Tekster til utenlandske julesanger

[Yule]

Det finnes mange vakre julesanger som ikke er norske. Tenkte kanskje vi kunne plassere noen av de tekstene her

Da begynner jeg med:

O Helga Natt

O helga natt
O helga stund för världen
Då Gudamännskan till jorden steg ned
För att försona världens brott og synder
För oss han dödens smärta led
Och hoppets stråle går igenom världen
och ljuset skimmrar över land och hav
Folk fall nu neder
och hälsa glatt din frihet
O Helga natt Du frälsning åt oss gav

Ty frälsarn krossat våra tunga bojor
Vår jord är fri
himlen öppen nuär
Uti en slav Du ser en älskad broder
Och se din uvän ska bli dig så kär
Från Himlen bragte Frälsaren oss friden
För oss han nedsteg i sin stilla grav
Folk fall nu neder
och hälsa glatt din frihet
O Helga natt
Du frälsning åt oss gav
O Helga natt Du frälsning åt oss gav.

White Christmas

The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
There’s never been such a day in Beverly Hills, L. A.
But it’s December, the twenty fourth.
And I am longing to be up north.

I’m dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten
And Children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas;
With ev’ry Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white.



Written by Irving Berlin

I'm driving home for Christmas

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas yeah
Well, I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh I got red lights all around
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh I got red lights all around
Driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home
Driving home for Christmas

Her er enda en flott

wham! - Last Christmas
Chorus:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Last christmas

Julen er her(vet ikke hvordan jeg får svenske bokstaver da så det blir litt rart)

Stjærnorna, faller i natten nu himlarna senkar seg nedøver jorden
och nær stjærnans bloss tender sitt ljus hos oss brinner en låga klar
i hela norden

Julen e her og lyser frid på jorden
gledjen e stor i et barns klara øgon vor den
julen e her, i våra mørka lender kom låt oss ta hvarandras hender nær julen e her

Og jag vill tenda en stjærna til den som har frusit och gått vill i verden
till dom som inte finns hos oss tender vi nu et bloss
brinner en låga klar kom hit her e den

Julen e her, og lyser frid på jorden.......o.s.v

Ge oss av den frid som går i stjærnonas forunderliga hem
led oss på den veg vi går så att vi hittar hem til den

Julen e her och lyser frid på jorden,gledjen e stor
i et barns klara øgon vor den
Julen e her i våran mørka lender kom låt oss ta hvarandras hender
Nær julen e her.


Riktig god jul til alle.

Det fins mange fine utenlandske julesanger, poster teksten til noen av de jeg liker best:


- When a Child Is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume settles all around
Youve got the feel youre on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

(spoken)
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyones neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

Its all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born


- When You Wish Upon a Star
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true


- Grown-Up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown-up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list

 

[Julefeen]

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane
(Fra filmen “Meet me in St.Louis”).


Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
From now on
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Trough the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

 

[Julefeen]

O, come all ye faithful
(John Francis Wade)

Oh come all ye faithful. Joyful and triumphant.
Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him.
Born the king of angels.

Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Christ the Lord.

Highest most holy, light of light eternal.
Born of a virgin, a mortal he comes.
Son of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Christ the Lord.

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exalition.
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above.
Glory to God, glory in the heighest.

Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Oh, come let us adore him.
Christ the Lord.

 

[Julefeen]

Er så mange nydelige julesanger på engelsk..er nok mine to favoritter som er over..! Her en ennda en:

Hark! The herald angels sing
(Charles Wesley, 1739)

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
To the new born King

In Excelsis Deo
Gloria…
In Excelsis Deo

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
To the new born King

In Excelsis Deo

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

 

[Julelykke]

Disse er på en LP-plate som jeg har hørt på hver jul siden jeg var liten. Den er med Agneta fra Abba og ei lita jente som heter Linda. Nå har jeg fått bestilt meg den på cd og jeg gleder meg masse til den kommer! Det er mange andre nydelige sanger på denne plata altså! Og når jeg hører den første sangen her, da er det jul!

När det lider mot jul

Det strålar en stjärna för underligt blid
I öster på himlen hon står
Hon lyst över världenes oro och strid
I nära två tusenda år
När dagen blir mörk och när snön faller vit
Då skrider hon närmre, då kommer hon hit
Och då vet man att snart är det jul

Ty julen är härlig för stora och små
Är glädje och ljuvaste frid
Är klappar och julgran och ringdans också
Är lycka oändligen blid
Är ljust, allas ögon då stråla som bäst
Och stjärnorna tindra som mest
Och där ljuset är, där är det jul

När juldagsmorgon glimmar

När juldagsmorgon glimmar
Jag vill till stallet gå
Där Gud i nattens timma
Ren vilar upp på strå
Där Gud i nattens timma
Ren vilar upp på strå

Hur god du var som ville
Till jorden komma ned
Nu ej i synd jag spiller
Min barndoms dagar mer
Nu ej i synd jag spiller
Min barndoms dagar mer

Hur Jesu vi behöva
Du käre barnavän
Jag vill ej mer bedröva
Med synder dig igen
Jag vill ej mer bedröva
Med synder dig igen

Nu står jul i snöig port

Nu står jul vid snöig port
Knackar på och myser
Kära barn släpp in mig fort
Här står jag och fryser
Se min korg är full och tung
Båd åt gammal och åt ung
Har jag gåvor rara
Får jag hos dig vara
Ja kom kära jul kära jul

Jag för med mig tända ljus
Och en gran från skogen
Frid och fröjd i varje hus
Vänskap så förtrogen
Fattig man skall ej bli glömd
När han hungrar tyst och gömd
Och var sorg som gråter
Skall bli tröstad åter
Ja kom kära jul kära jul

Men vad bäst jag giver dig
Vill till sist jag spara
Jesusbarnet är med mig
Och din gäst vill vara
Vill du hava världens ljus
I ditt hjärta i ditt hus
Får han helga fröjden
Med sin frid av höjden
Ja kom Herre Krist Herre Krist

 

[Amaranth]

Har dere hørt denne av Kim Larsen/Gasolin/Kim Larsen & Kjukken, da?

Endelig Jul Igen

Gaden er så smuk med sin julepynt
Minder mig om en drøm
Som jeg havde sidst jeg blev født
Nu er det endelig jul - jul igen

Jesusbarnet fra Bethlehem
Blev betragtet som psykopat
Det er idag, hans fødselsdag
Nu er det endelig jul - jul igen
Ja nu er det endelig jul - jul igen

Dagenes sange, denne fred
Og tid til kærlighed
Og julelys fra sidste år
Så blev det endelig jul - jul igen
Så blev det endelig jul - jul igen

Der er et barn der beder til Gud
I smuk enfoldighed
Imens jeg bærer træet ud
Så blev det endelig jul - jul igen
Ja så blev det jul endnu engang

Så' Det Jul

Så' det jul
lykkehjul
vær vor gæst
det' hjerternes fest.
Vær velkommen
store og små
Jesus kommer med næste tog.

November kom med syndflod af regn
og mørke midt på dagen
men vi kender vejen.

For nu er det jul
lykkehjul
vær vor gæst
det' hjerternes fest.
Husk på vi var selv uskyldige små
svøbt i stjernestøv fra top til tå.
yeahhh .....

Når lysene de tændes i tusinde hjem
og stjernen dukker frem over Betlehem.

Så' det jul
lykkehjul
vær vor gæst
det' hjerternes fest.
Vær velkommen
store og små
Jesus kommer med næste tog.

arhhh .....

Sig Nærmer Sig Tiden

Sig nærmer tiden, da jeg må væk
jeg hører vinterens stemme,
thi også jeg er kun her på træk
og haver anden steds hjemme.

Jeg vidste længe, jeg skal herfra
det ikke det der mig tynger,
og derfor lige glad nu og da
af hele hjertet synger.

Jeg skule sjunget lidt me'r måske
måske vel også lidt bedre,
men mørke dage jeg måtte se
stormen rev og sled i mine fjeder.

Jeg havde gerne i Guds natur
med glæde spredt mine vinger,
men jeg sad fast i mit snævre bur
med stækkede vinger
med stækkede vinger.

Sig nærmer tiden, da jeg må væk
jeg hører vinterens stemme,
thi også jeg er kun her på træk
og haver anden steds hjemme,
ja også jeg er kun her på træk
og haver anden steds hjemme.

THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Come, they told me
parum, pum pum pum
A newborn King to see
parum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
parum pum pum pum
to lay before the King
parum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
So to honour Him
parum pum pum pum
when we come

Little Baby
parum, pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
parum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
parum pum pum pum
that's fit to give the King
parum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
parum pum pum pum
on my drum?

Mary nodded
parum, pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
parum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
parum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him
parum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
parum pum pum pum
me and my drum

The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.​

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you


Written by Mel Tormè and Bob Wells​
