O Euchari in leta via
O Euchari in leta via
Solens värme dröp i dig
som doften av balsam
Solens värme dröp i mig
som doften av balsam
Allt som rör sig andas lugnt,
driver över marken
Solens värem dröp i dig
som doften av balsam
O Euchari in leta via
Dina händer söker mig
som brinner av längtan
Mina händer söker dig
som brinner av längtan
Allt som rör sig andas lugnt,
driver över marken
Dina händer söker mig
som brinner av längtan

Carry in me the beer? 
seems like RP hasn't played this in a while. This song is so cool.
wow - had to stop everything… I love Sweden and the Swedish people are wonderful
Overtones of Xmal Deutschland from 1980s, most excellent

O Euchari the look through
O Euchari the look through
The sun's warmth trickled into you as the smell of balsam
The sun's warmth trickled into me as the smell of balsam
Everything that moves breathe calmly ,
runs above ground
The solar Varem dripping in you as the smell of balsam
O Euchari the look through Your hands are looking for me burning with desire My hands are looking for you burning with desire
Everything that moves breathe calmly ,
runs above ground
Your hands are looking for me burning with desire
Euchari the look through

Wow, I never expected to hear Garmarna here. Thanks for the pleasant surprise!
The voice reminds me of S'Brent by Oi Va Voi
The definitive "eeeeeee" song.

THANK YOU!!
think something might of got lost in translation from Hildegard von Bingen's version:
1a. O St. Eucharius,
you walked upon the blessed way
when with the Son of God you stayed—
you touched the man
and saw with your own eyes
his miracles.
1b. You loved him perfectly
while your companions trembled,
frightened by their mere humanity,
unable as they were to gaze
entirely upon the good.
2a. But you embraced him in the ardent love
of fullest charity—
you gathered to yourself the bundles of
his sweet commands.
2b. O St. Eucharius,
so deeply blessed you were
when God’s Word drenched you in the fire of the dove
illumined like the dawn
you laid and built upon the Church’s one foundation.
3a. And in your breast
burst forth the light of day—
the gleam in which three tents
upon a marble pillar stand
within the City of our God.
3b. For through your mouth the Church can savor
the wine both old and new—
the cup of sanctity.
4a. Yet in your teaching, too,
the Church embraced her rationality—
her voice cried out above the peaks
to call the hills and woods to be laid low,
to suck upon her breasts.
4b. Now in your crystal voice
pray to the Son of God for this community,
lest it should fail in serving God,
but rather as a living sacrifice
might burn before the altar of our God.
THANK YOU!!

Viking Music...Love It!
Anyone interested in Hildegard von Bingen might want to find the album entitled Vision, which is a modern , international reconfiguration of her compositions. It is marvelous.

Dense ear candy, thanks again RP! Sweden rocks 
Very nice Voice, very nice music !!!
Wow!! Incredible!!
Wild Swedish song appears
I love this band. Got to see them in Berkeley many years ago. First set was from this album and second set was their crazier stuff from Vengeance.
This song is so unique and cool. This is RP at it's eclectic best!
Really great video, too
Saw them live. I'll bet that puts me on a short list. Great group though.
INCREDIBLE. A VOICE OF A GODDESS.
A cultural experience quite an enjoyable song..

No, I never let my mind wander looking through hymnals while at mass as a child. Not in the least.
Nor did I ever allow said wanderings to be wholly, whimsically inane, either.
Hildegard von Bingen is the FIRST named composer, as far as I know. Anything older is our friend, Anonymous.

It feels really good to sing this—I don't know what I'm singing exactly, but I like the way the words feel. So beautiful!
Absolutely brilliant 
Very nice Bill, inspiring little number.
Catholicism never sounded so good. Techno-soundtrack to the dark ages, who'd have thought it?
Wow! Thank you RP this was total surprise ;)
Wonder Radio.....better than the best little radio station out there
How not to fall in love right away with a girl with an accent like that... And I like those chords and the atmosphere, thanks RP. Immediate 10.
That was cool already, but being by Hildegaard von Bingen added a whole new level of awesomeness.
Good tune on this snowy night.
music like this one is why I ♥ Radio Paradise!
I would never known of it and would be robbed of good stuff :)

"Vision" is quite amazing, and Hildegard of Bingen was probably pretty interesting. The album will give you chills, and then you may want to spin around your kitchen. Reverently, of course.

Cool tune, very nice voice. I didn't realize that the Swedes already had radios in the 12th Century, but that makes it less surprising that Bang & Olufsen were producing high-fidelity turntables in Denmark by the 14th Century.
I've always been of the opinion that we need more 12th C Swedish music on the radio . Not nearly enough. Perhaps a dedicated station? Like it.

This just kick-started my day in a musty old library. Nice.
Mesmerizing & meditative. A bit of exotica thrown in. Lovely voice.
Love me some Garmarna, especially their more traditional stuff.

The vocals are ill-advised. I downmarked it from 5 to 3.

Repetitive but interesting. I like hearing world beat as long as it doesn't beat me up too badly, but early Sunday, could be a bit much. I'd love a great classical piece at that time.
The other comments were actually more entertaining than the song.

Slip needs some more reading.
Just like others have pointed out Hildegard is refering to the healing Balm, which is perfectly applicable in the historical context of the lyrics.
The expression "Balm for the soul" is the same in Swedish "Balsam för själen"
(or as "Balsam för öronen" if Romeotuma had been a swedish guy..)
Hint: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balsam

I have never heard 'balsam' being used in the context you are implying in everyday language. The only possible except I could agree to is in some very old and antiquated literature. So I guess you theoretically could be correct when directly translating from english, but 'balsam' in swedish is de-facto seldom, if ever, used as anything else than referring to hair balm.
And as you pointed out, this is further confirmed by the reference to the scent of this mentioned 'balm'.
Ergo, utterly hideous lyrics.
(shrug) The more poetic translation posted by dggeek earlier looks pretty good to me, very sweet and evocative. Translation is a dark art as what works well in one language sounds stupid/dull in another. For example, the last time I visited Venice, many years ago, the vaporetto (water bus) stops had the sign, by a yellow stop line: "Non oltrepassare durante l'attesa", and below had an extremely literal English translation "No overtaking during the wait", which is ludicrous and meaningless yet accurate. A good translator would have written "Don't cross the line whilst waiting (for the bus)".
The role of a translator, and her/his real skill, is to translate the meaning of the original words into the target language. I bow to your knowledge of Swedish, of which I know zip, but whilst 'balsam' might literally mean 'soap balm' in everyday Swedish it plainly does not mean that in the context of the song, and to translate it as such is to be over-literal.
Sorry, I've done a little translation and interpretation in my time, so felt I had to butt in with a comment.

Are you are saying there is another word in Swedish for this? Considering the Latin religious chant that threads through this song like vertebrae, this is almost certainly what the songwriter was getting at.

That opening line, "O Euchari In leta via" is part of a chant written by the nun Hildegard von Bingen over 800 years ago. I've got a cd of her chants remixed with modern and world music. It's superb - I had a second grade class that was completely obsessed with her and would say every class, "Put on Hildegard!"

That opening line, "O Euchari In leta via" is part of a chant written by the nun Hildegard von Bingen over 800 years ago. I've got a cd of her chants remixed with modern and world music. It's superb - I had a second grade class that was completely obsessed with her and would say every class, "Put on Hildegard!"

I'm not sure of what you mean by "original", but the language spoken in this version played here on RP is nothing more than plain everyday swedish. If you are searching for a bit more poetical and older swedish I recommend looking after Lars Winnerbäck, foremost his old stuff but actually all the way up to his Daugava -album. Also Lisa Ekdahl make use of seldomly used and somewhat vanished swedish in here newer albums. If you like those two, Tomas Andersson Wij could be a way to go in the swedish jungle, foremost his older stuff.
Thanks dggeek for the great translation. It makes me appreciate this piece even more. Does anyone (a_genuine_find?) know what language the original is? Old High German? Middle German? It looks like a cross between Latin and some Teutonic language.

I have never heard 'balsam' being used in the context you are implying in everyday language. The only possible except I could agree to is in some very old and antiquated literature. So I guess you theoretically could be correct when directly translating from english, but 'balsam' in swedish is de-facto seldom, if ever, used as anything else than referring to hair balm.
And as you pointed out, this is further confirmed by the reference to the scent of this mentioned 'balm'.
Ergo, utterly hideous lyrics.
Woah, easy there. Hair balm? If we are translating, lets do it correctly... Balsam means just balm, and it could in this context mean for example "balm for the soul" as an abstract idea of somethng soothing, and not neccesarily hair balm (hårbalsam). Agreed? Alltho, the scent of balm implies my version is not correct, but that was just an example to show that it doesnt have to specify hair balm.

Found this translation. It sounds much more poetic:
O Euchari In leta via
The sun`s warmth trickled into you
Like the fragrance of balm.
The sun`s warmth trickled into me
Like the fragrance of balm.
All moving things breathe steadily
Sweeping across the ground
The sun`s warmth trickled into you
Like the fragrance of balm.
O Euchari In leta via
Your hands reach out for me
In the heat of our longing.
My hands reach out for you

All moving things breathe heavily
Sweeping across the ground.
Your hands reach out for me
In the heat of our longing.

If you're interested in this kind of music, you can't flee the name Hildegard von Bingen and her famous music.
That's why someone knows about her...
Btw: Besides the music, she was a very influential scientist and mystic person.
She worked and lived as a abbess in Bingen.

You are absolutely correct!!!! It even sounds like the same woman singing. Great HVB cd is VISION
