Gå inte förbi (in English: Don't Walk Past) is a duet-single from Swedish singer Peter Jöback and Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø released in Sweden. It is taken from Peter Jöback's 2003 Christmas album Jag kommer hem igen till jul[1] and was released on November 12. This song is based on a traditional Christian hymn from Ireland called Be Thou My Vision.[2] The hymn has been translated into Modern Irish many times. Gå inte förbi was translated into Swedish by Ulf Schagerman and Jöback sings the lyrics in Swedish while Sissel sings in Norwegian. Norwegian newspaper VG gave it 4 out of six.[3] It was a big hit in Norway and Sweden in the Christmas time of 2003 and a music video directed by Mikadelica was made in Denmark.[4]
