there was a deep breath

anden vart trekt djupt

and then the mountain stood there

og så stod fjellet der

then the mountains stood there

så stod fjella der

and that’s how the mountains stand there

og slik står fjella der

and stoop downwards

og lutar seg nedover

and downwards

og nedover

into themselves

i seg sjølv

and hold their breath

og held anden

while heaven and sea

medan himmel og hav

stroke and beat

stryk og slår

the mountain holds its breath

held fjellet anden
