Frid På Jord
Lyrics by Sofia Karlsson
I stjärnfull natt de ljöd så klart
Frid på jord, frid på jord
Det klingade väl underbart
Frid på jord, frid på jord
Försonaren kom med hopp och frid
Men i min själ var natt och strid
Ej fann jag under min levnadstid
Frid på jord, frid på jord
Må den trötte finna en hamn
Ro hos Gud, ro hos Gud
Så ljuvlig som en moders famn
Lov ske Gud, lov ske Gud
Du julens klara ljus och frid
Mig lys igenom mörkrets tid
Och för mig hem till min himmels ro
Frid på jord, frid på jord
Peace on Earth
Translation by Tommie Andersson
On a starry night it sounded so clear
Peace on earth, peace on earth
It resounded so wonderfully
Peace on earth, peace on earth
The Redeemer brought hope and peace
But in my soul was night and struggle
During the course of my life I did not find
Peace on earth, peace on earth
May the weary find a port
Rest with God, rest with God
As sweet as a mother’s arms
Praise be to God, praise be to God
Your bright Christmas light and serenity
Shine for me through times of darkness
And take me home to my heavenly rest
Peace on earth, peace on earth

Vi ska ställa till en roliger dans
Vi ska ställa till en roliger dans,
och vi ska binda både krona och krans
till dansen.
Vi ska ställa till en roliger dans,
och vi ska binda både krona och krans
till dansen.
Hej hopp - en roliger dans!
Hej hopp - båd' krona och krans
till dansen.
Hej hopp - en roliger dans!
Hej hopp - båd' krona och krans
till dansen.
Vacker är du, när du dansar och ler,
och vacker, när du på din käresta ser,
du lilla!
Vacker är du, när du dansar och ler,
och vacker, när du på din käresta ser,
du lilla!
Hej hopp - du dansar och ler!
Hej hopp - på kärestan ser,
du lilla!
Hej hopp - du dansar och ler!
Hej hopp - på kärestan ser,
du lilla!
We are going to put on a fun dance
Translation by Tommie Andersson
We are going to put on a fun dance,
and we will tie both crown and wreath for the dance.
We are going to put on a fun dance,
and we will tie both crown and wreath for the dance.
Heigh-ho - a fun dance!
Heigh-ho - both crown and wreath for the dance.
Heigh-ho - a fun dance!
Heigh-ho - both crown and wreath for the dance.
You are beautiful, when you dance and smile,
and beautiful when you look at your sweetheart,
Oh little one!
You are beautiful, when you dance and smile,
and beautiful when you look at your sweetheart,
Oh little one!
Heigh-ho - you dance and smile!
Heigh-ho - look at your sweetheart,
Oh little one!
Heigh-ho - you dance and smile!
Heigh-ho - look at your sweetheart,
Oh little one!

När som jag var på mitt adertonde år
När som jag var på mitt adertonde år,
det var en vacker gosse som föll uti min håg.
Den tänkte jag för evigt att få äga.
Men denna min tanke rätt snarelig försvann,
det var en annan flicka som lades i hans famn.
Den liknar han vid rosende blomma.
Nog än jag hållit fader och moder så kär,
samt syskon och vänner, som älskat mig här,
så går dock denna kärlek över alla.
Tack för att du varit min endaste tröst
och tack för alla stunder jag vilat vid ditt bröst.
I himmlen skall vi åter bli förenta.
When I was in my eighteenth year
Translation by Tommie Andersson
When I was in my eighteenth year,
I fell for this handsome boy.
I thought he would be forever mine.
But this thought of mine was soon to disappear,
there was another girl put in his arms.
He likens her to a rose in bloom.
Though I have treasured my father and mother dearly,
as well as siblings and friends who have loved me here,
this love for him surpasses them all.
Thank you for being my only consolation,
and thank you for all the times I rested at your chest.
In heaven we shall again be united.

Lyrics by Siebe Pogson
Together we were strong, fighting the world, we took it on.
Nothing could stop us, no one could halt our minds and our hearts being joined as one.
With joy comes doubt, with doubt comes fear we’ll lose what we have to jealousy, pain and the unexplained.
The world’s a beast, not gentle or kind. Change can come any time; can’t things be fine?
Burst! From the void it came, reality has no shame.
Will I see you again? See you again this life?
Alone I venture now, no one to hold my hand or stroke my soul.
It seems so final. Can it be final? Can I be at peace again?
I must be soft, not hard. It’s not his fault, he did everything he could have done.
It is his fault, he could have foreseen, forget the times he was close by your side.
Lies! I just want you here! I have been such a fool.
Will I see you again? See you again this life?

Lyrics by Josh Haden
If we meet again I´ll tell you how I feel.
I´ll tell you from the start, I´ll tell you love is real.
How everything we say, and everything we do
Has been preordained to bring true love to you.
Nothing else is pure, nothing else is right
You will know for sure, once you´ve seen the light.
If we meet again, I´ll tell you how I feel
I´ll tell you love is real.

I was lucky enough to see the filmed version of this album via the Melbourne Digital Concert Hall. It was a beautiful and uplifting concert and the CD captures this spirit. I particularly love Sarabande by Paul Cutlan and the Suite in A major by Marais. The closing piece, where Jenny and Tommie are joined by Susie Bishop's voice and violin, is beautiful beyond words.

These romantic pieces by bassist and composer Robert Lee were inspired by Korean folktales.
