Hand i hand mot nord – Johanne (Northern Norwegian original)

Описание: My first song Hand i hand mot nord, written and recorded in my apartment.

If you made it to my channel I have no idea how, but thank you for being here!! Uploading stuff isn't something that feels quite familiar yet, but, everything has a beginning. And this song is about the beginning of a very special chapter – finding your person and saying yes to building a life together forever. The song is written and sung in Northern Norwegian, but I've included an English translation at the bottom for those who would need that :P

Anyways, let's go^^

Lyrics (Norwegian):

(Verse 1)
Om du kunne låne mæ en tidsmaskin
Skulle æ tatt fram den dagen æ ble din
Da vintern beit men vi forsto
At vi va to som ikkje ser tilbake no

(Chorus)
Og æ ska aldri glemme der vi sto
Hand i hand mot nord
Verden va stor da vi skreiv vår bok
Første kapittel der en ble til to

(Verse 2)
Vi gikk i folkehav men ingen visste at
Dagen va ei stjerne på mitt hjertekart
For du va min og æ va din
Og aldri hadde noen vinter vært så fin

(Chorus)
Og æ ska aldri glemme der vi sto
Hand i hand mot nord
Verden va stor da vi skreiv vår bok
Første kapittel der en ble til to

(Bridge)
Og det minne mæ om at æ har enda flere ord
For du ska vite at
Om vinden vil føre dæ ut på et dypere vann
Da e æ her om du treng å få kjenne ei mindre hand
Tenk at æ får være din når tida går

(Verse 3)
For du og æ e hjemme selv på flyttefot
Med tusen koppa kaffe og litt hverdagsmot
For da vintern beit i lyseblått
Va vi to som visste at det her e livet vårt

(Chorus)
Og æ ska aldri glemme der vi sto
Hand i hand mot nord
Verden va stor og vi skreiv vår bok
Verden va stor og vi skreiv vår bok
Verden va stor og vi skreiv vår bok
Første kapittel der en ble til to

English Translation:

(Verse 1)
If you could lend me a time machine
I’d go back to the day I became yours
When winter bit, but we both understood
That the two of us would never look back

(Chorus)
And I will never forget where we stood
Hand in hand, facing north
Vast was the world when we wrote our book
The very first chapter, when one became two

(Verse 2)
We walked through an ocean of people, but nobody knew
That this day was a star on the map of my heart
For you were mine, and I was yours
And never had a winter been so beautiful

(Chorus)
And I will never forget where we stood
Hand in hand, facing north
Vast was the world when we wrote our book
The very first chapter, when one became two

(Bridge)
Which reminds me, I have a few more words
You have to know:
If the wind takes you out into deeper waters
I’m here, if you need a smaller hand to hold
For I can’t believe I get to be yours
As time passes by

(Verse 3)
For you and I are home, even on the move
With a thousand coffee cups and a little courage
For when winter stung in shades of light blue
We both knew: this life is ours

(Chorus)
And I will never forget where we stood
Hand in hand, facing north
Vast was the world and we wrote our book
Vast was the world and we wrote our book
Vast was the world and we wrote our book
The very first chapter, when one became two
