Skognissevise (Folkesang)

Skognissevise, a Norwegian folksong. In english the title would be "forestgoblin ballad", even though a nisse and goblin is not exactly the same.
Nisser usually live in barns and farm buildings at farms(In Norway). There are also husnisser, which live in houses, båtnisser, which live on Norwegian boats, and skogsnisser which lives in the forest. Nisser/fjøsnisser is the most common type and is best known, it has roots back to the viking age, and its a old tradition to set out porridge for him on Yule's day, its a offering to make him pleased so he will guard ur farm and ur animals and help you take care of it.

Cool!!

If one can judge by the picture, it looks like it could be related to a "Forest Gnome". That might be the English or Germanic term... not sure. Thank You for posting the video!!

you know that nisser also can make a lot of trouble if you don't please them, you most make them happy if not they can do you and your animals very unhappy, and you can't move away from them either they can move with you and make a lot of trouble for the rest of your lifte.

[nordaky]

Jeg skjønner ikke sangteksten (bortsett fra når han med mørk stemme synger alene). Kan noen hjelpe meg med teksten?

[linselusa]
