1 Et sted som har tilhørt barndommen A place which has belonged to the childhood
2 er udelelig i sin per se is indivisible in its per se
3 med masse rom, og i rommene with lots of rooms, and in the rooms
4 fløyter toget som tre the train whistles like t[h]ree


5 når hånden griper mot lysbryteren when the hand grasps for the lightswitch
6 og lukker døren i en krok. and closes the door in a corner.
7 It's snøball, and that, sier skattyteren It's snowball, and that, tells the taxpayer
8 og setter sinnene i kok. and sets the minds a-boiling.


9 Det er kanskje til deg, sier Lomvik Hansen, It is maybe for you, tells Lomvik Hansen,
10 en yter av dimensjon. a payer of impressive amounts/dimensions.
11 Hvis barndommens by er som nåtidssansen             If the childhood's town is like the sense of presence
12 yter vi din pensjon. we will render your pension.


13 Svanen dreier sitt hode The swan turns its head
14 under tvil. in doubt.
15 I himmelens loggbok sto det: In heaven's log it was written:
16 En gang til. One more time.


17 Det blinker skarpt i det grønne løv, It glints sharply in the green leaf,
18 når jeg skal skrive, when I shall write,
19 som henger under stjernenes støv. that hangs under the dust of the stars.
20 Men nuet skal blive. But the Presence shall Last.
