Текст и перевод песни Odd Nordstoga - Kvalen

Kvalen

Den støsste majesteten e i havet
Fær ikkje bestemt seg hørr han iver i
Djupi gjev han maten, men han pustar i det fri
Dømde han te livet slik i mellom
Båe stad er drepen om'n legg seg til
Alle fær'n kjenne på høtt egentlig han vil

Sø han syng en song i mellom for å få'n te å gå
Syng en song i mellom for å få det te å gå
Han søng ein song om ljosi langt nede i det blå
Han søng en song i mellom for å prøve å forstå

Trykt i hop med tusen tonn med vatn
Drøymer han om svålene i sommårvind
Fyller upp mæ vengjer slik som vatnet'kkje kjem inn
Det tenkjer han på ein gong i fjor
Langt ute der i lantern ei stjernenatt
Han såg så langt der uti atte noko kom i att

Så han syng en song i mellom for å få'n te å gå
Syng en song i mellom for å få det te å gå
Han søng ein song om ljosi langt nede i det blå
Han søng en song i mellom for å prøve å forstå

Sø tunge tunge tonder innpå stronde
Småfuglar og måsune, dei glir forbi
Set seg te på berget med eit bankans hjerte i
Så hjelpelaus og tung der eg va
Sole sprekkjer upp bak mørke sky
Og enda er det lengje te at havet flør inn

Så han syng en song i mellom for å få'n te å gå
Han søng en song i mellom for å få det te å gå
Han let ein song om djupi over gras og engjer gå
Han søng en song i mellom for å prøve å forstå

Så han syng en song i mellom for å få'n te å gå
Syng en song i mellom for å få det te å gå
Han søng ein song om djupi langt nede i det blå
Han søng en song i mellom for å prøve å forstå

The Whale

The greatest majesty is in the ocean
Can't make up his mind, hear him roar in
The deep gives him food, but he breathes in the open air
Condemned him to life like that in between
Either place is deadly if he lies down
Everyone gets to feel what he really wants

So he sings a song in between to get him going
Sings a song in between to make it go
He sang a song about the light far down in the blue
He sang a song in between to try to understand

Squeezed in with thousands of tons of water
He dreams of swallows in the summer breeze
Fills up my wings so that the water can't get in
He thinks back on a time last year
Far out there in a starlit starry night
He looked out so far that something came back in

So he sings a song in between to get him going
Sings a song in between to make it go
He sang a song about the light far down in the blue
He sang a song in between to try to understand

So heavy heavy waves on the shore
Small birds and seagulls, they glide by
Perch on the rock with a pounding heart
So helpless and heavy where I was
The sun bursts forth from behind dark clouds
And still it's a long time before the ocean recedes

So he sings a song in between to get him going
He sang a song in between to make it go
He let a song about the deep go over grass and meadows
He sang a song in between to try to understand

So he sings a song in between to get him going
Sings a song in between to make it go
He sang a song about the deep far down in the blue
He sang a song in between to try to understand
