rickygrove Love this album because it's so well produced and because Rakel's voice is so perfectly suited to Christmas tunes esp when she sings in Icelandic. A sweet, airy voice with a wide vocal range. This is the kind of Christmas music I can listen to over and over again.

Jólasnjór 04:14
Jólasnjórinn svífur niður yfir stræti og torg, svífur ofan úr skýjunum niður. Nú er allt sem leyst úr læðing, enginn leiði né sorg. Nú er lífsgleðin ríkjandi í borg. Jólasnjór, jólasnjór, Jólasnjór, jólasnjór, Skínandi umvefur allt. Sindrandi, sindrandi, Tindrandi, tindrandi, Glitrandi himnanna skart. Ljósin ljóma, bjöllur hljóma, óma hlátrar og sköll, allir brosa og heilsast með gleði. Ys og læti, líf og kæti, hljómar veröldin öll, jólagleði í hreysi og höll. Jólasnjór, jólasnjór, Jólasnjór, jólasnjór, Skínandi umvefur allt. Sindrandi, sindrandi, Tindrandi, tindrandi, Glitrandi himnanna skart.

Ljósadýrð loftin gyllir lítið hús yndi fyllir og hugurinn heimleiðis leitar því æ man ég þá er hátíð var í bæ. Ungan dreng ljósin laða litla snót geislum baðar Ég man það svo lengi sem lifað ég fæ lífið þá er hátíð var í bæ. Hann fékk bók, en hún fékk nál og tvinna, hönd í hönd þau leiddust kát og rjóð. Sælli börn sjaldgæft er að finna ég syng um þau mitt allra besta ljóð. Söngur dvín svefnin hvetur, systkin tvö geta' ei betur er sofna hjá mömmu ég man þetta æ man það þá er hátíð var í bæ.

O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, born the king of Angels; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. O sing, choirs of Angels, sing in exultation, Sing all ye citizens of Heaven above. Glory to God in the Highest; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; O come, let us adore Thee, O come, let us adore Thee, O come, let us adore Thee, Christ the Lord.

Hvít Jól 02:32
Ég man þau jólin, mild og góð er mjallhvít jörð í ljóma stóð. Stöfum stjörnum bláum, frá himni háum í fjarska kirkjuklukknahljóm. Ég man þau jól, hinn milda frið á mínum jólakortum bið að æfinlega eignist þið heiða daga, helgan jólafrið.

O Tannenbaum 02:09
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Wie treu sind deine Blätter! Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit, Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit. O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Wie treu sind deine Blätter! O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Du kannst mir sehr gefallen! Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut! O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Du kannst mir sehr gefallen! O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Dein Kleid will mich was lehren: Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit Gibt Trost und Kraft zu jeder Zeit! O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Dein Kleid will mich was lehren!

Jólin, jólin alls staðar með jólagleði og gjafirnar. Börnin stóreyg standa hjá og stara jólaljósin á. Jólaklukkan boðskap ber, um bjarta framtíð handa þér og hátt á himni hækkar sól, við höldum heilög jól.

Let it Snow! 02:30
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go; Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! It doesn't show signs of stopping, and I brought some corn for popping, the lights are turned way down low; Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, how I hate going out in the storm, but if you really hold me tight all the way home I'll be warm. Oh the fire is slowly dying, and my dear we're still goodbye-ing, As long as you love me so; Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Heims um ból, helg eru jól, signuð mær son Guðs ól, frelsun mannanna, frelsisins lind, frumglæði ljóssins, en gjörvöll mannkind meinvill í myrkrunum lá. Heimi í hátíð er ný, himneskt ljós lýsir ský, liggur í jötunni lávarður heims, lifandi brunnur hins andlega seims, konungur lífs vors og ljóss. Heyra má himnum í frá englasöng: Allelújá. Friður á jörðu því faðirinn er fús þeim að líkna, sem tilreiðir sér samastað syninum hjá.

O Holy Night 03:59
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night divine, O night, O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend! Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night divine, O night, O night divine!

Tileinkað elsku Afa Ragga mínum; megi ferð þín frá þessu lífi til eilífðarinnar vera þitt mesta or besta ævintýri.
