Lyrics of Grav - Tulus

Grav (original)

Morke skyer over flombelyst kirke,
regn faller blott i nyspadd jord.
Prest og slekt og venner er borte.
De er sagt og bedt, de siste ord.
I stillhet — ingen sorgetaler,
— ingen minnestund.
Bare jord og blomsterkranser,
— regntung kirkelund.
Regntungt tak over nyspadd grav,
vute spor mellom minnestener.
Vann drypper fra roseblad,
fra blomsterkranser og bjorkegrener.
Roser pu kranser boyes i morke,
under regn hviler stillhet og fred.
Etter avdodes eget onske
har bisetteksen funnet sted
i stillhet

(translation)

Dark clouds over floodlit church,
rain falls only in freshly shoveled soil.
Priest and relatives and friends are gone.
They are said and prayed, the last words.
In silence - no mourning speeches,
- no memorial service.
Only soil and flower wreaths,
- regntung kirkelund.
Rain-heavy roof over freshly shoveled grave,
vute traces between memorial stones.
Water drips from rose petals,
from flower wreaths and birch branches.
Roses pu wreaths boyes in the dark,
under rain rests silence and peace.
After avododes own wish
the bisette text has taken place
in silence
