| Ville berre sei eit ord
|
| Would point to a track
|
| Would turn the music down and let go
|
| Wanted to find a case
|
| Lying and dusting down the back
|
| Which is true if it is forgotten and dirty
|
| Would say you like my brother
|
| This country is your mother
|
| Would say it of joy and of trong
|
| To commemorate the nice and homely harbor
|
| Which gives air and wide wings for my song
|
| Would love to go again
|
| Sing the mountain's great song
|
| About the glaciers and the plains and the snow
|
| But I look down
|
| And then I stop there
|
| Which grows out of defiance and will on the bow
|
| Would say you like my brother
|
| This country is your mother
|
| Would say what I meant what I said
|
| As I took off my hat for flowers and leaves
|
| And thank you from inside me a city
|
| And there is always little we can do
|
| For Norway, there is a small dot in the north
|
| But the pope is a small dot in Rome
|
| So in that sense, the king is just as big
|
| It's not true that there is little here, we are many
|
| It's not true that here is small, no here is big
|
| And it is true that we love this country
|
| And the one you meet along the way is your brother
|
| Ville berre sei eit ord
|
| Would point to a track
|
| A prayer from the great blue earth
|
| From forest and from sea
|
| From everything we cough off
|
| That we must soon find the way out of words
|
| Because it's calling to us, brother
|
| This country is our mother!
|
| Because it cries out for our honor and our band
|
| To be the nice and homely port
|
| Which lights us up and is our country |
