Ni Mødre Av Sol
Ivar Bjørnson Lyrics

The song "Ni Mødre Av Sol" by Ivar Bjørnson speaks of the cyclical nature of life and the sun's rising and setting. The opening lines refer to being born in darkness, but then the victorious sun rises from crimson waves. The phrase "kvar ein dag i ringen" ("each day in the circle") suggests the endless cycle of life, where each day is just another repetition of the same. The repetition of "Kvar ein dag i ringen" emphasizes the cyclical nature and suggests that life moves in cycles, birth, death and rebirth.

The lyrics become more symbolic in the last few lines, referring to being born in the frigid sea and the power of the earth. The final line "Ni mødres son" ("nine mothers' son") is a reference to the Norse god Heimdall, who was born of nine mothers and was known as the guardian of the gods. The idea of being born of nine mothers represents a kind of divine or mythical birth, emphasizing the notion of rebirth and continuity.
