[Astrid270718]

Herlige Sissel!

[ChocolateCOWZ5]

The song name is

Learn me knowing

in english

[OettingerCroat]

or better, "Teach me to know" ;-)

[ChocolateCOWZ5]

:D

XD

[Magicme79]

uhm... or better still: "get to know me" :P

[nidaros1112]

The song is "Lær meg å kjenne dine veie", teach me to know your ways! In other words NOT "get to know me"...

[miha03aj]

insanely beautiful song and voice - thanks for posting :)

[ftcolorado]

I cry every time I hear this song. It's magnificent.

[spduchene]

I can understand why the Norwegians are protective of this amazing gift of humanity. Sissle is angelic! Such a gift comes only from God. Amen!

[okeyda]

God bless you, you're a great person!

[kvasir1814]

Here's the Norwegian:

Lær meg å kjenne dine veie

og gå dem trøstig skritt for skritt

Jeg vet at hva jeg fikk i eie,

er borget gods, og alt er ditt.

Men vil din sterke hånd meg lede,

jeg aldri feil på målet ser,

og for hvert håp som dør her nede,

får jeg et håp i himlen mer.

[Steedrider]

Tusen takk for tekste. Saa snill av deg. :-)

[withabrokenwing]

hei,

i think the song was modeled after the biblical story of Job...........it is a beautiful song.

[withabrokenwing]

Hei, this gorgeous song seems modeled after the book of Job .

[withabrokenwing]

Hei , I think the theme of this very poignant song is modeled after the story of Job (yes, in the Bible) ....her voice is like that of a songbird at times....gorgeous.

[Mattx1223]

Dear Sissel,

We do hope that we can see and hear you in Finland soon! We love you. Ö. M & C from Helsingfors P.S. christmas, love, fight - what ever; your voice has brought us a a lot!

[uk67]

Sissel has always been truly special when she sings the folk songs. The other stuff, trying to record pop or whatever, is horrible career management.

[ninusballerinus]

The original song, text and melody, was written by the Danish priest Jakob Paulli in 1902, however Sissel and the rest of the Norwegian population use the same text only translated into Norwegian and a Norwegian trad. folk tune from Åseral.

[MissGarngel]

it is a norwegian song, but at the time it was made, Norway had danish as their main language. but it doesn't mean that the song is danish just because it is sung that way sometimes.

[PrettierWhenAngry]

SPOT ON!

[ingridekberg]

Sissel living in Denmark. When she is interviewed she always speaks Norwegian, never Danish.

[PrettierWhenAngry]

Sissel does not live in Denmark anymore ;)

[trunte35]

It´s not a Danish song, it´s a Norwegian song.

[ninusballerinus]

Everytime I listen to this song I get transformed into one big goosebump..

But the song isn't Norwegian, is it? I think it's Danish..

[OettingerCroat]

I dunno, she mentions it is Norwegian here, and I have heard her reference it as Norwegian in other interviews...

[bassoonfreak102594]

It is. Norwegian had a strong Danish influence.

[henki8]

It's Norwegian, trust be I'm from her hometown.

[weendey]

she sings in Norwegian

[Kertybaby]

It's Norwegian allright!

But i can understand how the Norwegian dialect can be confused with Danish in this song.

The main difference lies in the pronunciation of the words. Norwegian is a more "sharp" og "edgy" langyage.. It has some what of a more agressive pronunciation then the Danish language

[mondscheinlicht007]

The music and Sissel seemes for me to be an angle and is talking direct from the sky to the deepest corner in my sould and heart - I am from Germany, but speaks norwegian and now Lillehammer and more - Gjövik, which is only approx. 25 km south for Gjövik, there grew up once a norwegian man, who studied together with me and only because of him I learned norwegian - but he suffered that days a very serious accident and is without awarness since 20 years, it is like I could hear an angle singing

[maccapacca]

Oh.. Denne er sterk

[KattEyes000]

målløs. Wow, amazing talent.

[jdlar53]

Can anyone please tell me what song Sissel sung in the closing ceremony in 1992 alberttville Olympics, she was riding a Snow bear with the Berkinblockers below her.

Thank you

[OettingerCroat]

Sissel sang at Lillehammer, not Albertville

[ingunnwe]

She also sang riding on a snow bear in the closing seremony in Albertville. I wish I could see it again, it was beautiful, and I was so proud of her :) I think she sang Molde Canticle.

[OettingerCroat]

she sang at Albertville???

wow, that WOULD be neat to see!!!

[iluvjin1]

This is a beautiful song! Her voice is just wonderful!!

[jeanfredman]

Hon sjunger så braaaa !

denna sång kan man inte gå obemärkt förbi (ryser)

[jeanfredman]

Så vacker sång , sissel är oxå vacker, & sjunger som en gudinna !!!

[minNchristensen]

I think it is such a beautifull song.. I've known it for many years now.. love Sissel's voice.. I'm from Denmark.. and I understand the lyric

[Luvise]

Eg får frysningar av å hørra på dette!

I get goosebumps listening to this!

[emaratiya]

Her voice is great and the song is nice as well

[0mamel0]

she sounds so beautifully eerie in this song!  I love it!

[Yunero]

It's a hymn of a man's faith. the song's is his prayer.

[Byrde88]

Wow... this is one of my favourite songs ever and probably the best performance of it I ever heard. Thanks a million for sharing it!

[OettingerCroat]

definitely!

[dateren]

I learn to love that people by living there above four years.

[dateren]

It is not rare to touch anybody with a voice like hers, is much more: she comes from a country and people very special, I should say if there are a perfect society, or almost perfect, it's is Norway. They love simple things, they are humbles and know what are the most important things in life and they enjoy it.

"Lær meg kjenne" (let me to know, to learn).The rest. you heard her to tell the audience.

[MoonyWoozy]

I'm in love with this song...

[xabeltran]

Although I do not understand a word from this song, I love it!

Her voice is unique and I love her singing in her language. If only I knew Norwegian..!
