The Norwegian government commissioned Einar and Ivar to do a song for the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution.
This is what they came up with.
They went on to do a whole album as well.

I like this one, about Tore Hund, the peasant who killed the christian king
The pic is Ivar and Einar above Bergen, Hordaland, Norway.
One of our sacred lands.
Tore Hund
Ørna har stupt
i gløym-svevn kvilar
Kråka har kraksa i ørnereiret
Trudd seg orna lik
Gjetord gjevt
vann du aldri
låk var din løn
Brottkongens bane
Folket fylka
Flokkar fyl-g-de
Uår trossa
Bondebærs brande!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
Tore Hund han ris igjen!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
or gløym-svevn han ris igjen!
Sjølv etter han døde
nyt nidkongen føde
matar seg mett
på makt og visdomsøde
renkjespelt rykte
fekk vekse fram
fordummande veldet
forstummande veldet
tre utan næring
rotnar på rot
tre utan rot
…fell
Fram fram Bondemenn!
Tore Hund han ris igjen!
Fram fram Bondemenn!
or gløym-svevn han ris igjen!
The eagle has fallen
resting in forgetfull sleep
The crow has croaked in the eagle's nest
Believing itself equal
Proud legacy
You never won
Poor was the pay
Slayer of the king of shame
People of the land gathered
Flocks followed
Defied starvation
Chieftain of the peasant-army
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
Even after death
The piteous king enjoys his feed
Fills a greedy belly with power and
wisdom absent
Manipulative rumor
Was cultivated
Stupidifying the land!
Silencing the land!
A tree without nourish
Rots on it's roots
A tree without roots
...Falls
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
Tore Hund arises again!
Onwards, onwards peasant-men
From forgetful sleep he rises again!
