| På en liten grønn flekk skulle de bygge og bo
| On a small green spot they were going to build and live
|
| De to, ganske tett
| The two, pretty close
|
| Bak et lavt hvitt gjerde skulle de slå seg til ro
| Behind a low white fence they were to settle down
|
| De to, det burde vært lett
| The two, it should have been easy
|
| Men det var fukt og råte i veggene
| But there was dampness and rot in the walls
|
| Og ekle snegler i beddene
| And nasty snails in the beds
|
| De hadde plantet både nellik og roser
| They had planted both carnations and roses
|
| Men det vokste bare ugress og mose der de sto
| But only weeds and moss grew where they stood
|
| De to (for alltid)
| The Two (Forever)
|
| Her blir de (her blir vi)
| Here they stay (here we stay)
|
| For alltid (for alltid)
| forever (forever)
|
| Jeg er evig din, å, din (her blir vi for alltid)
| I'm yours forever, oh yours (here we stay forever)
|
| For alltid (her blir vi)
| Forever (Here We Stay)
|
| Her blir
| Here it will be
|
| Under nylagt takstein skulle de spire og gro
| Under newly laid roof tiles, they should sprout and grow
|
| De to, alt for tett
| The two, way too close
|
| Mellom nymalte vegger skulle de ønske og tro
| Between freshly painted walls, they should wish and believe
|
| De to, det burde vært rett
| The two, that should have been right
|
| Men gulvet var frossent og taket var lekk
| But the floor was frozen and the roof was leaking
|
| Og snart var drømmen og håpet vekk
| And soon the dream and hope were gone
|
| Da ingenting ble som de trodde
| When nothing turned out as they thought
|
| Med livet sammen på stedet de bodde
| With life together in the place they lived
|
| «Skal jeg bli eller gå?», var det eneste de tenkte på
| "Should I stay or go?" was the only thing on their minds
|
| Men de holdt fasaden mens tiden rant
| But they kept up the facade as time went on
|
| Og dag etter dag forsvant de to
| And day after day the two disappeared
|
| De to (for alltid)
| The Two (Forever)
|
| Her blir de (her blir vi)
| Here they stay (here we stay)
|
| For alltid (for alltid)
| forever (forever)
|
| Jeg er evig din, å, din (her blir vi for alltid)
| I'm yours forever, oh yours (here we stay forever)
|
| For alltid (her blir vi)
| Forever (Here We Stay)
|
| Her blir vi (for alltid)
| Here we stay (forever)
|
| Her blir de (her blir vi for alltid)
| Here they stay (here we stay forever)
|
| Her blir vi (her blir vi)
| Here we stay (here we stay)
|
| For alltid (for alltid)
| forever (forever)
|
| Jeg er evig din, å, din (her blir vi for alltid)
| I'm yours forever, oh yours (here we stay forever)
|
| For alltid (her blir vi)
| Forever (Here We Stay)
|
| Her blir (Her blir vi)
| Here we stay (Here we stay)
|
| De to, de to, de to. | The two, the two, the two. |
