DESCRIPTION:
Whaling in the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic where I live, has been practiced since about the time of the first Norse settlements on the islands.
My grandfather (age 93) Johannes Andreas Næs, formerly known as "Flóvin Flekk" wrote this poem in his earlier years. The poem is descriping our old tradition about whale hunting.
Poem, music and video is not inclined to criticize ore stir up anything. Its witten with verbs in present participle about an old faroese traditión which still is a huge part of our culture.

Lyrics:

Kastandi, hvínandi, bóltandi, andandi,
rullandi, sjóðandi, svimjandi, standandi,
gánandi, goysandi, sjórok mót skýum. -
Berandi, pløgandi, skúmandi, rennandi
fram gjøgnum aldurnar spennandi,
langtandi sveima á bárunum fríum.

Sveittandi, hugsandi, ynskjandi,
rógvandi, tigandi, takandi tøkini tógvandi -
fúsir við stimbraðum limum.-
Grýtandi, blámandi, rekandi, verjandi,
forðandi teimum, ið á koma herjandi
- váknið til reiðar í fingrunum fimum.

Bløðandi, blásandi, boltandi, brótandi,
malandi, lúgvandi, søkkandi, flótandi
- drignir við leikandi, læðandi ljómi.-
Tungliga vaðandi, skelvandi, skerandi,
leitandi, lærandi, spyrjandi, berandi
- stremba, til ikki av vørrum er hómi.
