Moddi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Velsegna de evige ordan om håp og ei utstroken hand
Verg dettan likkje du gav oss den dagen du fløtta oss hit
Så vi veit at du aldri vil latt oss forkomme i armod og slit
Vi levde med huva i handa, men hadde så sterk ei tru
Og ett har vi visselig sainna, vi e hårdhausa vi som du
No har vi den hårdaste ria, vi slit med å kave oss fram
Guds fred over fjælle og åsen, latt det gro der vi bygge og bor
Guds fred over dyran på båsen og ei frosen og karrig jord
Du ser oss i mørketidslande, du segne me evige ord
Husan og fjælle og vatne og folke som leve her nord
Husan og fjælle og vatne og folke som leve her nord
