Sissel, the international singing sensation from Norway, is widely regarded as one of the finest and most talented sopranos in the world. Her crystalclear voice has made Sissel a national institution in Norway. Sissel has sung all over the world, selling over six million solo albums. She contributed the haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic. She has been doing great duets with singers like Placido Domingo, Charles Aznavour, Bryn Terfel, Jose Carreras, Russell Watson, Neil Sedaka and Josh Groban. A very remarkable voice you will only hear once in your lifetime.

This is a Faroese song. the song's full name is "tíðin rennur sum streymur í á", and written by the Faroese poet: Fríðrikur Petersen, in 1892.

Tidin rennur sum streymur í á,
titt munu bylgjurnar falla:
lítlum báti rekist eg á,
áraleysur at kalla.

Og hvør ein løta og hvør ein stund
at stóra fossinum dregur:
treigist mitt hjarta, tyngist min lund,
hvar er úr neydini vegur?

Hvør hevur vinur vilja og mátt
at bjarga mær til landa?
Allir eru á likan hátt
staddir sum eg í vanda.

Ein hevur vinur vilja og mátt
at bjarga mær frá grandi;
Jesus kann føra in lítla bát
trygt at himla-sandi.

Tidin rennur sum streymur í á,
fram i harrans navni!
Litlum báti eri eg á,
himla-strond fyri stavni
