Iselilja
Iselilja is the second album released by the Norwegian band Gåte.
The meaning of the word "Iselilja" is uncertain. When asked in an interview, Gunnhild Sundli (vocalist for Gåte) and Sveinung Sundli (fiddle, keyboards) said that they themselves do not know its exact meaning. A translation that has been suggested is "Ice-lily" (because "Is" translates as "Ice", and "lilja" translates as "lily"), however it is also possible that "Iselilja" is a name (probably female), and has no meaning. The word is featured on the third track of the album, Knut liten og Sylvelin.

Oh, Sail Away
by: Kingston TrioJohn Phillips
Chorus:
Just a-singin', (Once again now,) (Just a-singin',) (A-singin',) Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.
A man would be a fool to spend all his money and have to go to sea once more.
But when those brown skin gals start callin' you honey, you'll be a sailin' from that shore.
Chorus
When we hit Trinidad, was there I met Marni. Don't you know we started drinkin' rum.
But now I feel so bad. She took all my money and now I sail with the mornin' sun.
So all ye sailor lads who want to go sportin', mark ye well what I do say.
Don't trust them brown skin gals. They'll be your misfortune. You'll be at sea till your dyin' day.
