Lyrics
VINTERNATT
No kveikjer Vårherre sitt joletre
i den kvite vinternatt.
All den glitrande stasen, barn,
vilde du gjerne hatt.Himmelgrani so fin og blå
har greiner av tandrande ljos;
karlsvogner kjem frå langferd der,
og måneskip sigler sin kos.Du vil gripa og leika, barn.
Og kanskje skal di hand
ein gong plukka månar ned
og sløkkja stjernor i brand.Words: Olav H. Hauge
from «Under bergfallet» / «Beneath the Crag» (1951)

Strings and Brass arr by Finn Coren Strings orchestrated by Dagfinn Koch
copyright Finn Coren / Bard Records 2004 all rights reservedWINTER NIGHT
Our Lord now lights up his Christmas Tree
in the white winter night.
All that glittering splendour, child,
you'd like to be yours.The heavenly spruce is fine and blue
its branches sparkle and sparkle.
Charles' Wains arrive from afar
and moonships follow their courses.You want to catch hold and play, child.
And perhaps one day your hand
will pluck moons down
and put out burning stars.- English translation by Robin Fulton copyright Robin Fulton all rights reserved

Lyrics
EG DREG IFRÅ GLASET
Eg dreg ifrå glaset fyrr eg legg meg,
eg vil sjå det levande myrkret når eg vaknar,
og skogen og himmelen. Eg veit ei grav
som ikkje har glugg mot stjernone.
No er Orion komen i vest, alltid jagande -
han er ikkje komen lenger enn eg.
Kirsebærtreet utanfor er nake og svart.
I den svimlande blå himmelklokka
ritar morgonmånen med hard nagl.Words: Olav H. Hauge
from «På Ørnetuva» / «On the Eagle’s Tussock» (1961)

Flute arr. by Finn Coren
copyright Finn Coren / Bard Records 2004 all rights reservedI OPEN THE CURTAIN
Before going to bed I open the curtain,
I want to see the living darkness when I wake,
and the forest and the sky. I know a grave
without a peep-hole to the stars.
Orion's come in the west, forever on the hunt -
he's come no further than I.
The cherry tree outside is bare and black.
In the huge blue curve of heaven
the morning moon draws with a hard nail.- English translation by Robin Fulton copyright Robin Fulton and Anvil Press, London all rights reserved
