Lyrics

Above the Arctic Circle
Where it’s cold and dark all day
(Remember, in December there
– the sun has gone away)

Still, way up North there’s plenty of warmth
And holiday cheer for all
So, gather up your family and friends
It’s Christmas in Egerdal!

Below the 3 peaked mountain
And just above the bay
You’ll find the town of Egerdal
Preparing for Christmas day

They press and cook the lefsa
They roll up fiskeboll
They simmer and stir the rømmegrøt
It’s Christmas in Egerdal!

They strum and shout their carols
The bonfire burning bright
First, they celebrate all day
Then celebrate all night

They decorate their Christmas trees
They decorate their halls
They butter up the lutefisk
It’s Christmas in Egerdal!

The gløgg is spiced and ready
All scoop it from the bowl

When everyone has their cup
that’s when everybody shouts “SKÅL!”

SKÅL!!!

Their joyful shout has woken up
A troop of the mountain’s trolls
They come marching down
They shake the ground
A frightening sight for the soul!

They’re giant and hairy, their faces are scary
The people tremble with fear…
**But when the trolls begin to sing
they can’t believe what they hear!

(Sing in your best troll voice)
Silent night, Holy night, All is calm, All is bright

Below the 3 peaked mountain
And just above the bay
You’ll find the town of Egerdal
Preparing for Christmas day
The northern lights dance above
The stars twinkling, all
||: You’ve never seen such beauty
It’s Christmas in Egerdal! :||x3
