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. |
