That poses something of a problem for me in that
"Vaaren" is written in Norwegian, or in one of its
dialects, whereas the others are actually written in
Danish. I take it you feel, then, that it is more
appropriate to sing the songs written in Danish in
Norwegian?
(I speak Danish and Swedish, but not Norwegian,
although I've made a pass at it in Vaaren -- perhaps I
shld limit my repertory for the songs written in
Danish).
best,
