Ich weiss ein ewiges Himmelreich

[ansjosen]

Helt vanvittig vakkert.

[Ivanbelastegui]

It sounds like a soundtrack of an epic movie like "the lord of the rings". Her voice, the melody and the chorus uplift your spirit. Thanks for posting

[githmark]

Denne sangen SKAL spilles i begravelsen min !

This song SHALL be played when im getting burried !

[TheMrChugger]

Absolutely amazing, she's incredible. I'll make her my wife one day ;) haha. Flying the Union Jack I see too! Hail from England.

[draukareborn]

I've watched this video dozens of times. I can't understand a single word of it but that doesn't make it any less beautiful.

[kristicuk]

there are like 5 flags there and the further left is Romania's flag. I don't understand why. I mean, I'm honored, cause I'm Romanian, and there never was any connection between Scandinavia and Romania but I wonder what event was this.

[azben78]

@kristicuk This event is called The Norwegian Military Tattoo, and is held in Oslo every year. Several miltary companies from different countries are invited to join. Why Helene Bøksle was there, I don't know. But I'm glad she was :-)

[piterrepiter]

Maravilloso

[ledylanclair]

Beautiful.

[veslajento]

Buu! Du har kutta vekk starten! :( Ville aller aller helst hatt da tilbake sånn so da va. plss

[Gwynsek]

So touching...even though I don´t get the meaning.

[Annemor123]

I'm in the choir (Oslo Philharmonic Choir) and we performed this in May 2008. It's from the Norwegian Military Tattoo. Please be welcome to NMT in May 2010, Also this time at Oslo Spektrum.

[HMKGman1]

hvorfor kutta du starten og slutten..?

[Cennice]

Det var ikkje så morosamt å høyre berre klasking med hendane.

[MagdaGnat]

when was this performed? and why are there Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish soldiers there?

[svglump]

It looks like it from the Norwegian Military Tattoo, and I suppose our good friends and neighbours are there for the show ;)

[Makchoo7]

I like better Sissel's version. But this is a cute version and her voice is so sweet. =)

[MADparatrooper]

Jeg synes faktisk denne er berede en versjonen til Sissel.

[LIONPRIDE]

Thank you

[infantryveteransrk]

She is the Voice behind the Age of Conan soundtrack.

[shyland2]

Yes, I'm crazy about every song she sings on that soundtrack. The rest is good, but the ones she sings take my breath away.

[Arrameth]

I'm not religious but I now believe in angels

[strzelec]

@Arrameth

Music is not the basic thing in religion, man.

[jclint]

Not everyone is thrilled about the United States becoming an "Idiocracy". It's not about being elite and rather the degradation of what is considered ordinary. Obviously, to each their own.

[shyland2]

JClint1: What? Does this have any place here?

Times and tastes change. This is a wonderful song, superbly rendered.

I'm a big fan of Helene too...and also from the US. Here, as thankfully almost everywhere, we get to pick what we want to listen to.

[jclint]

I'm another US fan of Helene. I can't stand our pop music which is mostly childish hip hop trash.

[Theninjaboy]

oh you are just so intelligent and sophisticated jclint. lol

[scandawarrior]

@jclint Can't agree more I would trade her for Britney Spears and Justin Bieber any day.

[scotta999]

Tears from Arizona, USA. a trucker and at times "a weary traveller"

[tepass]

Tears from Germany

[ProphetCassandra]

oh please someone send me the lyrics and translation... so beautiful...

[pianistviolinist500]

here's what I found on wikipedia: I know of a heavenly stronghold shining as bright as the sun; there are neither sin nor sorrow and never a tear is shed. I am a weary traveller; may my path lead me from here to the land of my father; God, protect me on my way. We thank you for eternity God the Father, one in three. For you are gentle and mild to us in Jesus Christ! Amen.

[Chopnick2]

I haven't looked at wikipedia, but it seems that some of the lyrics are incorrect translated, as far as I can see.

But here are the Norwegian lyrics (credits to aconchobhar):

Sissel Kyrkjebø, Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg (Castle In The Sky) from the album Deep Within My Soul.

Eg veit i himmerik ei borg,

ho skin som soli klåre

der er´kje synder eller sorg,

der er´kje gråd og tåre.

[Chopnick2]

(continuation) Der inne bur Guds eigen son i herlegdom og æra, han er min trøyst og trygge von, hjå honom eg skal vera. Men visst eg veit, ein morgon renn då dødens natt skal enda. Min lekam opp or gravi stend og evig fryd får kjenna. Me takker deg til evig tid, Gud Fader, alle saman, for du er oss så mild og blid i Jesus Kristus! Amen.

[drp2p]

Stemmen til en engel. You have fans all over the world Helene.

god vilje

[lollerdin]

Confirmed. Netherlands greets Helene :)

Can't wait for a producer in the USA to pick up her music. She has a voice from Heaven that brings tears to my eyes at times.

[eckligt]

Actually, I'd hate for her sound to receive a makeover by a US producer, if that's what you meant. Her two albums are both excellently produced, though maybe a little too polished for some people's tastes.

[Cennice]

Gåsehud og ståpels på same tid.
