Rob Sinclair's translation of the poem "Til ungdommen" by Nordahl Grieg

[Dirtydirtyfag]

Well a song sung in norwegian wouldnt display much spirit or intent to people who cannot speak the language, hence why its translated so others may also understand, even if you believe it is lesser for it.

[njordy]

It is a beautiful song, and it is a nice translation. Ofcourse it is not as strong as when on norwegian, but it is hard to find translated poems which manage to keep all the force and vigor as on the original language.

[frantsfrank]

Should go like this:

War is contempt for life

Peace is creation

Death's march is halted by

determination

-

i.e. "by" belongs to the third line

[Caled0n]

This translation does not capture the beautiful message of the song, nor is it as powerful as the original.

[Nordlys73]

Til alle er i dyp sorg etter tragedien i Oslo og Utøya.

[paratrond]

Today all norwegians listen to Nordal Griegs words. Our sorrow is endless today. A beautiful translation. Hope, Love, To all those who moan.

Go to /watch?v=paqerBKXqss instead. Annoying to see reuploads get more views than originals.

Thank you for uploading this! Really nice translation.

[PerXX82]

While a very beautiful song, this is a rather poor translation of the original, nor does it properly display the spirit and intent behind the original.

[PetterVessel]

Hvordan skal ordet om fred ellers spres om ikke på forskjellige språk? Ja, det er en norsk sang, men den burde vært alles.

I think Nordahl Grieg wold turn in his grave over his poem bieng used for a one world gouverment cause.

[alekjensen]

fuck you this is a norwegian song you have destryed it

[Drummeh]

@alekjensen Is her name Rob Sinclair? Nope, didn't think so. She didn't destroy the song, if you want to blame someone, blame Mr. Sinclair. I for one think that it's great that he translated it so most people can understand it, not just Norwegians. I think it was good :)

[videolecture]

Very good!!!

[therealthalion]

Ååååååååå !!! enn å ødelegge en så fin sang..Gremmes på denne "sangerens" vegne

[grazie0316]

i like it thanks for uploading!

[ivleontellus]

a excellent poem

[gunthaarz]

I like it. Except the One World Government thing. A corrupt world government ruled by powermad tyrants would be worse than anything else. People and nations do not start wars. Elites do. And for the last 50 years all wars have been controlled and started by t USA. Local Democracy means putting the power to the people. Small nations have better democracy than large ones. The EU is the most corrupt institution the world ever saw. It wastes limitless amounts of resources and accomplishes nothing
