Lyrics of Brevet - Halvdan Sivertsen

Brevet (original)

Du ska ha takk frr at du tok d ti og tok d fri
Det va s fint ha d her
Du gir m minna kan leve p og leite I
D’e fint ha en snn s nare
Og livet leve utfrr ruta mi et sted
Og forstare at ska vre her e har det bra, har det fint, det e’ke det
Men kom og ta m med d, kom og ta m med
Du va en vilter unge, snar I latter, snar I grt
En liten skurk, en liten prins
ligg og smile, ligg og mimre og gjare puta vt Nu nare bare minnan fins
trur drmme nare vkne opp og ser
At livet gare forbi, telle ikke mer…
har et bilde aven liten gutt p pappas fang
har s my' takke frr
En liten engel, du sleit m ut s mang en gang
Kom nu hit tell m og hare
Her fare mat og stell, men ikke ro og fred
Frr livet leve utfrr ruta mi et sted
, kom og ta m med d, kom og ta m med
ville aldri latt d vre her e

(translation)

You should have thanked before you took the ten and took the day off
It was so nice to have you here
You give me memories that I can live on and look for
It would be nice to have a snn s nare
And life lives out my window somewhere
And understand that we should be here and it's good, it's fine, it's okay
But come and bring m with d, come and bring m with me
You were a wild youngster, soon you laughed, soon you cried
A little villain, a little prince
lie and smile, lie and reminisce and make the pillow vt Now only the memory is there
I think I dream and wake up and see
That life rushes by, counts no more…
has a picture of a little boy on his father's lap
have s my' to thank frr
A little angel, you wore m out so many times
Now come here tell m and hare
Here food and care, but not peace and quiet
Before life lives my route goes somewhere
, come and bring m with d, come and bring m
would never let you stay here e
