Well... I guess I'm the first to comment here. I live in Northern Norwegian, exactly where this accent is spoken. Well... I'm at loss for words. What a soulful performance! The singer, musicians, arrangement, the audio mixer, the film maker... WOW! Touching! Thank you!

This was a pleasant surprise! Was surfing for covers, and this really stood out! Good job on the Norwegian, and a powerful, soulful classic voice, accompanied by a great band

I find it facinating that some random irish band "understands" this song better then most Norwegian artist :P

Det e ikkje alltid det går - Things don't always go sånn som du hadde tenkt - as you planned in your mind Det e ikkje allid du når - You don't always reach den ferga du kunne ha ha trengt - the ferry you could have needed du ser bare lysan der ute - you only see her lights in the distance på vei til et ainna sted - onwards to a new destination å du som var fire minutter ifra - and you who were only 4 minuts from en ny begynnelse - a new beginning E du nord i landet da - Are you then north in the country then (are you above the arctic circle) Har du mer enn ei ferge å miste - Do you have more then a ferry to loose Du e ikkje den første som ho går ifra - Your not the first one she leaves og du blir ikkje heller den siste - and you won't be the last one either E du nord i landet da - are you north of the arctic then E du nord i landet da - are you north of the arctic then Ser ikkje sol i desember - See no sun in december sola har bedre vett - the sun has more common sence Natta spis av dagen din - The night eats of your day Og blir visst aldri mett - And apperantly never gets full Himmelen har ikkje nordlys - the sky has no northern lights Stjernan har begynt før seg sjøl - the stars have started their own busniess Selg seg i alle butikkan - Sells them self in all the stores (christmas star decoration) Så det blir ingen stjerne å følg - So there is no star to follow E du nord i landet da - are you north of the arctic then Skal du bare la mørket råde - are you only going to let the darkness rule For en kveld , en kveld trekkes teppet fra - Because one night , one night the curtain opens Å du kjenner et lys av Guds nåde - And you can feel a light of Gods mercey E du nord i landet da - Are you north of the arctic then E du nord i landet da - Are you north of the arctic then Det e ikkje alltid du når - You don't always reach landet før vinden har snudd - shore before the wind has turned Det e ikkje alltid det går - Things don't always go sånn som du hadde trudd - as you planned in your mind Men der e du ikkje aleina - But in that regard you are never alone Der e det mange som ror - There many people are rowing og krysser hverandre i mørket - and crosses each other in the darkness over en åpen fjord - over an open fjord E du nord i landet da - Are you above the arctic then E du gjennom den svarteste tia - Are you through the darkest time Våren har sett deg og sjøven ifra - The spring has seen you and pushed away du e snart på den andre sia - You are soon on the other side E du nord i landet da - Are you above the arctic then E du nord i landet da - Are you above the arctic then
