Der ute står ildrødt et flammehjul,
Flammer på hav mot land.
Her vrimler fugl fra kløfters skjul.
Og under går havet langs strand.
Det suser i vinger, nu daler de, se
Fugler i klippen som sne.
Midnatt sol, midnatt sol
Fugleberg sover, drømmesyn.
Midnatt sol!
|
Out there stands fiery red a flaming wheel,
Blazing on the sea toward land.
It swarms with birds from hidden crevices,
And below, the sea runs along the shore.
The rustle of wings, now they land, –
Look, birds on the cliffs like snow.
Midnight sun! Rookery sleeps. Visions.
Midnight sun!
|
Her vil jeg for Herren bøye mitt kne,
Takke for evig lys.
Og var jeg som Fuglen fløy jeg avsted.
Utover rav-gyllent hav,
Mot rødmende sol som stiger derav
I rummet fylt av Guds fred.
Midnatt sol, midnatt sol.
|
Here I will kneel before the Lord
In thanks for eternal light,
And were I like the bird I would fly away
Out over the amber-gold sea
Toward the red of the rising sun
In the space filled with God’s peace.
Midnight sun, midnight sun!
In the Midnight Sun!
