folk, norwegian, bhaswati, eg veit i himmerik ei borg, song, cover

It's one of those songs I like to sing in the evening when it's just getting dark.
To those who speak Norwegian, I neither speak nor understand the language, so please forgive the bad pronunciation and help me improve it.
I know the song deserves more vigor, but my landlady's home and I'm too shy to belt out. I also like singing this song in this much lower pitch, but I'll try the higher pitched one later sometime, when nobody's home.

It hasn't occurred to me we haven't ...Naked as we came (Iron and Wine) cover

It's a Norwegian folk song. I just really like how it sounds, and I heard it in Sissel's voice (which happens to be one of my most favorite voices). Later I read the English translation/variation in wiki. I dont really care for the meaning in songs like this, where the sound is enough to hook me right in.

Sissel Kyrkjebo is a soprano, originally from Norway. I love her voice.

. . thats a good video and she does truly have a wonderful vocal range,not surprising i guess, thanks for bringing it/her to my attention. . . i know from many years ago a duo from norway called .'dolli deluxe' yes an odd name but i really like them because how they mix opera and pop/rock together. . .
