Текст и перевод песни Elvira Nikolaisen - Grevling i taket

Grevling i taket

Så mye rart kan hende når man bor i en tunnel,
Og det vi synger om er ikke tull.
Vi trodde før at over oss var bare jord og fjell,
Men plutselig en dag så vi et hull.

Og ned fra hullet tittet det en grå og snodig fyr,
Et overrasket blikk med hår omkring.
Men fyren hadde hale, så vi så det var et dyr,
Vi skjønte snart det var en greveling.

Vi har en grevling i taket
- Greveling, grevelang,
Vi har en grevling i taket
-Grevelang.
Vi har ikke ellediller eller krokofanter,
Men vi har en grevling i taket.

Goddagen, lille grevling, du, det der var ikke smart,
Du skulle tenkt på slike ting i sted.
Å havne langt der oppe i et tak er ganske rart,
Og særlig når du drev og grov deg ned.

Vi har en grevling i taket
- Greveling, grevelang,
Vi har en grevling i taket
-Grevelang.

Vi har ikke ellediller eller krokofanter,
Men vi har en grevling i taket.

Vi har ikke ellediller eller krokofanter,
Men vi har en grevling i taket.

Badger in the Roof

So many strange things can happen when you live in a tunnel,
And what we sing about is not nonsense.
We used to think that above us was only soil and rock,
But suddenly one day we saw a hole.

And down from the hole peered a gray and strange guy,
A surprised look with hair around.
But the guy had a tail, so we saw it was an animal,
We soon realized it was a badger.

We have a badger in the roof
- Badger, badger,
We have a badger in the roof
-Badger.
We do not have ellediller or crocophants,
But we have a badger in the roof.

Good day, little badger, you, that was not smart,
You should have thought about such things before.
To end up far up there in a roof is quite strange,
And especially when you were busy digging down.

We have a badger in the roof
- Badger, badger,
We have a badger in the roof
-Badger.

We do not have ellediller or crocophants,
But we have a badger in the roof.

We do not have ellediller or crocophants,
But we have a badger in the roof.
