Gåte - Kjærleik (Live at Akershus Castle)

In March 2024, Gåte had a magical encounter with the Artemis choir in the venerable and historic surroundings of Akershus Castle.

"Kjærleik" is a special song for us in Gåte, and it seems to be constantly evolving. On this day, it took on a new hue once again.
Everyone in the room felt we connected with something beyond definition, but nonetheless real and palpable. We felt it, and we hope and believe that you through this video can feel it too.

"Kjærleik" means "love" in norwegian, and the message is "Kjærleik er å vilja vel", in english: "Love is to wish well"

The song is written by Knut Buen.
An enormous thank you to the amazing choir Artemis! ❤️
And to Flemming Nielsen Christian Gi􏰀en Brandt Akershus Slott Forsvaret.

Kjærleik lyrics :

Eg vil ikkje vera slave!
Kjærleiken er ingen klave
Du bitt ikring ei kvinnesjel
Kjærleik er å vilja vel!

Eg vil ikkje la meg eige.
Du kan ingen hjarto leige.
Eg er'kje noko som du stel.
Kjærleik er å vilja vel!

Elsk meg, elsk meg med det gode,
Det som ligg i manneblodet.
Det er'kje nett når hanen gjel.
Kjærleik er å vilja vel!

Har du nokon hjartekjære,
Elskar du med all di ære.
For elskhug er som bråe e'l
Kjærleik er å vilja vel!

Eg vil livet atterføde.
Liksom jorda bera grøde.
Så elsk meg ikkje beint ihel.
Kjærleik er å vilja vel!

When I saw Gåte live at Debaser Slussen, Stockholm in 2005...they changed my life. I was in a quite big depression back then, but they gave me hope. I'm forever thankful!
