Translation of the song lyrics I byen Samarkand - Odd Nordstoga

I byen Samarkand (original)

I byen Samarkand
Er kvelden alltid stille
Der høyrest låg musikk
Og vindane er milde
I byen Samarkand
Er aldri mørkt og kaldt
Der høyrer hjartet heime
Der kan du gløyme alt
Der kan du gløyme alt
I byen Samarkand
Sit kvinnene og stundar
I strålande palass
Og i olivenlundar
Mot byen Samarkand
Eg styrer mine steg
Der høyrer hjartet heime
Der er det plass for meg
Der er det plass for meg
I byen Samarkand
I byen Samarkand
I byen Samarkand
Er saknet lett å bere
Der fins det gull og silke
Alt hjartet kan begjære
I byen Samarkand
Det har du høyrt fortalt
Der høyrer hjarta heime
Der kan du gløyme alt
Der kan du gløyme alt
Der kan du gløyme alt
I byen Samarkand
I byen Samarkand
I byen Samarkand
I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand (translation)

In the city of Samarkand
The evening is always quiet
There was the loudest music
And the winds are mild
In the city of Samarkand
Is never dark and cold
There the heart belongs
There you can forget everything
There you can forget everything
In the city of Samarkand
Sit the women and moan
In glorious palace
And in olive groves
Towards the city of Samarkand
I control my steps
There the heart belongs
There is room for me
There is room for me
In the city of Samarkand
In the city of Samarkand
In the city of Samarkand
Is missing easy to pray
There is gold and silk
All the heart can desire
In the city of Samarkand
You've heard that
That is where the heart belongs
There you can forget everything
There you can forget everything
There you can forget everything
In the city of Samarkand
In the city of Samarkand
In the city of Samarkand
In the city of Samarkand
