'my little country'
Regardless of where life takes me, I will always feel Norway a very special part of me.
I saw the video below today and had to share. One the things I continue to enjoy and savor about Norway is the incredible beauty of the country. Check it out....
Also, in the Norwegian theme, I thought I would share a beautiful Norwegian song's lyrics, 'Mitt Lille Land'. I a lovely tune and I think it shows a lot about the Norwegian people. See English translation below
Norwegian lyrics….
Mitt lille land
Et lite sted, en håndfull fred
slengt ut blant vidder og fjord
Mitt lille land
Der høye fjell står plantet
mellom hus og mennesker og ord
Og der stillhet og drømmer gror
Som et ekko i karrig jord
Mitt lille land
Der havet stryker mildt og mykt
som kjærtegn fra kyst til kyst
Mitt lille land
Der stjerner glir forbi
og blir et landskap når det blir lyst
mens natten står blek og tyst
Mitt lille land
Et lite sted en håndfull fred
slengt ut blant vidder og fjord
Mitt lille land
Der høye fjell står plantet
mellom hus og mennesker og ord
Og der stillhet og drømmer gror
Som et ekko i karrig jord
English translation…
My little country
A little place, a handful of peace
thrown out among mountain plateau and fjords
My little country
Where high mountains are planted
among houses, people and words
Where silence and dreams grow
Like an echo in barren earth
My little country
Where the sea pats mild and soft
like it’s caressing from coast to coast
My little country
Where stars glide by
and becomes landscapes when it gets lighter
while the night stands there – bleak and silent
My little country
A little place, a handful of peace
thrown out among mountain plateau and fjords
My little country
Where high mountains are planted
among houses, people and words
Where silence and dreams grow
Like an echo in barren earth
hugs from B-town,
