The lyrics to CANTUS & Frode Fjellheim's song "Kyrie" are in a combination of Sami language and a variation of the Greek prayer known as "Kyrie eleison." The song starts with the repeated phrase "Kyrie eleison, Kyjrie elejsån," which translates to "Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy." This is a plea for compassion and forgiveness, a humble request for divine mercy.
As the song progresses, it introduces different phrases like "Jubmel Aehtjie aarmodh" and "Kriste eleison, Kriste elejsån," which mean "Jesus, have mercy, Jesus, have mercy." These phrases emphasize the need for redemption and salvation through the mercy of Christ. The repetition of these verses creates a meditative and contemplative atmosphere, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in the seeking of mercy and grace.
