Maria Mena - Mitt Lille Land. (Norwegian Lyrics & English Translation below)

Fra Oslo Domkirke. Juli 30, 2011.

(Norwegian Lyrics)

Mitt lille land

Et lite sted, en håndfull fred

slengt ut blant vidder og fjord

Mitt lille land

Der høye fjell står plantet

mellom hus og mennesker og ord

Og der stillhet og drømmer gror

Som et ekko i karrig jord

Mitt lille land

Der havet stryker mildt og mykt

som kjærtegn fra kyst til kyst

Mitt lille land

Der stjerner glir forbi

og blir et landskap når det blir lyst

mens natten står blek og tyst

(English Translation)

My little country

A little place, a handful of peace

thrown out among mountain plateau and fjords

My little country

Where high mountains are planted

among houses, people and words

Where silence and dreams grow

Like an echo in barren earth

My little country

Where the sea pats mild and soft

like it's caressing from coast to coast

My little country

Where stars glide by

and becomes landscapes when it gets lighter

while the night stands there -- bleak and silent

A mini concert was held in Oslo on July 30, 2011 to remember the victims of the horrific bombing and massacre that struck the nation.
