I used to listen to the show when I was in the US fifteen years ago, and got to know more about the Norwegian/Swedish settlers in the US more than I knew about Florida where I lived. Then I moved to Sweden and worked there and learned Swedish. I had goosebumps all over when I listened to the song and realised that I understood the text.

Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful!!! Sounds almost Gaelic.
Love it! my kinda song. I like Swedish songs like this one, more solemn than perky.
Is it just me or do the first two Swedish songs have a Medieval vibe?
Is that a "fluta-phone"? Keillor mentions them in "Lake Wobegon Days". The recorder-looking thingy.
That tune sounds like an Irish or French-Canadian (often the same tunes) tune slightly modified, or vice-versa.
What is that instrument at 6:20??? Wow!
sbeallvln A "nickelharp?"
anybody know anything about that swedish band?
Medieval - Gaelic - Celtic - let's just say Northern European.
