She is singing about Norway (mitt lille land - my little country), where the mountains rise into the sky, where there are fjords and wooden houses... Where silence lives and dreams come true. Basically singing beautifully about Norways nature and culture.
A lot of people also don't know the context with Utøya/Oslo ceremony, makes it even more heartquenching. Strangely about this national treasure of a song, Ole Paus wrote it as a means of making Norway join the EU! Glad that didn't happen as our nature + culture would be way more threathened... Together we must stand and fall.
Equalpower If you don't mind, could you explain me why the nature and culture of Norway could be threatened if Norway joins to Europe Union? I'm very interested in how norwegians see Europe. Thanks in advance.
I used half an hour back and forth to write you, then PC blackouts of course. I guess it don't matter too much. In short terms, privatization of our natural resources, unchecked immigration and spendings on "fake" wars will be the downfall of it all. I advice you to see John Perkins - Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Best advice I could give to anyone without losing ground contact. We hope to get to know Europe better in the spirit of brotherhood, while we all still control our own domain and future. Have a nice weekend :]
Equalpower Hello! I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you answered me. It's completely difficult to explain why joining in Europe Union or not is a good idea. For example, Spain (my country) has had to reject many industry because Europe had other plans for us, but It's also true that Europe has supported to others companies here. So, I don't know what it's better because every country did a election, and we can't know what it would have happened if we would have chosen other possibility. About the privatization of natural resources, I have to say you have reason. For example about the water privatization. In my view, this wave of privatizations comes from a global ideology, specially from USA. But It's also incredible how the immigration is changing the mind of Sweden people, for example, (and others countries like Spain). And It's incredible how they are privatizing their schools and their public healthcare insurance (I remember Capio) because they don't want that immigrants use it for free. Anyway, despite of that, I admire Norway because of the nature, music, traditions, etc. and I want my country will be just a bit like Norway, if we want to look like other country I think Norway is the best choice. The way they manage the petroleum is just a perfect reason to follow them.

What a beautiful and emotionally performace ! Takk Susanne , du skaper noe helt spesielt i meg når jeg hører denne sangen ! Masse kjærlighet til deg !
Reminds me of the words to the national anthem of my Mother's homeland, Czech Republic. "Where my home is, where my homeland is, Water roars across the meadows, Pinewoods rustle among crags, The garden is glorious with spring blossom, Paradise on earth it is to see. And this is that beautiful land, The Czech land, my home, The Czech land, my home!"
My Little Land (orig. title: Mitt lille land) My little land A small place, a handful of peace thrown out among tundra and fjords My little land Where tall mountains stand placed in between houses and humans and words And where quietness and dreams grow like an echo in barren soil My little land where the ocean strokes mildly and softly like caresses from coast to coast My little land Where stars pass by and become a landscape on daybreak While the night stands pale and silent My little land A small place, a handful of peace Thrown out among tundra and fjords My little land Where tall mountains stand placed in between houses and humans and words And where quietness and dreams grow like an echo in barren soilwhere quietness and dreams grow like an echo in barren soil
John Doe Hope it helps a little bit My little country A little place, a handful of peace Spread out between plateaus and fjordsMy little country Where high mountains stand planted Between houses and people and words And where silence and dreams grow Like an echo in meagre earthMy little country Where the sea strokes gentle and soft Like a caressing from coast to coastMy little country Where stars glide past And become a landscape when it gets light While the night stands pale and silentMy little country A little place, a handful of peace Spread out between plateaus and fjordsMy little country Where high mountains stand planted Between houses and people and words And where silence and dreams grow Like an echo in meagre earth Taken from lyricstranslate.com/en/mitt-lille-land-my-little-country.html#ixzz3dGD37oZi
See the lyrics in the first comment of this thread, all non natives. A beautiful song about tender and breathtaking Norway. Sung here in the memorial concert for the massacre victims of 2011. Makes it sooo emotional and crushing, but uplifting too... 77 candles in clusters..
It reminds me a bit of "mijn vlakke land" van Jacques Brel. Nice to hear artists sing in their own language, even if I cannot understand. I feel it :-*
Vila i Frid alla som dog, och styrke kramar till alla er som överlevde eller (och) har anhöriga. Massa kärlek från en Halvnorsk som fortfarande har en stor sorg i sin själ.
Nydelig versjon, mye finere enn Maria Menas versjon. To those wanting to understand the lyrics, here they are, translated (rather poorly) into English, but at least it'll give you an idea of what they mean. ;)
Klarer du å komme med en slik kommentar på denne videoen og etter denne fremføringen er det ikke håp for deg, dessverre. Å si at Susanne sundfør ikke kan synge er som å si at det snør på solen.
6oM6bI4 so pretty much any language you don't understand is unpleasant. You're absolutely, totally, positively, 100% clueless. And you're also judging this language by a song - which makes you an idiot.
Love this singer! The best voice ,nowadays❤

You are right, I could not agree more. :)

My Little Land (orig. title: Mitt lille land)
My little land
A small place, a handful of peace
thrown out among tundra and fjords
My little land
Where tall mountains stand placed
in between houses and humans and words
And where quietness and dreams grow
like an echo in barren soil
My little land
where the ocean strokes mildly and softly
like caresses from coast to coast
My little land
Where stars pass by
and become a landscape on daybreak
While the night stands pale and silent
My little land
A small place, a handful of peace
Thrown out among tundra and fjords
My little land
Where tall mountains stand placed
in between houses and humans and words
And where quietness and dreams grow
like an echo in barren soilwhere quietness and dreams grow
like an echo in barren soil
I have no idea what she's singing about, but I love her voice and songs, and could listen to hear sing about anything and would love it
John Doe Hope it helps a little bit
My little country
A little place, a handful of peace
Spread out between plateaus and fjordsMy little country
Where high mountains stand planted
Between houses and people and words
And where silence and dreams grow
Like an echo in meagre earthMy little country
Where the sea strokes gentle and soft
Like a caressing from coast to coastMy little country
Where stars glide past
And become a landscape when it gets light
While the night stands pale and silentMy little country
A little place, a handful of peace
Spread out between plateaus and fjordsMy little country
Where high mountains stand planted
Between houses and people and words
And where silence and dreams grow
Like an echo in meagre earth

Oh my word. This woman is magical.
Dette er så vakkert at jeg gråter, nesten 9 måneder etter den grusomme dagen. Begynner virkelig å like Susanne Sundførs fremførelse av denne sangen!
Susanne är fantastisk. Fattar inte att det snart gått fyra år...
+LauraAmorina føles som om det var igår, får fortsatt gåsehud :c
It reminds me a bit of "mijn vlakke land" van Jacques Brel. Nice to hear artists sing in their own language, even if I cannot understand. I feel it :-*
I have no idea what she's saying, but she sounds wonderful!
What a good song, every though I never been to Norway, let what I heard about the country, it sounds so beautiful.
Do it if you can... I can not emphasise enough...
Jeg liker denne bare bedre og bedre jo mer jeg hører på den. Susanne er fantastisk, og for en nydelig tekst.
What a Beauty song🌟!Lovely ,my love! ...feel like to stay over the sky......watching the Beautiful places!......
She makes me want to go living in the deep north. Down the sun, up the long, cold, snowy winters!
Beautiful! Thanks for uploading this stunning song! Gr. Maurice.
Russia love Susanne!
+monocir1 and Poland loves Susanne!
Utrolig vakkert! Ja, vi elsker dette landet!
I miss my country so much
What a special person she is
best version ever
didn't understand one word she said, and it didn't matter at all.
her voice spoke to me greater than any language could ever have.
Just found this, Luvilotzandlotz beautiful clear voice, very nice vibrato.
Susanne Sundfør er en av de få personene som gjør meg stolt over å være norsk.
Sikke en dejlig sang og hun synger virkelig godt - og ikke mindst en god tekst. Bedste hilsener fra Danmark.
Vi glemmer aldri.
@@erikrayray5795 å ellers går d bra? Wtf
I dont speak Norwegian but its soooo beautiful
I love her voice..
Jeg elsker stemmen hennes...
Beautiful voice. Amazing song. :)
Je suis francaise et j adore cette artiste💗💗💗💗💗💗
Vila i Frid alla som dog, och styrke kramar till alla er som överlevde eller (och) har anhöriga. Massa kärlek från en Halvnorsk som fortfarande har en stor sorg i sin själ.
så vakker! mer songs fra henne på norsk vær så god :)
vær så god = you're welcome
vær så snill = please
:)
Scully takk!
Helt utrolig vakkert!
så henne på Tjøme i går....nydelig konsert.
for en stemme. wow
Fantastisk vakkert og rørende fremført.
Don't understand one word..but this is fucking beautiful
She is the best ❤️
Utrolig vakkert!
ilove her and her voice..
Her voice is intoxicating
Hey norway is a good country
hon kunde verkligen sjunga!
I do not understand her and it is still good
Beautiful!!!
I've am learning Norwegian (Bokmål) on duolingo, bud I didn't understand a word (except title of course). :)
She's from a little town called Haugesund... She's singing in her own dialect.
Jeg savner norge.
: Wonderful.
😢❤
Krevende vakkert!
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Nydelig versjon, mye finere enn Maria Menas versjon.
To those wanting to understand the lyrics, here they are, translated (rather poorly) into English, but at least it'll give you an idea of what they mean. ;)
StillLoveYa
Utrolig fint!!!!
rEMIND mE of the land of silver honey
Beautiful ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Wow
it is in germany??
+Jowy Noire Bonapartiste No, why?
It's in norway
🖤✊🏼
terveisiä naapurista
trodde det var 13 års aldersgrense for å ha brukerkonto på youtube : []
Utrolig trist :(
Jeg elsker det landet Susanne Sundfør elsker å hate! Men jeg tar ikke det norske ut av ligningen for å skape en generisk verdensidentitet.
No skill
behring breivik is hidden composer
dette må være den dårlige versjonen
Snakk om å ødelegge en sang... Kan ikke synge i det hele tatt.
Tenkt på å bytte etternavn? Tone Døv?
Tonedøv?
Viser vel bare at du ikke har peiling.
Klarer du å komme med en slik kommentar på denne videoen og etter denne fremføringen er det ikke håp for deg, dessverre. Å si at Susanne sundfør ikke kan synge er som å si at det snør på solen.
Sykeste jeg har lest. Dette er jo magisk.
this language is unpleasant. Which nation got so bad luck?
Norwegian, please don't say such here as this song is dedicated to terrorist attacks of 22.July
6oM6bI4 so pretty much any language you don't understand is unpleasant. You're absolutely, totally, positively, 100% clueless. And you're also judging this language by a song - which makes you an idiot.
Cállate ignorante,o crees que el Inglés es bello????
You suck dude
Don't know a word in norsk -- still tearing me up...
