Landet imot Nord

Det fins ein stad av rikdom full
Gatene er lagt med gull
Og det er like borti landet imot nord
Och når det er tid for deg å gå
Her ei lekse skal du få
Du kan miste meir enn du drøymde om å nå.
 
For når du når ditt drøymde paradis
Og alt du finn er stein og is
Och du veit det er for seint for deg å snu
For det kosta alt å koma hit
Til den stranda der du einsam sit
Og er like langt i landet imot nord.
 
Opp og ned ei nordvendt strand
Tusenvis med spor i sand
Kvart av dei ei gåte utan svar
Og bulgjene langs stranda driv
Er dei døden eller liv?
Og kven er neste ut imot landet imot nord?
 
Ei mørk og sorgtung natt
Er det me som skal ta fatt
På ein veg så langt, så langt av lei
Men alltid er ei von å sjå
Som hjelper deg til å halde på
Denne draumen om eit land der imot nord.
 
For når du når ditt drøymde paradis
Og alt du finn er stein og is
Och du veit det er for seint for deg å snu
For det kosta alt å koma hit
Til den stranda der du einsam sit
Og er like langt i landet imot nord.
 
Du er like langt i landet imot nord.
 
Translation

The Land in the North

There is a city full of wealth
The streets are laden with gold
And it's just down the road in the land in the North
And when it's time for you to go
Here you'll learn a lesson
You can lose more than you dreamt of achieving.
 
Cause when you reach your dreamt of paradise
And all you find is stone and ice
And you know it's too late for you to turn around
Cause it cost all you had to come here
To this strand where you sit alone
And you're no closer to the land in the North.
 
Up and down a north-facing strand
Thousands of tracks in the sand
Each of them a riddle without an answer
And the waves drift along the strand
Are they dead or do they live?
And who is next out towards the land in the North?
 
A dark and sorrowful night
It is me who will set out
on a road so long, so long
But there is always hope to be seen
to help you hold on
to that dream about a land there in the North.
 
Cause when you reach your dreamt of paradise
And all you find is stone and ice
And you know it's too late for you to turn around
Cause it cost all you had to come here
To this strand where you sit alone
And you're no closer to the land in the North.
 
You are no closer to the land in the North.

The streets are ladden with gold - laden
Cauce when you reach your dreamt of paradise - 'Cause
And you know it's too late for you turn around - to turn around
And they dead or are they alive? - And are they
