anden vart trekt djupt

there was a deep breath

og så stod fjellet der

and then the mountain stood there

så stod fjella der

then the mountains stood there

og slik står fjella der

and that’s how the mountains stand there

og lutar seg nedover

and stoop downwards

og nedover

and downwards

i seg sjølv

into themselves

og held anden

and hold their breath

medan himmel og hav

while heaven and sea

stryk og slår

stroke and beat

held fjellet anden

the mountain holds its breath
