My amateur translation of the lyrics:

The Days

Once the caresses came all by themselves
And each day was filled with silver
For you gilded each moment with a free mind
And dazzled I joined your journey

Days like sand flow from our hands
If you doubt, then feel
One like the other goes with the wind
And the time we have goes there

Promise that you'll stay with me all your days
Yes, we made that promise together
So I gave you a ring, it was easily done
Then that day too sneaks quietly away

So far away
So far away
Like the wind can chase the blue waves
There will I follow you, my friend
There will we find them again

And outside sneaks the devil
and separates you from me
And if we had known,
we would have taken off
And I'd have carried you on my arm
through forest and over mountain
And you'd have held my hand
through gorge and dark ravine
And I'd have reached out for you
And you'd have reached out for me

So far away
So far away
So far as the sun can follow the blue waves
There will I follow you, my friend
There will we find them again

[Caprica06]

Så vakkert! What an amazing song.  Unfortunately my Norsk is not very good. Would anyone have an english translation of the song?

[kaarekjohnsen]

@Caprica06 Yes, I agree with you - it's amazing! One of the very best songs Nordstoga has written. See the info now - I have made an amateur translation of the lyrics.

The most beautiful song I have ever heard, together with "Upp gläd er alla", also written by Odd Nordstoga. I love these two musicians - their beautiful voices match so perfectly, and also their pleasant personalities. I love watching and listening to them. Thanks for uploading this wonderful concert!

[kaarekjohnsen]

Check out "Rosevev" with Kim André Rysstad here on YouTube - the melody for that one is also written by Odd Nordstoga. Truly a great songwriter!

[Springback11]

The net address for NRK1 Nett has the full show. I would post the link but this thing won't let me. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[kaarekjohnsen]

The NRK web TV address for the full show is in the info. (And links/addresses are not allowed in the comments on YouTube, so that's why cannot write it there.)

Takk for posting and tusen takk for the engelsk lyrics.

What a beautiful song and Sissel and Odd together make it perfect!

I still can't understand why this concert isn't released on DVD. It really was a

"Strålande Jule" from beginning to end!

[solensdatter2]
