Name: Hellige tre konger
Duration: P00H02M36S
Description: I wrote a musical earlier this year with a couple of psalms, and decided to write a Xmas psalm, that was somewhat secular. The song is about the three wise men not finding the baby they are looking for in modern times and how we are all looking for something we can’t find. *embarrassed*

I wrote a musical earlier this year with a couple of psalms, and decided to write a Xmas psalm, that was somewhat secular. The song is about the three wise men not finding the baby they are looking for in modern times and how we are all looking for something we can’t find. *embarrassed*

lyrics

Hellige tre konger kom fra langt i øst
Hadde med seg gaver til glede og til trøst
De fulgte en stjerne for å komme frem
Reiste fra det fjerne, reiste fra sitt hjem

Hellige tre konger var det mye fart i
Lojale og rojale, men i et annet monarki
Det er ingen krise, men de har ingen fiskegarn
De er bare tre vise menn på lett etter et nyfødt barn

Hellige tre konger har med seg mye flott
Men ingen iPod og iPad eller snop er sundt og godt
Hvem har vel lyst på røkelse og myrra?
Gull som ingen har pust på uten å være mentalt forstyrra?

Hellige tre konger har ingen verdisum
Kan ikke betale reisen og har ingen visum
Myrra ble tatt i tollen, røkelsen kasta ut
Kom ikke gjennom grensekontrollen og vandringen tar aldri slutt

Hellige tre konger er nå uten hjem
Kan ikke dra tilbake, men ei heller frem
Vi har alle balkonger og vi venter på vårt fall
Vi er alle hellige konger, vi vet aldri hvor vi skal
