Yndlingsengel
Stein Torleif Bjella Lyrics

The lyrics of Stein Torleif Bjella's "Yndlingsengel" tell a story of loss and grief caused by the death of a son. In the first verse, the singer reveals that his son left last year and that a truck stole his "augestien," or apple of his eye. This event caused him immense sorrow. Despite this, he found comfort in the fact that God took his son home.

The second verse suggests that the singer has dedicated his life to God and spreads his word. He talks about how he used to speak warmly about how everything would turn out, as well as the heavenly law and all the souls that had been set free by Jesus. The third verse relates to the memory of his son coming back, even though all he has left is the memory of him. The singer questions whether his son was God's favorite angel or if his death was a demonstration of power. He also wonders why they had to be punished in this way, and whether his son was taken because he was too good for the world.

The overall tone of the song is reflective and introspective. It explores the complex emotions of grief, faith, and loss. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with understanding the reasons behind his son's death and seeks solace in religion. It is a poignant and emotional song that touches on the fragility of life and the strength of faith.
