Et Lys Imot Mørketida - Hanne Krogh

Det kvile ei natt over landet i nord

Der husan e små og dær kor menneskan bor

Men tida e travel i karrige kår

Rokken svive og vævstoln går

Det lever i løa i naustet og smia

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørketida

Snøen ligg tung over frossen jord

Ute står mørket om fjell og om fjord

Vår herre gir livberging søtmat og sul

Når døgnan sig fræm imot advent og jul

Så støype vi lys midt i haraste ria

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørketida

Dagen e borte og natta e stor

Men i mørketidslandet skal høres et ord

Om sol som skal snu så det bære mot dag

Om folk som skal samles til helg og til lag

På veien til betlehem bær ho Maria

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørketida

It looms over the country in the north one night

There are small houses and there are people who live there

But times travel in barren conditions

Rokken floats and the loom goes

It lives in the den in the boathouse and forge

A light, a light, a light against the darkness

The snow lay heavy on frozen ground

Outside, darkness surrounds the mountains and the fjord

Our Lord gives life saving sweet food and sul

As the day approaches Advent and Christmas

Then we throw candles in the middle of the rush

A light, a light, a light against the darkness

The day is gone and the night is great

But in the dark age land a word must be heard

About the sun that is about to turn so that it bears towards day

About people who have to gather for the weekend and for parties

On the way to bethlehem carry ho Maria

A light, a light, a light against the darkness
