Translation of the song lyrics Fly Barn, Fly - Bjørn Eidsvåg

Fly Barn, Fly (original)

Å så fint de lekte sammen
De stakk seg bort og gjor'
Ulovlige ting
De trosset forbud, de trosset
Skammen
De fløy arm i arm med hver sin
Ving
Gjemt bort i kroken, kott og
Under bord
Fant de opp språket som ikke
Trenger ord
De fløy over gjenlåste porter
De sprang som lettbente hjorter
Fly barn, fly
Til Soria Moria slott
Fly like til Paradis
Fly og ha det godt
En dag tar leken slutt
Med rynker i pannen går de hver til sitt
En liten pike, en liten gutt
Blir tatt av skammen for de lekte litt
De møtte noe de ikke forsto
De var uten ord, de levde, de lo
De våknet som voksne i samme båt
Fant ordene igjen og gråt
Fly barn, fly …
Syng barn, syng
Syng i dur, syng i moll
Syng like til Paradis
Syng bort alle troll
De søkte en tilhørighet de aldri
Kunne få
De søkte en helhet bare drømmer kunne nå
Fly barn, fly …

Fly Barn, Fly (translation)

Oh how nice they played together
They ran away and do '
Illegal things
They defied prohibition, they defied
Shame
They flew arm in arm with each other
Ving
Hidden away in the hook, kott and
Under table
They invented the language that did not
Need words
They flew over locked gates
They ran like light-hearted deer
Fly children, fly
To Soria Moria Castle
Fly right to Paradise
Fly and have a good time
One day the game ends
With wrinkles on their foreheads, they go their separate ways
A little girl, a little boy
Being taken aback by the shame they played a bit
They encountered something they did not understand
They were without words, they lived, they laughed
They woke up as adults in the same boat
Found the words again and cried
Fly children, fly…
Sing children, sing
Sing in major, sing in minor
Sing right to Paradise
Sing away all the trolls
They never sought an affiliation
Could get
They sought a whole only dreams could reach
Fly children, fly…
