house
Så var vi långtlångtlångt härifrån We were far far far away from here
I vår dröm om att fly In our dream of flying
Till någonting nytt To something new
Håll Om Mig // Hold Me Brotherly admiration becomes something far less innocent.
Nanne Grönvall
(Swedish)
Så håll om mig So hold me
Släpp inte taget om mig Don't let me go
Är som förhäxad av dig It's like I'm bewitched by you
Och jag vill ha dig And I want you
Komm och håll om mig nu Come and hold me now
*Sjå Attende // Look Back At the crowning ceremony, Loki watches with jealousy from across the great hall
Gåte as Thor flirts with his female admirers.
(Norwegian)
Stat upp, stat upp, sjå attende Stand up, stand up, look back
Høyr sylvstrengjin kå dom læt Hear the silverstrings, how they sound
Sjå ei hulder, som du brænne See a huldra, which you burn
Som tå lystna åt dæg græt Who weeps from the desire of you
*This is a song I imagine being played at a ceremony or party because it is Skaldic poetry. My Norwegian friend explained it as such: "Gåte is known for their rearranging of traditional Norwegian folk tunes and mixing it with metal and electronic music. And their vocalist, Gunnhild Sundli, sometimes sings what is called "kvad" in Norwegian. A kvad was a poetic language/song that a court poet, a "skald", used to sing/proclaim in the Viking Ages."
Elefanter // Elephants Loki reflects on the man he once called "Father."
Kent
(Swedish)
I hela mitt liv har jag väntat All of my life I have waited
på någon som liknade dig For someone like you
hur kunde du lämna mig ensam How could you leave me alone
i en värld som har blivit så hård In a world that has become so harsh?
I hela mitt liv har jag längtat All of my life I have longed
lång, längre bort härifrån To be far, far away from here
Nu står du först på min lista Now you are first on my list
över folk som förtjänar ett Of people who deserve
öde värre än döden.... A fate worse than death
Aldrig Aldrig // Never Ever Thor can feel that Loki isn't dead, but he knows he's not coming back.
Andreas Lundstedt
(Swedish)
Du kommer aldrig mera hem You're never coming home again
Du kommer aldrig mer tillbaks You're never coming back again
Jag kommer aldrig aldrig hata dig I will never ever hate you
mer än nu More than now
Vi kommer aldrig mera älska We're never going to love again
Vi kommer aldrig mera bråka We're never going to fight again
Jag kommer aldrig aldrig sakna dig I will never ever miss you
mer än nu More than now
Maestro Loki mocks Thor's brute strength.
Kaizers Orchestra
(Norwegian)
Sving din hammer! Swing your hammer!
Til din papa drar deg inn Until your daddy pulls you in
Trekk et romnummer Take a room number
Men ikkje bland din med min But don't mix yours with mine
Sving din hammer! Swing your hammer!
Maestro Maestro
Generation Ex The brothers recognize that neither is willing to compromise.
Kent
(Swedish)
Säg nånting, säg nånting nu Say something, say something now
Du vet att jag får panik av dina tårar You know I get panicked by your tears
Gör nånting, gör nånting nu Do something, do something now
Förstör nånting, slå mig Destroy something, hit me
Förstör nåt Destroy something
Jag överlever I'll survive
Adelsten "Of all the beings in this strange universe, you were chosen for me."
Ljungblut
(Norwegian)
Du er ment for meg You are meant for me
I et dødt rom In a dead space
Kysser jorden Kissing the earth
Utenfor Outside
Holder sin hånd over deg Holding his hand over you
Holder sin hånd over deg Holding his hand over you
I fred In peace
Hoppípolla // Puddle-Jumping Thor would give anything to return to that innocent time of their childhood, but alas...
Sigur Rós
(Icelandic)
Brosandi Smiling
Hendumst í hringi Spinning round and round
Höldumst í hendur Holding hands
Allur heimurinn óskýr The whole world a blur
nema þú stendur But you are standing
Stille Vann // Still Waters There are only so many words with which to coax someone away from their
Siri Nilsen ledge.
(Norwegian)
For jeg kan dekke over og jeg For I can cover things up and I
Kan lappe sammen og jeg Can patch things up and I
Kan plukke bier fra alt som er knust Can pick up the pieces of everything that is broken
Men ingen kan redde en voksen mann But nobody can save a grown man
Som vill forsvinne i stille vann Who wants to disappear in still waters
