about

Fjellmannjenta (Sorbye/Trad.) [pronounced fyehl-mann-yenta]
“There’s always been a strong relationship between Celtic and Norwegian music, so pieces like this blend well with our style and repertoire. I also always like to include a piece of native Norwegian music from my own background on every record. So, I wrote a new melody for a traditional lyric and gave it the Tempest treatment. Fjellmannjenta is a mountain girl with a great appetite for dancing, food and drink — something a lot of Tempest fans can relate to.”

lyrics

Fjellmannjenta oppunder li
Fjellmannjenta oppunder li
Danser og drekker og aker på ski
Fjellmannjenta oppunder li

Fjellmannjenta oppunder ås
Fjellmannjenta oppunder ås
Danser og drekker og smeller i lås
Fjellmannjenta oppunder ås

Snillaste jenta ho var fin
Snillaste jenta ho var fin
Ho åt opp ein geitost, ho stjal han te
Tore du tore du seia det

Snillaste jenta bortafor bakken
Snillaste jenta bortafor bakken
Beila til guten med sekken på nakken
Snillaste jenta bortafor bakken

Snillaste jenta bortafor elva
Snillaste jenta bortafor elva
Beila til guten på laurdagskvelden
Tore du tore du seia det
