Paroles et traduction Henning Sommerro - Vårsøg

Vårsøg

No skin det sol e høgste Svealiå
No bli det vår, det kjenne e so vel
De søng så tongt kring alle dalasiå
å synnåvinn han kjem å gjer me sel.

Når sommar′n kjem, da bli det fint e fjellå
Da ska e dit å hør kår bekkjinn søng
å kliv te topps e brattast berjestellå
å vea grass å tort å tåberløng

E kjenne lokt tå gras kring alle haua
å sola skin, å bjøllåin kling så kløkt.
Å tjønninn legg så blank der e ska lauva
Me berg ekreng, der e kainn sol me trøgt.

Ådu, å du, kår sårt å sælt e stoinna
Når sola skin frå kvite høgdå ne.
Da væt e vår'n han e kje lenger oinna
At e får levva slik ein somar te.

Da væt e vesst at bekkjinn legg å venta
Poinn kalle isa me så sval ein drekk.
- Når hausten kjem å sistkveldskløva henta
Da ska e takk for sommarn så e fekk

Spring Search

The sun's now higher up in the Svealiå sky
Now it's becoming spring, I can feel it deep down inside
They're singing everywhere, all around the mountain sides
and the south wind is coming to free us and resuscitate

When summer arrives, the mountains will look fine
I'll go there then and listen to the sound of the beck that sings
And climb way up to the steepest mountain top
and wander across the grass, the heather and the bog

I can smell the grass around all the corners
and the sun shines, and the bells ring so clearly.
And the tjønn becomes so bright there where the leaves will come
With rocks around, there I can sunbathe in peace.

Oh, oh, how sore and blessed is my body
When the sun shines down from the white mountain peaks.
Then I know that spring is no longer distant
That I'll live to see another summer like this.

Then I know for sure that the becks are waiting
To offer me ice-cold water, quenching my thirst.
- When autumn comes and the hours of daylight wane
Then I will give thanks for the summer I've received
