Текст и перевод песни Helge Borglund feat. Rita Engebretsen - Svarta Bjørn

Svarta Bjørn

Blant höga fjäll och vidder, långt nord det var en gång
At rallarfolket knogat på banan dagen lång
Där också var en flicka som prövat fröjd ock nöd
Och Svarta Björn var namnet som över Norden löd

Refr: Svarta Björn i höga nord
Vilar nu i Nordens jord
Svarta Björn i höga nord

Där mellan berg och dalar, blant Nordens barska män
Hon fikk sin rallarsaga, i dag vi minnas den
Hon var en stor hjältinna blant rallarfolket där
Var hon och Värmlandspojken varandra hadde kär

Refr.

Hon var en rallardrottning uti et arbetslag
Fast om hon änn var kjöksan vid spisen varje dag
Vi hissar hedersflaggan för hon som jobbat har
För rallaren i Norden, hon får nu sin fanfar

Refr.

Nu banar går mot Norden, där mang en rallar dog
Vi reser nu bekvämligt och glömmer deras knog
Men hon den ända kvinnan som aldrig svikat dem
Var ljuset i barakken, som var en rallars hem

Refr.

I dag till hennes ära vi sjunger denna sång
Hon var en rallars flicka i höga nord en gång
Vi ägnar denna visan til hon som tok sin törn
Den underbara kvinnan, vars namn var Svarta Björn

Black Bear

Amongst high mountains and plains, far north it was once
When the navvies toiled on the line all day long
Where was a girl who tasted joy and misery
And Black Bear was the name that echoed across the North

Chorus: Black Bear in the far north
Now rests in the soil of the north
Black Bear in the far north

There amidst the hills and valleys, amongst the harsh men of the North
She came into her navvy's tale; today we remember it
She was a great heroine amongst the navvies there
Where she and the boy from Värmland loved each other

Chorus

She was a queen of navvies in a work squad
Even though she was in the kitchen by the stove every day
We raise the flag of honor for she who worked
For the navvies in the North, she will now receive her fanfare

Chorus

Now the line is going north, where many navvies died
We are traveling comfortably now and forgetting their toil
But she is the only woman who never let them down
Was the light in the barracks, which was a navvy's home

Chorus

Today in her honor we sing this song
She was a navvy's girl in the far north once
We dedicate this ballad to she who took her turn
The wonderful woman whose name was Black Bear
