Sissel Kyrkjebo, 1991, Blant alle Guder

a very nice song, by Sissel. In a church, at the occasion of a tour in the Faroes islands, in 1991.

I like the song so much. And she is so majestic in her youth. You can't look away from her when she sings.

The song is called SORIA MORIA. Sissel recorded it in 1989.

The lyrics are written in the late 17th century by Norwegian priest af poet Petter Dass. He elaborates on the line "Our Father - thou who art in Heaven". It translates: Among all the gods no one is as great as our. Everyone calls him "Our father" and rightully so because he treats us like a father should: Lots of wonderful fresh fishes come from the salty sea, our fishing hook is blessed, our nakes body is dressed in wool and linen, coarse and fine.

Pensaba decir magistral, pero esa palabra queda corta aun

[@Andynor93]

It means somthing like "Among all the gods".

Other people turn to more mortal gods but to no avail. These gods of flesh and blood are like chaffs and within a few years they will vanish. If you love the filthy lucre you will turn toward the gold and try to hide your poor god in a cloth; by I will stick to my God Zebaoth, he is my shield and my castle no matter what happens. If you want to know for sure the dwelling place and land of our god then look to the heaven, there he is seated, there is his palace.
