Thank you all for your lovely comments, i have read every single one of them ❤️ I’m so happy that you like the cover! Many of you are asking if I’ll be recording another cover soon, I’m pretty out of practice but would like to give it a try! Watch this space..
I love this lullaby, my husband is Norwegian, I thought it was a Norwegian lullaby, but then I learned it was Swedish. So beautiful...you sang it perfect 💓 what a beautiful voice

A beautiful song and a beautiful voice. Also, a hint of a beautiful smile there at the end. :) I have Swedish ancestry and will try to learn this to sing to my new grandchild. Thank you so much and I look forward to checking out other songs you may have done.
I love this. My mother used this as a lullaby. She would translate it to Norwegian. Im in music school and they use twinkle twinkle so everyone knows it but this is the song I grew up with as a child.
I have been playing your video over and over for my 15 month old granddaughter to get her to sleep. My father taught me this song when my sons were little. His Swedish born grandma sang it to him so it lives on in America. Thanks for such a beautiful rendition! She loves to watch you play it and I like your other videos too! :-)

ååh va underbart! har letat efter den här låten med just den här texten jättelänge och så kom den med en enormt vacker röst också (: tack så jättemycket!
Thank you so much for this - so very lovely. (I am learning Norwegian, not Swedish, but I hear a lot of words I think I know...I feel like I understand about as much as a little tiny babe would, listening to it, falling to sleep). Anyway - thanks so much for posting. Just beautiful (you have such a lovely voice).
I've put tbis on ny folk music playlist and started the playlist while typing a paper. I started falling asleep to this song and only realized when tbe next one started
a fin FRIEND recommend me this and damn girl you have sweetest voice, tho i didnt understood the meaning of this but enjoyed every bit of it *love from Pakistan*
yikes this was so different from the version I know! and so much longer. also my family calls it yussan lull. thats a lullaby for you always changing. but an absolutely beautiful singing voice you have.

Your language is so wonderful, knowing German and English better and roughly every second word is somehow known. But only in written form, from your words I can't understand a word.
Wow, you are an AMAZING singer! Thank you for sharing your gift :) Do you sing professionally? Also, does anyone here know the English translation for this song?
I seen your link to the Swedish lyrics and tried to translate them with an on-line service, but those services can be sketchy at times. I see it was written by Evert Taube, I like him :)
Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle, three wanderers are coming down the road. The first one is limping, the second one is blind, the third one doesn't say anything. Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle, three winds are blowing at sea. One the great ocean, on the little Skagerrak, and far up on the gulf of Bothnia. Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle, three sailing ships are sailing here. The first one is a barque, the second one is a brig, the third one has ragged sails. Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle, the treasure chest has three figures. The first one is our faith the second one is hope, the third one is the red love. Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle, there are three good things. The first one is God our Father, the second is his Son, the third one is the mild Virgin Mary. Well this is the whole song, this is shortened.
PIZZA PIE Nah There's also a verse you didn't include but she sings in the video (second verse) : Byssan lull - boil the kettle full In the sky there wanders three stars The first one, O so white The second one so red The third is the yellow moon (sung: "the moon yellow")
This is a very beautiful cover! Could you share the string plucking order that you are using? I can see the chords are Am, Dm, G, Am, and E but was curious about the strumming! Thank you for uploading your video. You have a great voice and I love this song.
***** Thank you for taking the time to write that down!! I just sort of play it and wouldn't know how to translate it into written. I'm not much of a guitar player either!
Did you know that if you run the lyrics to this through Google Translate, the first line (the repeated one) is about boiling kittens? I did a little search and found a translation posted somewhere, and thank goodness they are boiling the kettle, not the kittens!
KPellinore omg I had no idea haha. It’s definitely not about boiling kittens... “kitten” in Swedish is “kattunge” so I’m not sure why it’s done that! I’m glad you like it anyway and good luck with learning Norwegian!
Hi Sofia, I am interested in using this song as pre-show music for a play production I am working on and wanted to get your permission. We will obviously credit your work in our program if you grant us permission to play this song. Thanks!
+Alyssa Little Go for it!! Just to let you know, I didn't write this song so I'm not sure who holds the rights to it.. It's a really old Swedish lullaby. Good luck with the play!
Snälla, minns du vart du lärde dej denna visa!? Har ett starkt minne utav denna visa, men jag kan inte hitta låten. Jag tror att visan spelades in via Björnes Magasin. Men jag är inte alls säker:(
Thank you all for your lovely comments, i have read every single one of them ❤️ I’m so happy that you like the cover! Many of you are asking if I’ll be recording another cover soon, I’m pretty out of practice but would like to give it a try! Watch this space..
I keep getting discouraged from learning Swedish, but when I listen to this song, it puts the excitement back into learning. I love it 💕
Och här är jag som lyssnar på den här videon 9 år senare...så himla fint❤
I love this lullaby, my husband is Norwegian, I thought it was a Norwegian lullaby, but then I learned it was Swedish. So beautiful...you sang it perfect 💓 what a beautiful voice
Even though I didn't understand a single word, your voice is so soothing and delicate that let me to make a personal interpretation of lyric.
your voice is absolutely haunting. truly beautiful!
Thank you!

Can I please get the lyrics in the swedish language please, this song is sung so beautifully and I'd love to sing it to my children when I'm older
yikes this was so different from the version I know!
and so much longer.
also my family calls it yussan lull.
thats a lullaby for you always changing.
but an absolutely beautiful singing voice you have.
Okay so I adore this song so much! I have this passion for lullabies, can you recommend any other Swedish lullabies?
It's lovely isn't it :) You should check out Vargsången!
😁😁😁😁😍😍😍
"Nesten" like vakkert som når mamma sang den for meg som nattasang da jeg var et barn :)
Beautiful performance! Your voice could soothe even the most tormented of souls! Did you write the lullaby or was it one you've heard before?
Its over 100 years from a classic swedish musician
u beautiful and should do more! bless u

Your language is so wonderful, knowing German and English better and roughly every second word is somehow known. But only in written form, from your words I can't understand a word.
What’s the meaning of the lyrics ?
Cattleya ye it speaks of the full kettle and the three things wandering, the stars, treasures and wanderers.
huh, my grandma called this song Vyssan Lull, I'm guessing it's a dialectical difference?
Byssan lull is the correct name. "Byssan" as in "kabyssen", the kitchen-table on old boats. The seafarers used to call it so.
*3 years ago*
Wow, you are an AMAZING singer! Thank you for sharing your gift :) Do you sing professionally?
Also, does anyone here know the English translation for this song?
I seen your link to the Swedish lyrics and tried to translate them with an on-line service, but those services can be sketchy at times. I see it was written by Evert Taube, I like him :)

three wanderers are coming down the road.
The first one is limping,
the second one is blind,
the third one doesn't say anything.
Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle,
three winds are blowing at sea.
One the great ocean,
on the little Skagerrak,
and far up on the gulf of Bothnia.
Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle,
three sailing ships are sailing here.
The first one is a barque,
the second one is a brig,
the third one has ragged sails.
Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle,

There's also a verse you didn't include but she sings in the video (second verse) :
Byssan lull - boil the kettle full
In the sky there wanders three stars
The first one, O so white
The second one so red
The third is the yellow moon (sung: "the moon yellow")
Please make more nordic lullabies
Id really appreciate if you'd make or send us the tabs to this amazing version of the song! Thank a bunch :)
This is a very beautiful cover! Could you share the string plucking order that you are using? I can see the chords are Am, Dm, G, Am, and E but was curious about the strumming! Thank you for uploading your video. You have a great voice and I love this song.

Har ett starkt minne utav denna visa, men jag kan inte hitta låten.
Jag tror att visan spelades in via Björnes Magasin. Men jag är inte alls säker:(
Tror min mamma sjöng den för mig och mina syskon när vi var små. Det är en jättegammal vaggvisa vad jag vet? Vissa kallar den "vyssan lull"!
thank you very angelic precious namaste aho from mission bc
Svårt å somna, för mysigt.
I'm trying to find you elsewhere online. I am a film composer in Los Angeles. Are you available to do any recording for a TV show by chance?
I am dedicating this lullaby to baby Ivar Talasbuan on TH-cam
