Hi Vocalisters!
I recently acquired an SSA arrangement of "Solvejg's Song" from
Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite" and I need a bit of help with the
pronounciation because I can't read Norwegian (Swedish, yes; Norwegian,
no). The lyrics are:

Kanske vill der y(a with a ring) b(u with a ring)de Vinter og V(a-ring)r,
og naester Sommer med og det hele (a-ring)r;
men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg vist,
og jeg skal nok vente for det lovte jeg sidst.

Gud styrke dig hvor du i Verden g(a-ring)r.
Gud glaede dig hvis du for hans Fodskammel st(a-ring),
og her skal jeg vente, til du kommer igjen,
og venter du histoppe, vi traeffes der min Ven.

What are the pronounciations (approximate) that I should use for this text?
