You tube, Thank you for linking the Lyrics to the songs. I can hear ok but sometimes have difficulty understanding what is said by the singer and your linking the words to the music helps greatly.
And people, please anyone explain why this song and "The water is wide" sound exactly like each other? I mean obviously they're the same song with different lyric only. Am I right?
pennymusicMAma: First, I want to state that I love Sissel and everything she does including this song. I am a Sissel fan, always have been. Having said this, there is only two versions of this English/Scottish folk song, The Water Is Wide and O Waly, Waly respectively, and they date back to the 1600s, there is no other variations. You may take this song and apply different lyrics to it but please acknowledge its original English/Scottish origin.
I do acknowledge its origin in Olde English/Celt music. "The Water is Wide" is the American version.. There are several versions with different lyrics of this olde traditional from its early origins. "O Waly Waly","Waly,Waly" and more. I am a musician who has researched this song that dates back to the Celtic beginnings. I did not elaborate on all the historic data. Just appreciate how beautiful it is. There are more than two versions. This is historical music fact.
This is one of my favorites sung by Sissel. I would so love to hear her sing "My Heart Will Go On" - she sang all of the soundtrack Vocalises in soundtrack of 'Titanic", but was denied by producers the 'theme', against the choice of soundtrack composer, James Horner, who selected her "voice" after hearing her sing "Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg" - the catalyst for the soundtrack. "SummerSnow"/"Waly,Waly "is divine and poignant. I have enjoyed her concerts immensely- sweet one she is!
I wait with baited breath for your uploads of Sissel. Some of her cd's are not available but you have supplied many of the songs that I can't buy here in the U.S.
this is one of Sissel's finest songs... a beautiful, gentle, touching, splendid treasure. this is also one of the very first songs I ever heard of our Norwegian angel. I am very glad you have uploaded this, Sisselfan! thanks!
Reply to YT102008, Please read the notes above concerning this traditional song, which has many variations. This is a Norwegian one. Yes, it is "The Water Is Wide" / "Waly Waly" .......
I saw the summer snow in 2011 in Noway and I can really appreciate this song. Sissel sings it so beautifuly as usual. Thanks for posting!!

She reminds me so much of my mother, who is also from the west-coast. Sissel has a beautiful and relaxing voice, especially for it being soprano : )

sisselfan, Tusen Takk for this song that
pierces my heart. How I am feeling now.
It has the same melody as "The Water is
Wide" / "Waly, Waly" - a traditional I sang with my son @ the funeral for my dear husband. Love, penny
