Lyrics and translation Halvdan Sivertsen - Venta På Toget




Venta På Toget
Waiting for the Train
Vi står her og venta toget
We're standing here waiting for the train
Vi står her og trør
We're standing here stomping
Og venta toget
And waiting for the train
Mens havet flør
While the ocean flirts
Han gikk da det kom, ho kom da det gikk
He got on when it came, she got on when it left
Bergensbanen der de møttes
On the Bergen Line where they met
Han prøvd med et smil, ho prøvd med et nikk
He tried with a smile, she tried with a nod
Og siden satt de der anføttes
And then they sat there charmed
De sku tell Bodø der de aldri hadde vært
They were going to Bodø where they had never been
Ho sku skole, han sku gjør det militært
She was going to school, he was going to do his military service
Og da Nordlandsbanen tok dem siste biten
And when the Nordland Line took them the last bit
Va de blitt hand i hand og verden liten
They were hand in hand and the world was small
Men vi står her og venta toget
But we're standing here waiting for the train
Vi står her og trør
We're standing here stomping
Og venta toget
And waiting for the train
Mens havet flør
While the ocean flirts
Og du kan reis tell Røros, dra tell Kristiansand
And you can travel to Røros, go to Kristiansand
Finn prinsessa uten like
Find a princess without equal
Når livet går skinna, kan livet godt an
When life runs on the tracks, life can go well
Og du vinn halve kongeriket
And you will win half the kingdom
Men ingen nord og sør og vest førr NSB
But no north and south and west before NSB
Får ta forsinka tog i overfylt kupé
Can take delayed trains in overcrowded compartment
La morradagen langs skinnegangen
Let the morning sun go along the tracks
hele landet søng samme sangen
So the whole country sings the same song
Men vi står her og venta toget
But we're standing here waiting for the train
Vi står her og trør
We're standing here stomping
Og venta toget
And waiting for the train
Mens havet flør
While the ocean flirts
Han gikk da det kom, ho kom da det gikk
He got on when it came, she got on when it left
Bergensbanen der de møttes
On the Bergen Line where they met
Ho prøvd med et smil, han prøvd med et nikk
She tried with a smile, he tried with a nod
Og siden satt de der anføttes
And then they sat there charmed
Men ingen nord og sør og vest førr NSB
But no north and south and west before NSB
Får ta forsinka tog i overfylt kupé
Can take delayed trains in overcrowded compartment
La morradagen langs skinnegangen
Let the morning sun go along the tracks
hele landet søng samme sangen
So the whole country sings the same song
Og vi står her og venta toget
And we're standing here waiting for the train
Vi står her og trør
We're standing here stomping
Og venta toget
And waiting for the train
Mens havet
While the ocean
Og vi står her og venta toget
And we're standing here waiting for the train
Vi står her og trør
We're standing here stomping
Og venta toget
And waiting for the train
Mens havet havet havet
While the ocean ocean ocean
Vi står her og venta toget
We're standing here waiting for the train
