Thanks odnoitozhe! I think you did an awesome job :) I don't think I could rate it though, as I'm uncertain myself regarding several things. Btw, did you miss the 2nd verse last line intentionally?
Maybe Gjendine could help on this one, she's a masterful translator and appears to be fluent in all dialects.

Good for someone not from Surnadal, but I see some mistakes, the biggest ones being these:
It's søg, not søk. Meaning rustling sound
A better translation of the first part of the second line is: now spring is coming, or more litterally: now it is becoming spring
The end of the second verse means: and wade (walk through) grass, alpine sowthistle and stone bramble.
haua means hills here
sel is sæl in normal written Norwegian, 'happy' in English
e stoinna in this way of writing this dialect can be both 'i stundi' as you have thought while translated it, but also 'eg stundar', 'I yearn', as seems to be the case here. What's 'I' and 'in' in English is written the same by Hyldbakk, but I think there might be a slight difference while speaking?
Poinn is dialect spelling (and shortening) of uppunder meaning 'up under'. So the meaning of part 18 is: upunder the cold ice with such a cool drink
kløv means a load that is split in two (cloven) and put on the back of an animal like a horse.
So sistkveldskløva would mean something like the last load of the evening (or in context maybe last load of the year). I think
Now, I might also be mistaken (I'm also not from there) so please correct me
This poem was written towards the end of World War II, and it is said that "spring" in the text is a metaphor for the liberation of Norway and is thus a tribute to peace. The poem is written in dialect, Surnadal dialect to be more precise. Considering that I'm not from Surnadal and that their dialect sounds like complete gibberish to outsiders (outsiders being everyone else), I think I did a decent job. Feel free to improve or correct my translation if you find anything.
