E du nord (original)E du nord (translation)
Det e ikkje alltid det gårIt does not always bend to your design,
Sånn som du hadde tenktNot as you dreamed, with your harbor-lit mind.
Det e ikkje alltid du nårYou do not always reach the wharf in time,
Den ferga du kunne ha trengtThe ferry you craved dissolves into brine.
Du ser når han lyse der uteYou watch its lantern—the hearth of the dark—
På vei til et anna stedSailing away to another shore’s mark.
Og du som var fire minutter i fraAnd you, mere four minutes from hallowed release,
En ny begynnelseThe threshold still waiting to grant you new peace.
E du Nord i landet vårtAre you north in our country’s far sweep,
Har du meir enn ei ferje og misteDo you have more than one ferry to weep?
Du e ikkje den første som ho går i fraYou are not the first she’s left on the sand,
Og du bli ikkje heller den sisteNor shall you be last in that wind-scoured land.
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, then?
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, then?
Ser ikkje sol i desemberNo sun slakes December’s crystalline air;
Natta spis av dagen dinNight devours your day, a wolf in its lair,
Og blir visst aldri mettEver famished, it feasts and never is filled,
Himmelen har ikkje nordlysNo aurora flames, the heavens are stilled,
Stjernen har brent for seg sjølThe star burns out, a candle for no one—
Selv -- alle butikkanEven the shops stand deserted, undone—
Og du ser ingen stjerne å følgAnd you spy not a star to bear you along;
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, strong?
Ska du bare la mørke råWill you yield to the rule of the darkening tide?
For ein kveld en kveld tek oss teppe framFor an evening, an evening, the rug will confide—
Og det kommer et lys av guds nådeAnd a grace-light, like mercy, will ripple and rise,
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country’s sighs?
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country’s sighs?
Det ekkje alltid du når — landet før vindhalsenNot always you reach—the land before wind’s throat,
Det ekkje alltid det går — sånn som du hadde tenktNot always it bends to the vision you wrote,
Men der er du ikkje alleinYet you are not solitary—
Der er det mange som rorThere, many row on, wary,
Og krysser hverandre i mørketCrossing each other as shadow plaits with strand,
Over en åpen fjordOver a fjord flung open by invisible hand.
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, then?
E du gjennom den svarteste tidå?Are you through the most coal-black time?
Snart på den andre sidaSoon, on the far gleaming side...
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, then?
E du nord i landet da?Are you north in the country, then?
Whoo whooWhoo whoo
OhooOhoo
AhhhaAhhha
