Dalvisa by Elfrida Andrée — Lyrics
Vindarna sucka uti skogarna
Forsarna brusa uti älvarna
Vågorna gunga sakta
Vågorna gunga sakta
Gunga sakta fram mot Siljans strand
Fullmånen glimmar mellan skyarna
Ljusen de tindra uti byarna
Fjällarnas kam omgjutes

About Dalvisa
Elfrida Andrée's Dalvisa is a Swedish folk song arrangement for SATB choir. The text paints a vivid picture of the Swedish landscape, evoking the sounds of wind in the forests and rushing rivers, and the sight of waves gently moving towards the shore of Lake Siljan. It also describes the moon shining through the clouds, village lights twinkling, and the mountains bathed in the glow of the aurora borealis. The final verse shifts to a more intimate scene of a solitary shepherdess watching her sheep on the wide plains of Mora, singing to herself under the starry night sky. The music likely reflects the natural beauty and serene atmosphere described in the lyrics.
