Norwegian Christmas Carols # 2


Sweet Ruby has belonged to our extended family since she was eleven. Now she's soon to become 26, has taken a bachelor degree in England, stayed together with her Ørjan for 6 years and this year became the happy mother of Loke. The family has established themselves in Ruby's birth town where the hymn for first Sunday of Advent is  recorded in the main church.




  


Det lyser i stille grender [Julekveld]
blank
Det lyser i stille grender
av tindrande ljos ikveld,
og tusunde barnehender
mot himmelen ljosi held.
Og glade med song dei helsar
sin broder i himmelhall,
som kom og vart heimsens frelsar
som barn i ein vesal stall.
Han låg der med høy til pute,
og gret på si ringe seng,
men englane song der ute
på Betlehems aude eng.
Der song dei for fyrste gongen
ved natt over Davids by,
den evige himmelsongen
som alltid er ung og ny.
Songen som atter tonar
med jubel kvar julenatt.
um barnet, Guds son og sonar
som myrkret for evigt batt.
Jakob Sande-
You might translat the text from New Norwgian to English yourself.
It's certainly worth the while.

  2. Ruby is a beautiful young woman and her Loke is a serious little sweetie.

    I played the three videos together off-setting them a bit. Two was nice. Three was discordant.

  6. dearest felisol...i don't know how i missed your new posts...i am so glad that you are here again!!!.
    you are right..this hymn is worthy to be translated
    some of the words stayed norwegian but you can still get the beautiful meaning of the song!

    It glows in the hamlets
    of Tindra candles tonight,
    and thousand children's hands
    the sky ljosi continues.
    And happy with the song salute
    his brother in heaven hall,
    who came and was Heimset Savior
    like kids in a Vesala stall.
    He lay there with high cushion,
    and stored at say call bed
    but angels song out there
    of Bethlehem deserted meadow.
    Where the song for the first time
    at night over the city of David,
    the eternal skies season
    which is always young and new.
    Song overnight notes
    with cheers every Christmas night.
    um baby, God's son and sonar
    that myrkret for evigt batt.
    Jakob Sande-
