Hiras / Demure

from Eamiritni / Rimeborn by Elin Kåven

supported by
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Elin feirer sine 10 år som artist med et veldig personlig album, der hun for første gang virkelig tar i bruk sin kulturarv - nemlig joiken. Man joiker det som betyr mest for en, så Elin har joiket blant annet bestemoren sin, niesen, og katta si.

    Albumet ble gitt ut i Tyskland i november 2015, og ble nominert i kategorien The Traditional Ethnic Music under German Record Critics’ Award. Albumet kom ut i Norge i februar 2016, og fikk straks terningkast 6 hos Romerike Blad.

    "Eamiritni er et strålende eksempel på fornyelse og revitalisering av eldgammel musikktradisjon uten at grunntonene går tapt. Et strålende album!"

"It´s called “Hiras- Demure” and talks about being so shy you don´t have any confidence in anyone – not even yourself." - Elin Kåven

HIRAS

Don fertet gávdnat mu
Ozašit go mu?
Mun in boađe ieš

Jus hálidat háleštit
gažadivččet go mu?
Mun in jeara ieš

Mun lean nu hiras ja hearki

Ja fertet boahtit lagabui
boađe lagabui

Mun in jáhke masage
In oaivvil in maidege
Jus don it muital maid

Mun lean nu hiras ja hearki

Mun in luohte in geasage
In oaju in geasage
In alccen ge

In mun nagot in maidege
In nákce in maidege
Jus it mieđuš mu

DEMURE

You have to find me
Would you look for me?
I won´t come by myself

If you want to talk
Would you ask me?
I don´t respond by myself

I am so demure and fragile

You have to come closer
come closer
to hear me

I don´t believe in anything
I don´t have an opinion
If you don´t tell me what

I am so demure and fragile

I don´t trust anyone
I don´t have faith in anyone
not even myself

I´m not able to do anything
I can´t do anything
If you don´t accompany me
