Solveig's song

[Babylonvox]

Только одна роза для тебя, мой любимый, только одна роза

и человеческого пятно умрет вместе с тенями в темном сне. . .

Сегодня вечером, ночью, Товарищ.

, какой замечательный шедевр. Наконец кто-то понял, что мы не такие разные. . .

[milava0]

Зима пройдёт, и весна промелькнёт, и весна промелькнёт.

Увянут все цветы, снегом их заметёт, снегом их заметёт.

И ты ко мне вернёшься, мне сердце говорит, мне сердце говорит.

Тебе верна останусь, тобой лишь буду жить, тобой лишь буду жить.

Ко мне ты вернёшься, полюбишь ты меня, полюбишь ты меня.

От бед и от несчастий тебя укрою я, тебя укрою я.

Если ж никогда мы не встретимся с тобой, не встретимся с тобой,

То всё же любить я буду тебя, о милый мой, тебя, о милый мой.

[Anusia767]

Nagyon gyönyörű!Jó pár előadásban meghallgattam itt Solveig dalát, szerintem ez a legszebb!

[Bogust5]

Dedykuję ten utwór mojej Buziulce

[hakuXkio]

I'm doing this song for solo and ensemble this year lol and im SUPER nervous!!

[hiphop2983]

The persons voice is so pure and light!!! An angel voice. The only thing I didn't love was the drums in the background.... But great song! I could actually understand what she was singing, which is great!!... Cuz when you go up that high it's so damn difficult!!!

[bofflunz]

this interpretation does't find the intended mood.

what a horrible track, sorry. don't like it at all.

[Xternium]

I get to play this song for my band auditions this year on my oboe and this video has helped a lot!

[paulostroff99]

Awesome!  TY.

[Sunflowers159]

I've never heard of Meav, but she has a lovely clear voice. I sing this too.

[eddi290859]

Pierwszy raz słyszę ten utwór w wokalu ,i muszę przyznać że b.ładny :))

Jako instrumentalny jest w moim folderze "Perełki Muzyki" ; )

[murph512tas]

what a lovely tune, this was played at my auntie's funeral yesterday, and was of Norweigen background. May she rest in piece.

[chunxia62]

"The winter may pass and the spring disappear

The spring disappear

The summer too will vanish and then the year

And then the year

But this I know for certain: you'll come back again

You'll come back again

And even as I promised you'll find me waiting then

You'll find me waiting then

[LA6NPA]

What the hell?? What are you doing?? This is well played, but you can't do that with this song! My heart is bleeding!!

[Heimdall209]

If you're refering to the woodwind accompiniment I agree. Its suppose to be a piano solo.

[LA6NPA]

The whoal thing, actually, even down to the choice of singer and the languege. I miss a really good recording of this on youtube, though Marita Solberg did an OK job in Holmenkollen with Krinkastingsorkesteret. Even if she coloured it in a bit in unnecessary places.

[LA6NPA]

Fuck. Wasn't Holmenkollen. Probably wasn't even the right orchestra, but is the right singer! :D It's good, though.

[russiancatsima]

What a heavenly voice! Nice slide show. To these visitors who ask questions: Solveig Song was composed by Edward Grieg for the play Per Gunt by Henric Ibsen. All the info and lyrics are avalaible on Inet, and there are many related version here, too. By the way, on my web site i have my own version , the simplier version of the text. The point was that Solveig waited for her beloved Per for all her life, while he was travelling all over the World. Her name is a symbol of loyality and love.

[Leilazul]

Celestial!!! Gracias!!!

[Funtasty2]

thats my name xDD :P

[Tudela100]

Fraseo único,bella voz,, la Canción del Solvej es un dechado de pureza vocal,bella ,,cantarla es algo único..

[CreateWoodstock]

Is there any way you could give me the lyrics to this song? It would be greatly appreciated, thank you. :]

[Subtalvik2]

Google it.

[spasticwalrus]

Do you mean that the song is SUNG by Meav or that it was composed by Meav beacuse if it is the latter you were thinking of then you are wrong as Grieg composed this piece, but if you meant the former then I apologise as THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!!

[flavoredwallpaper]

It goes without saying that Grieg composed this. Clearly he means this is sung by Meav.

Jesus...

[eyert]

Sung by Meav; surely. I just thought that Solveig's song in Peer Gynt was famous enough to know that Grieg composed this, so I didn't need to say it.

[niculita30]

Sensible !

[venusondrugs]

does anyone have the score for this in F minor? (german or english?)

[AbbeyNormal]

I've never heard it in English before, very nice, and a beautiful voice on the singer!

[almafiina]

Lyrics: The winter may pass and the spring disappear And the spring disappear The summer, too, will vanish and then the year And then the year But this I know for certain, that you'll come back again That you'll come back again And even as I promised, you'll find me waiting then You'll find me waiting then Yes, even as I promised, you'll find me waiting then You'll find me waiting then

[almafiina]

I love so much this kind of music!

[nhanvu2007]

One of the most beautiful master piece

[zzzooooo]

WOW!

Sound of scent flower!

[laflutistee]

C'est agréable, la voix est légère, douce...

[TillEulen]

The voice is beautiful, but language - suxxx... Sorry.

[bodzio4062]

Language, or translation?

[TillEulen]

Both. I can listen this song only norwegian.

[bodzio4062]

I can understand that someone could criticize translation into a different language. Saying that "language" sucks is simply ... dumb, makes no sense.

Again, without understanding a single word, I LOVE the music of Grieg. It helps me to cope with my strong feelings towards Norway every time when a new ridiculous, politically motivated, Nobel Prize is announced. The music of great Grieg helps me forgive and forget.

[Vidverto]

Bravo, bravo...

[LoveJozzan]

Beautiful

[oXxSweetHoneyxXo]

I cant say it... it's sad but wonderful..so many emotions *.*

[gctlcda]

Lovely rendition for one of my favorite songs! Thx for the great upload.

[dojusticelovemercy]

Thank you...I will look her up:-).

[dojusticelovemercy]

This voice is sublime. Is this Charlotte Church?

[ChrisSunHwa]

Her name is Meav. She used to be part of the group Anuna.

[Syliam86]

It's the best version i've ever heard ! thanks ! ;)

[ShadowheartXBass]

I really want to find this version of this song its great

[hollabelle]

what is that high note, a b flat?

[CaKiJaCa]

My favourite song. This is a fantastic version, her voice is haunting.

[Xeroth16]

i love kamelot - forever

its based on this song

[gothic6662]

Really i heard at Kamelot's live recordings that their song Forever is based on some old Edvard Grieg composition, well if someone could explain me background off all this???

[kothmac]

You can hear the influence starting at 2:00

[littlekitten]

yes, yes it is. khan says it himself. lol. i don't know the background story though. try wikipedia or something. or check to see if kamelot has a fan forum. ps- I FUCKING LOVE KAMELOT. :3

[tkdkid91]

They are my favorite band. Period. And Forever is probably my favorite song by them. SO amazing.

[moogle890]

There aren't even words to describe the beauty of this song. The video was well done to.

[LittleMastodon]

The music is, of course, by Grieg, but the original lyrics were written in Norwegian by Henrik Ibsen for his play "peer Gynt."

When I listen to this masterpiece, I feel proud of being Norwegian =)

[cyton7]

wow, great ! one of my favorite versions

[InweAdina]

This is my favorite version :) <3

[Letzebuergisch]

Wonderful, many many thanks

[flippinfl00b]

check out Forever by Kamelot the melody is based on this.

[Iwernite]

Wow, you are right. I love both melodies.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Never heard this in English. Thanks for the experience.

[kawlynn]

im the last person on the earth that would lisen to this but wow HOT SHIT!

[b43xoit]

The singing is beautiful, no doubt. The part that was translated is matched very well to the music. The translation leaves out the verse about God's "fodskammel" and all that.

[chadandzaclover]

its actualy a norwegian song from Peer gynt

[ktg8]

There exists also beautiful version of this piece by polish duet: Marek & Wacek (pianists), I really recommend it! But it is quite difficult to find their performance.

[yourownsilverspoon]

This reminds me of the days when I used to listen to Charlote Church.

This is the first time I've heard this song and I already think its gorgeous

[playerpancho]

its a way better on german

[FlinkerDifar]

Fuck you

[Mirithing]

And even better in Norwegian :)

[Serge165]

To WHom it may concern: How did you get all these transitions?

[mirezwer]

great

[Plaitine]

that is so beautiful.

and my name is solveig too :D

[Broowny]

Oh! I love this song, and I feel so sorry for her...<3

[abby495]

i love this song wow how beautiful it is peer gynt

[coquettiquette]

A song like this should be sung much much more magestically and with a longing that just won't go away!!

[Pagenafein]

/watch?v=GZKV7QR8a5g

[ladomi7962]

tres jolie voix et images!

[Solveig92]

ich krieg vor staunen den Mund nicht mehr zu...wow

[budapest53]

GORGEOUS !!!

[Quentiris]

This sounds really great. Her voice is so tender. Solveig has been waiting for Peer Gynt for 50 years... True love...

Does anyone know if there is an opera or just an incidental music for "Peer Gynt"?

[coco2lin]

Peer Gynt is not an opera it's actually a play by henrik ibsen and this is its incidental music. my favourite recording is the 1987 "highlights" made by deutsche grammophon, conducted by neeme jarvi with barbara bonney singing this song beautifully (in norwegian).and as much as a love anuna i love barbara more.

[M4RL03SJ3]

You should listen 'Peer Gynt Suites, From Holberg's Time, Sigurd Jorsalfar' too, it's a very good recording. I'll play Peer Gynt (the play) next month, in Aase's role.

[tommyhtc]

that is poor...

[fjordking]

does not sound right in English?

[sarahbobsezzive]

this is definitely NOT Sarah Brightman.....she is much more amazing and this is a little child who doesn't have a good voice!!

[Fucoc]

i admit i was wrong :| But hey, she's a quite good singer, this one too?

[tutu1987]

i guess u'd sing it better... lol

[rghm]

Meav (self-titled album, '99) 94-98, principal soloist with Irish chamber choir Anúna; toured the US as soloist with RTÉ Concert Orch; toured S Africa with Lord of the Dance; gave concerts in Japan & S Korea. - wikipedia

[diegeiga]

Absolutley chilling and haunting. Peer Gynt left Solvieg after being cursed by the troll king's daughter to only think of her when he looked at Solveg, his true love. When he comes back to her and asks her where he has been she sings this song of loyalty and melancholy.

[Whistlestar]

Who is the voice? It's beautiful!

[Fucoc]

Sarah Brightman.

[Whistlestar]

Are you sure about that? Usually SB sings with a horrible vibrato in her voice and this voice seems a lot younger.

[Fucoc]

I am not one hundred percent sure, but she is the only one i have found that sings this lyrics in english. I guess the only way to find out is to look for the song on cd's covers, and see if somebody else also have song it in english.

but if you think it sounds younger it could be that she did this song a long time ago.

[lakriskat]

It's really Méav

I found out on amazon.

[Whistlestar]

Thank you so much for that. I am going to look for other stuff by her. Beautiful voice, like a fairy singing.

[hanshenrik2]

lovely piece! my favourite Grieg! thx for posting =)
