Holberg Cantata Lyrics – Edvard Grieg
Singer: Edvard Grieg
Title: Holberg Cantata
Fædrenejord, hvor Jubelskaren bølger!
Du, som de svundne Slægter kjærlig dølger
Fædrenejord!
Mindernes kor
Gjennem Luften følger
Festtogets spor
Paa Bergensfjorden blank og blaa
Syngende Salmer paa blodigt Dæk
Jagede Sverre Magnus væk;
Og medens her Kong Haakon sad
Hvor Kjærlighed raa’r og Geniet saar
Rinder af Jorden en dobbelt Vaar
Men vi fik Kulde og Tynge igjen
Sløvede Sind og valne Mænd;
Kongshallen stod vel i Sne og Blæst
Kongelig Tankke var sjelden Gjæst
Vinterens Himmel har dog en Krans
Flammende Navne med Nordlysglans
Høit skal de hædres og høiest hans!
Hvor Bakkeheldet
Med Bølgerne mødes
Her under Fjeldet
Holberg fødes
Tidlig hans Frænder
Fra ham døde;
Huset brænder
Og lægges øde;
Hver Landets Borger laaner ham Hus
Tidlig han fandt det
Trangt under Heien
Længted mod Havet
Mod Verdensveien;
Havet, der gaar til
Fremmede Lande
Tankernes Hav
Med de fjerne Strande
Ud han fløi, den letteste Skude
Og han blev længe, længe derude
Nu flages der fra Stavn til Stavn
Thi atter staar han i Bergens Havn
Og skjænker mildt sit Verdensnavn
Til Byen, der bar hans Vugge
Den Langfartseiler, den rige Mand
Der gav sit fattige, trange Land
En Horizont med Evighedsrand
Kan vel vore Øine dugge
Værn, Fader Holberg! Fædrejorden
Herinde mellem Bjergene!
Brug Spottens Lyn, lad Lattertorden
Henrulle over Dvergene!
Med Viddets hvasse Pil du naa
De Store, som er bittesmaa
Lær os at staa som du paa Grunden
Der gjemmer vore Fædres Ben
Med Blikket vendt mod Himmelrunden
Hvor Luften bølger høi og ren!
Lær os at seile modigt frem
Til Ære for vort elskte Hjem!
Lær os, som du, i tættest Taage
Med Smil at hige mod vort Maal!
Lær os ved Vinternat at vaage
Du Kjæmpevagt, med Ild og Staal!
Hold du den aaben, Bergens Vaag
For Verdenstankers Bølgetog!

Holberg Cantata – English Translation
Father’s soil where the jubilant waves waves!
You, like the bygone genera loving Dlels
Father’s soil!
The Choir of the Memories
Through the air follows
The track’s tracks
On the Bergensfjord blank and blue
Singing hymns on bloody deck
Hunted Sverre Magnus away;
And while here King Haakon was sitting
Where love raa’r and the genius saar
Rinds of the Earth a double spring
But we got cold and weigh again
Dulled mind and valne men;
Kongshallen stood well in snow and blown
Royal thoughts were rarely guest
However, the sky of winter has a wreath
Flaming names with Northern Lights Gloss
High should they be honored and highest Hans!
Where the tray
With the waves meet
Here under the mountain
Holberg is born
Early his kinsmen
From him died;
The house is burning
And is laid deserted;
Each Citizen of the Country Lays Him House
Early he found it
Cramped under the heien
Longed for the sea
Against the World Wagon;
The sea that is going to
Foreign countries
The Sea of Thoughts
With the distant beaches
Out he flows, the lightest shot
And he stayed long, long out there
Now flags there from stavn to stavn
For again he stands in the Port of Bergen
And bestowing his world name
To the city that carried his cradle
The long -speeds, the rich man
That gave its poor, cramped country
A horizont with eternity
May well our eyes dew
Guard, Father Holberg! Fatherland
In here between the mountains!
Use the mockery of lightning, let the laughter order
Roll over the dwarf!
With the wit of the wit arrow you reach
The big ones that are bittesmaa
Teach us to stand as you on the ground
That hid our fathers’ legs
With his gaze facing the sky round
Where the air waves high and clean!
Teach us to sail bravely
In honor of our loved home!
Learn us, as you, in the closest taage
With smiles to hike towards our goal!
Learn us by winter night to wake
You giant guard, with fire and steel!
Do you keep that open, Bergens Vaag
For World Tangles Wavy Train!
