The above wording appears on a poster advertising a local Cohen-related concert arrangement. A gentleman by the name of Odd Goksøyr has translated 20 of Leonard's songs into nynorsk - a form of Norwegian language with less Danish influence. The concert is called 'I filler av lys' - in English this would be 'In rags of light' (from 'If it be your will').
