Discover the story of the song > Oleanna – Storm Weather Shanty Choir

The gist of the lyrics is that the protagonist, Oleanna, is expressing a desire to be in a place called Oleanna rather than in Norway. In Oleanna, the protagonist can get land for free and the crops grow quickly. There are streams for the poor to enjoy, salmon jumping in the rivers, and even polite pigs offering their ham. The protagonist sings about how much better Oleanna is and how they would rather be there than be stuck in their current situation in Norway.
