"Elsker, elsker det og tenker
på vår far og mor
og den saganatt som senker
drømmer på vår jord.
Og den saganatt som senker,
senker drømmer på vår jord."
Ett litet förtydligande: När man i Norge pratar om saga så handlar det inte - som i Sverige - om Hans & Greta & Rödluvan, det handlar snarare om sagalitteraturen som Snorres saga, Egils saga och liknande, dvs myter och berättelser från det förhistoriska norden.
Yesterday was the 17th of May, that´s Norway's national day. One stanza in the Norwegian national anthem is partly about dreams and it goes something like this:
"Love, love it and think
of our father and mother
and the saga night that sends
dreams to our earth.
And the saga night that sends,
sends dreams to our earth."
"Love, love it and think
of our father and mother
and the saga night that sends
dreams to our earth.
And the saga night that sends,
sends dreams to our earth."
A small clarification from wiktionary:
Noun
saga (plural sagas)
1. An Old Norse (Icelandic) prose narrative, especially one dealing with family or social histories and legends
2. Something with the qualities of such a saga; an epic, a long story.
