Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: GUEST,Steve Date: 01 Dec 15 - 07:24 AM I know this is a very old thread, but I happened to be translating this myself today, and thought I would share. Not sure how good it is, but it was my attempt at least. Yule, Yule, Glorious Yule. Shine over snow-filled forests. Glimmering lanterns of heavenly white, Glistening archways in mighty Gods light. Songs we have sungeth from age to age. Peace be on earth from malice and rage. Yule, Yule. Glorious Yule. Shine over snow-filled forests. Come. Come, holiest Yule. Lay down your blessed wings over the blood of soldiers in war, over the tortured, the weak and the poor, over our elders who go now to rest, over the young we hold tight to our chest. Come, Come, holiest Yule. Lay down your blessed wings. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: Genie Date: 08 Dec 12 - 04:46 PM Google Translation of Verse 1: Christmas, Christmas, glorious Christmas, glory over white forests, Christmas, Chistmas, Brilliant chrismas, Shine over white Forests Heaven crowns with sparkling light, the Crown of the heavens with brilliant lights Gleaming arcs in all God's house, Glowing archers in all god's houses Hymn, which is sung from time to time, Anthem, That is sung from time to time (from age to age) Eternal longing for light and peace! Eternal longing for light and peace Christmas, Christmas, glorious Christmas, splendor over white woods! Google translation of Verse 2: Come, come, designed Christmas! Lower your white wings Over the blood and alarm of battles, Over all sighing (groaning) from the human breast, Over the generations that go to their rest, Over the young [dagande], stay!• Come, come, heraldling Christmas! Lower your white wings. •I'll go with thomas's translation, above, for now. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: Genie Date: 08 Dec 12 - 04:30 PM LOL Well, the online "translators" have been known to be a bit lacking where idioms are concerned. We have whole threads about "Mangled translations" because of that. It could be there are typos in the Swedish text above, but it could also be a case of idioms not translating well and/or a case of the "translators" not having full access to the various meanings of some particular words in Swedish or English. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: GUEST Date: 08 Dec 12 - 04:21 PM Can someone please clarify this for me? Regarding the line, "Över all suckan ur människobarm," I used an online translator, and it gave me this: "over all sucking at the human breast" This is a little crude and disturbing, haha! Also, it is completely different from what someone posted above, about sighs from the human heart. So, should the line be translated as something like, "over all suckling babies"??? Which is correct? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: GUEST,jeanbean14 Date: 08 Dec 12 - 04:15 PM Tweaking the English translation "från tid till tid" in this song has to mean "from age to age" "from age to age" = "from one generation to the next" or "throughout the ages" or "throughout history" and implies the older passing on a tradition to the younger ones "from time to time" = "once in a while" or "occasionally" or "sometimes" That doesn't fit in this case. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jul, Jul / Wonderful Peace From: GUEST,Domi Date: 20 Dec 11 - 12:18 PM Hi! For you who asked what "tid till tid" means: I am swedish myself, so I can tell you :) "tid" means "time" - and so, "tid till tid" means "time to time" , but here it can as well mean "age to age" I hope it helped you :) |

Subject: Lyr Add: JUL, JUL / WONDERFUL PEACE From: Genie Date: 05 Dec 01 - 12:12 AM Here is a pretty Christmas song I did not see mentioned in any of the Christmas song threads or in the DT. The English lyric is not a translation of the Swedish, but both are beautiful songs. Cany anyone translate the Swedish for me? I know it talks about "God's house" and "white wings" and singing songs from "tide to tide" and, I think, about snow and something about Heaven, and about Christmas, of course, but that's about as far as I got! Genie Jul, Jul Jul, Jul, strålande jul, glans över vita skogar, Kom, kom, signade jul! Sänk dina vita vingar Wonderful Peace English Text: Norman Luboff Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Peace, peace, bearer of peace, |
