This event was my first contact to the music of Mari Boine. Watching TV to the wedding and then this music... Breathtakingly beautiful! Since then I'm a big fan of Mari Boine and her wonderful music!
This is symbolic aswell as beautiful in its own right, as joik, the Sami traditional folk singing, was not allowed near a church up to a generation or two ago. For the Crown Princely couple to embrace it so warmly at their wedding, the future leaders of the country, shows acceptance and love for the native traditions of Norway - of whom Mari Boine and her beautiful song is a great example of. The note at the very end, is just pure magnificence..
I have heard this song sung by many great singers. But I would say that this is the best performance. Although I don't understand the Sami words, her way of singing this song is just breathtaking. I also think this live performance is far better than the studio version (in the Salmer Pa Veien Hjem album)! Tusen Takk!!!
You can translate this lyrics by Google Translate. Mitt hjerte alltid vanker i Jesu føderom, der samles mine tanker som i sin hovedsum. Der er min lengsel hjemme, der har min tro sin skatt; jeg kan deg aldri glemme velsignet julenatt! Akk, kom jeg opp vil lukke mitt hjerte og mitt sinn og full av lengsel sukke: Kom, Jesus, dog herinn! Det er ei fremmed bolig, du har den selv jo kjøpt, så skal du blive trolig her i mitt hjerte svøpt. Jeg gjerne palemgrene vil om din krybbe strø, for deg, for deg alene jeg leve vil og dø. Kom, la min sjel dog finne sin rette gledes stund, at du er født herinne i hjertets dype grunn
Et forunderligt stykke nordisk kulturhistorie, der begyndte med, at en dansk præst sad og skrev en salme i et hertugdømme, der blev administreret på tysk.
Is he not lucky to have won the love of a woman he himself loves? That a woman has born a child of man, does not render her unworthy or unloveable. They are testiment to the fact that love is love, and love is unconditional. Any boundaries are in the beliefs of the viewer, not the whole. If you choose to buy into what you believe the masses think, knock yourself out. Though be aware that you allow your beliefs to limit you also!
Una canción mística de los indígenas Sami del Norte de Noruega. Con un registro tonal antiguo diferente al que acostumbramos a escuchar. Que tiene la virtud de hacer vibrar fibras sutiles del corazón. Una canción hecha oración. Una oración hecha canción.
Wonderful song.Artist Mari also wearing lappish national costyme and she sing lappish language.We have 3 languages in Norway : Lappish,new norwegian and book Norwegian.I do not sp lappish
Wearing a Sámi gákti* She sings in Northern Sámi* We have Sámi, Norwegian (Bokmål) and Norwegian (Nynorsk) as official languages. Using ''lappish'' to describe Sámis and Sámi culture is incredibly offensive. Perhaps avoid using that as it is a derogatory and racist term. Thanks :)
@prickas As far as I know, you`re right that this is a christmascarol performed in the Royal Wedding Ceremony in august but mockery every norwegians is unneccessary. It looks like you have general problems with norwegians. Recently I swedish net papers after yesterdays champion female boxing match Mikaela Lauren vs Cecilia Brækhus. Based on the comments most swedes are polite to norwegians. You represent yourself. You don`t represent every swede or sweden.
@pernorway ååååååååååå Per spelmann han hadde ei einaste ku. Han bytte bort kua, fekk fela igjen! «Du gamle gode fiolin, du fiolin, åååå du fela mi!» /danser rundt med nissebunaden og spiser brunost. For noe ræl!
