Danish text:
Præludium / Sig Nærmer Tiden, Da Jeg Må Væk
Sig nærmer Tiden, da jeg må væk,
jeg hører Vinterens Stemme;
Thi også jeg er kun her på Træk,
og haver andensteds hjemme.
Jeg vidste længe, jeg skal herfra;
det Hjærtet ikke betynger,
Og derfor lige glad nu og da
på gennemrejse jeg synger.
Jeg skulle sjunget lidt mer' måske -
måske vel også lidt bedre;
Men mørke Dage jeg måtte se,
og Storme rev mine Fjædre.
Jeg vilde gerne i Guds Natur
med Frihed spændt mine Vinger,
Men sidder fast i mit snævre Bur,
det alle vegne mig tvinger.
Jeg vilde gerne fra højen Sky
udsendt de gladere Sange;
Men blive må jeg for Kost og Ly
en stakkels gjældbunden Fange.
Tit ligevel til en Smule Trøst
jeg ud af Fængselet titter,
Og sender stundom min Vemodsrøst
med længsel gennem mit Gitter.
Lyt og, o Vandrer! til denne Sang,
lidt af din Vej Du hidtræde!
Gud véd, måske det er sidste Gang
du hører Livsfangen kvæde.
Mig bæres for, som ret snart i kvæld
at Gitterværket vil briste;
Thi kvidre vil jeg et ømt Farvel;
måske det bliver det sidste.

English translation:
Prelude
The time when I must leave approaches,
I'm hearing the voice of winter;
For I, too, am only here migrating
belonging elsewhere.
I've known for a long time I must leave this place;
it doesn't make my heart heavy,
And therefor, I just as happily, now and then,
sing while passing through.
Perhaps I should have sung a bit more -
perhaps a little better as well;
But I had to see dark days,
and storms tore my feathers.
I would have liked to spread my wings
with freedom in God's nature,
But I'm stuck in my narrow cage,
it forces me everywhere.
I would have liked to emit
the happier songs form high above;
But for food and shelter, I must become
a poor, indebted prisoner.
I often look towards a bit of comfort
outside my prison nonetheless,
And sometimes, I send my sorrowful voice
through my grid with yearning.
Listen, o wanderer! to this song,
you'll walk a bit of your path!
God knows, perhaps it'll be the last time
you'll hear the lifetime prisoner sing.
I'm told, like quite soon tonight
that the grid will break;
Therefore I will tweet a tender goodbye;
perhaps it will be the last one.

I don't understand a word she's singing. But I don't have to.

Jeg håber, at en dag, laver hun en studio version af sangen.

She turns Danish into a beautiful language. Sorry Danes, but it took a Faroese to achieve this.

[@bengtmoss-petersen3126]

She makes the words sound as if sung out of another century, magically, winterly.

[@FM-lr2qj]

Maybe you haven´t heard much... Listen to Sorten Muld or Ane Dorthe Michelsen singing Danish. Or listen to the words, so profound and deeb thats hard to achive in inglish. Eivør is doing it exelent, she is making us feel the profoundnes of the words even without need of understanding the meaning. Thats why she is great artist.

[@donepearce]

@@FM-lr2qj My family is from the Faroes, and I have spent a lot of time in Denmark. I know it is possible for a Dane to speak Danish beautifully, but the average Dane simply doesn't. The chopped-off vowels do not make for pleasant listening - at least to the ear of a native English speaker.

[@FM-lr2qj]

@@donepearce You are rigth, danish is n ot easy and have a lot vocals that dosent exist in other langueges. I have traveled trough england and not everywere they are speaking beatifull like you hear in downing street. I know also a couple of lageges that sonds more beatifull than inglish. But the most important is that all people in hole world feel free to speak their own languege without been judged and critisiced.

[@donepearce]

@@FM-lr2qj English probably has more different accents than any other language (in England, not so much in the USA), and they are all great. In England we are sued to them and have no trouble understanding each other. Americans generally have trouble understanding any English person who is not from London. Last time I was in Kobenhavn I stayed at a hotel with a receptionist I could have sworn was from Manchester. No. She was Danish, but had worked in Manchester for a year. She was an amazing linguist.

[@theohuioiesin6519]

Jeg begynder lige at græde bare af at høre en lille smule. Helt sindssygt godt!

[@carolined5923]

I can hear Irish traditional singing in this. The world is connected through music. Wonderful voice and music

[@rabautios]

Eivor identifies partly celtic, because her nation does have germanic/nordic viking and celtic roots. She is iften dressed in green.

Helt sikkert også min favoritsang. So utrolig reflekterende og sørgelig. Det mister dog en del af magien ved oversættelsen til Engelsk.
