Tarja - En Etsi Valtaa, Loistoa Lyrics

Awsome. Sibelius was a genius and the Finnish national poet with his (translated) lyrics...just touching and SO FINNISH.

tää on aivan ihana joululaulu Tarjalta!!!

I found this English translation, from the original Swedish poem by Zacharias Topelius, I hope someone will find it helpful:

Give me no splendour, gold or pomp
At blessed Christmastide.
Give me God's glory, a host of angels,
And peace on all the earth!
Give me a feast that will best please
The King I have invited as guest!
Give me no splendour, gold or pomp,
Give me a host of angels.

Give me a home in my native land,
A tree surrounded by children,
An evening in the light with the word of the Lord
And darkness all around!
Give me a place to live in peace,
With joyful trust, hope and faith.
Give me a home in my native land
And the light of God's word!

To high, to low, to rich, to poor,
Come, blessed Christmas peace,
Come with childlike happiness and warm heart
ln the world's wintertime!
You alone. who never change,
Come, my Lord and King!
To high, to low, to rich, to poor,
Come with happiness and warm heart.

+Ian Pittock I've never read the Swedish version, but this English is significantly different from the Finnish words Tarja Turunen sings in the video.

Kaunis kuva x3

Kertakaikkiaan kaunista!

Perfect!! Love it!

En etsi valtaa loistoa ! Todellista joulun sanomaa lähimmäisistä välittämisineen ja rakkauden sanomaa muille jakaen !

I think finnish is a one of the most beautiful language on this world.

I need some years to understand this but it conveys a universal peace
greetings Holland ( most plataresc country I know)

kaunis kappale

koskettava

Pidän suomenkielestä!

@siivekaspunapaa huono kommentti sanoisin.

Here is the translation: (1/3) I seek no seek power or brilliance, I yearn not gold, but I ask for heavens light and peace over the land/earth. It brings Christmas, it brings happiness and raise the minds to the Creator (meaning God Jesus Christ) No power or gold either, but peace over the land

(2/3)(Please)give me a peaceful house and the children's Christmas tree! (Please)give the light of your Word, if my soul would get brighter! Bring home, if even a small one (home), the sweetest Christmas celebration. The light of God’s Word and a noble mind (generous)

(3/3)To the poor or the rich one you will bring a wonderful Christmas! Into this dark world, bring your heavens light. I am longing for You, I am waiting to see You. You are the Lord of the earth and the heaven. (it don’t matter) The poor or the rich one you still will create a sweet Christmas (Christ Jesus).

kiitos !! :D

@Casutama I found a translation online but it was more difficult than I expected. YouTube won't let me link the URL in this post so if you'd still like it, send me a message and I'll send you the link there. If anyone else would like it, you can send me a message as well. The translation is to English.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand Finish... Could anyone be so nice and translate for me, what she is saying? That would be great, thanks already!

uhhmmm... I'm sorry, but I don't understand Finish... Could anyone be so nice and translate for me, what she is saying? That would be great, thanks already!
