Deilig er jorden,
prektig er Guds himmel,
skjønn er sjelenes pilgrimsgang.
Gjennom de fagre
riker på jorden
går vi til paradis med sang.

Tider skal komme,
tider skal henrulle,
slekt skal følge slekters gang.
Aldri forstummer
tonen fra himlen
i sjelens glade pilgrimssang.

Englene sang den,
først for markens hyrder;
skjønt fra sjel til sjel det lød.
Fred over jorden,
menneske fryd deg.
Oss er en evig Frelser født.

~ B.S. Ingemann

“Deilig er jorden” er en julesalme, teksten er skrevet av B.S. Ingemann i 1850, til en tysk folkemelodi fra 1842. Ingemanns tittel var “Pilgrimssang”, mens “Deilig er jorden” er den første linjen. Den tyske originalteksten er “Schönster Herr Jesu”.

Ingemann var rystet over den brutale krigen mellom Danmark og Preussen, og skrev teksten på bakgrunn av slaget på Isted. (Fra wikipedia)

Julesanger – ny versjon

juletreI 2010 skrev jeg et innlegg om mine favoritt-julesanger. Det har ikke forandret seg noe særlig på de fem årene som har gått ser jeg. Men sangene er spilt inn av nye artister og kommet i nye versjoner. Så jeg vil skrive om dem en gang til.

Først; Mary, did you know som har tekst skrevet av Mark Lowry og med musikk av Buddy Greene. Mark Lowry skrev teksten i 1984 da pastoren i kirken hans spurte om han kunne skrive en julesang til kirkekoret. Mark Lowry skrev teksten med utgangspunkt i hvordan Maria oppfattet det å være Jesu mor. Sangen ble først utgitt av Michael English i 1992. Dette er en av mine favorittgrupper, Pentatonix, sin versjon

Så Nordnorsk julesalme. Den har både tekst og melodi av Trygve Hoff. Sangen ble introdusert i barne-TV-serien «Lyset i mørketida» på midten av 1980-tallet.

The little drummer boy ble skrevet av pianisten Katherine K. Davis i 1941. Historien i sangen ligner på en legende fra 1200 tallet. Det ble skrevet en opera (Le jongleur de Notre-Dame) rundt denne legenden i 1902, og gitt ut en film om den i 1984 (The Juggler of Notre Dame). Sangen het opprinnelig Carol of the Drum og ble basert på en tsjekkisk folketone.

Fairytale of New York er en populær julesang av den irske folk/punk-gruppen The Pogues. Sangen er skrevet av Pogues-medlemmene Jem Finer og Shane MacGowan. Den ble først sluppet på singel i 1987 og var deretter med på albumet If I Should Fall from Grace with God fra 1988. I tillegg til The Pogues deltar den britiske sangerinnen Kirsty MacColl og sangen er en duett mellom henne og Shane MacGowan. Sangen har blitt kåret til «tidenes beste julesang» av den britiske musikkanalen VH-1.

Halvdan Sivertsen synger en nydelig norsk versjon av Fairytale of new York. På norsk har den fått tittelen Storbyjul.

 

Ønsker deg en velsignet fjerde søndag i advent. Nå er det snart jul!

life is for living

You and me, our life is drifting along
Watching the world as it's singing its song.
High above, someone is calling to me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home.

Turn around and see the circles we spin
and we're taking our chances on where we begin.
Up above, the rain is falling on me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home.

Taking up time trying to write a line 'till the break of day
Given a sign can you make it rhyme tell me what to say
Making it fine can you ease my mind help me drift away.

Turn around and see the circles we spin
takin' our chances on where we begin.
Up above, the rain is falling on me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home.

hallelujah

I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

~ Jeff Buckley

another cup of coffee

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As she contemplates the stain across the wall
And it’s in between the cleaning and the washing
That’s when looking back’s
The hardest part of all

And she always did her best to try and please him
While he always did his best to make her cry
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
But he always knew one day he’d say goodbye

Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone

And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
As he packs away the pieces of his life
They all love him but they always try to change him
That’s what happens when a girl becomes a wife

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
And it’s in between the leaving and the loving
That’s when looking back’s
The hardest part of all

Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone

Don’t look back
Don’t give up
Pour yourself another cup

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I’m so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have

~ Desmond Child/Richard Sambora
