Bred Dina Vida Vingar
(Swedish Sacred Song)

Bred dina vida vingar,
O Jesus, øver mig
Och lat meg stilla vila i ve
ock vel hos dig
Bliv du mitt allt i alla.
Min visdom och mitt rad
Och lat mig alla dagar
Fa leva blott av nad!

==[Lyric (English)]===================

Spread your wide wings

Spread your wide wings,
O Jesus, over me
and let me quietly rest
safely near you.
Become my everything,
my wisdom - and advice me
and let me live from your mercy
every day!

I love her version of this wounderful Swedish sacred song! She gives a deeper meeing to the words by Lina Sandell! Thank you! (I don't agree that her Swedish is horrible - it is certainly much better than my Korean!)

[karpov89]

I am indeed impressed! How come she sings this classic? I thought it was unknown outside Scandinavia, and especially in Korea!

[PEAinSwe]

Her Swedish is impressingly good!!!  (I can say that as being swedish.)

[karpov89]

@poopsicunt Well of course it is not perfect but what can be espected? The Korean language is totally different from Swedish. But a great performance it is.

[acitipo]

Que belleza de timbre!!!!!

Estamos ante una de las mejores sopranos de este siglo, que timbre mas hermosos, y que riqueza de armonicos....

[tissetatten]

HELT FANTASTISKT! It really shows how music connects us all!

[Millionennr1]

[dedde77]

Well done...Bra gjort...

[akemilsson]

the swedish was not so bad. she made the right vowel sound but sometimes in wrong place. å sounds like aw engl or au french.

Bred dina vida vingar, o jesus över mig och låt mig stilla vila i väl och ve hos dig. Bliv Du mitt råd och låt mig alla dagar få leva blott av nåd. (ö = french eux, ä= engl. air)

[poopsicunt]

why people coment on the language?just listen the voice and melody ,for me its perfect [the Swedish] L.O.L

[ThemeBoyNorway]

Everybody who like this version should listen to the Norwegian soprano Sissel. Her version of this song is amazing. Check it out here. In English this song is called "Spread Your Wide Wings".
