I finally found some time to use the site and edit the text. But I noticed that in the original lyrics the part "Eg sakna... Fø meg e mørke so dagen fø deg å ri andre" should be divided by putting "fø meg e mørke..." in the other stanza. Or at least I think so! Thank you if you can do it.

There are some errors in this translation. Here's a corrected version from "Fø meg e mørke so dagen fø deg å ri andre":
To me, darkness is like day to you and the others.
To me, day is like darkness to you and the others.
To me, scream is like laughter to you and the others.
To me, death is like life to you and the others.
Gloomy it is to think like this,
Gloomy it is to be like this,
Gloomy it is to live like this,
Gloomy it is, I like it that way...
Gloomy is it and gloomy it should be.
Dark is it and dark it should be.
Painful is it and painful it should be.
The longing is there, but it should not be there...
What you should not do is what I miss the most
What you should not say is what I miss the most,
you understand what I mean
it's you I miss most of all...
What I've lost has hurt,
it won't get better as the years go by.
It has only been painful,
and the longing has been heavy.
Pain, now I like it...
Scream, now I scream...
Death, now I die...
Longing, I miss you...
I die because I long...
And I long for death...
It would be good if someone could correct the translation.
I've lived in the same municipality as the late Valfar for years, I teach Norwegian and English, and am also intimately familiar with the dialect in which he wrote these lyrics.
