Текст и перевод песни Sigvart Dagsland - Himmel

Himmel

Det fins ein strofe så adle kan
Der bor lengst inn bag det blå i kvert øye
Den kvile trygt øve jordens land
Fra hav te fjell
Suse ved lyng å vann

Den lyde best onna trange kår
Den er et ekko av Guds drømmer i det høye
Den stryge mildt gjøno kongens hår
Når dagen e endt
Å han kjenne om hjerte slår

Å opp av sultens hær av mennesker på vandring
Stige strofens enkle ord:
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel

Den ligge gjømt i en morders munn
Å bag en rynke i den rige rederens panne
Den bor i vraket på havets bunn
Å stige mot Gud
Fra strandede hjerters grunn
Ein strofe reise seg fra sygeseng å celler
Å fylle jordens katedral:
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel

Den bor i temple onna perlemor å gull
Den følle trøstens grå kapell
Den krybe opp fra brente byer å mørke hull
Den bor i oppbrudd og farvel:
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel

Gje meg
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel
Gje meg
Himmel
Himmel
La meg få et glimt a himmel

La meg få et glimt
A himmel

Heaven

There is a line so noble
That dwells deep down behind the blue in every eye
It rests peacefully above the earthly land
From sea to mountain
Whispers over heather and water

It sounds best in cramped conditions
It is an echo of God's dreams on high
It gently strokes the king's hair
When the day is over
And he feels his heart beating

And up from the hungry army of people on the move
Rises the line's simple words:
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven

It lies hidden in a murderer's mouth
And behind a wrinkle in the rich shipowner's forehead
It lives in the wreck on the seabed
And rises towards God
From the ground of stranded hearts
A line rises from sickbeds and cells
And fills the earth's cathedral:
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven

It lives in the temple under mother-of-pearl and gold
It follows the grey chapel of consolation
It crawls up from burnt-down cities and dark holes
It lives in departures and farewells:
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven

Give me
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven
Give me
Heaven
Heaven
Let me catch a glimpse of heaven

Let me catch a glimpse
Of heaven
