We will not sleep away the summer night »is a Norwegian song with lyrics by Aslaug Låstad Lygre and melody by Geirr Tveitt. The text was Lygre's best known poem, "We shall not sleep". She wrote it when she was admitted to the Luster sanatorium for tuberculosis and was surrounded by dying people. Knowing that gives this text a deeper meaning. A beutiful song.

Norwegians can totally relate to these words. Perfectly captures the feeling of early summer.

En av de underbaraste sånger som finns. Jag rörs till tårar varje gång jag hör den. Och vilken fin tolkning av den unge Lars Klevstrand!
Lars Klevstrand har norges mest lyriske stemme. LPen "Vi Skal Ikkje Sova" fra 1975 er hans mesterverk. Den må komme i ny utgave som CD !
Enig Lars er konge!
Det er nok bedre lyd på LP uansett
Mjög fallegt lag og söngur. Takk.
