Folque "Landet Ditt" lyrics

Translation to:en

Landet Ditt

En gang va æ og gjesta dæ.Med vidåpne arma tok du imot mæ.Fjellan dine sto stramt i giv- akt,Og sangen fra båra gafinaste tone og takt.

Kort vart heller den stunda vi fekk,men minnet og bildet fer aldri vækk.Landet der skyan skrapes av fjell,Der blomstran de bivra ogsjark pynta sjøen mot kveld.

Vågakallen sto vakt førr oss,Mens skarven han skreik og mygga ho sloss.Vi dansa i ring te svettdropan rann."Godnatt", gjespa sola ogseig ned i hav og forsvann.

En gang va æ og gjesta dæ.Med vidåpne arma tok du imot mæ.Nu e landet dett fjernt her ifra,og æ e aleinamed minnet som dagan ga.

Your Country

There was a time, when I visited you.With wide open arms, you took me in.1Your mountains stood tall and strong,2And the song of the3 waves, made4the finest tone and rhythm.5

Short-lived were the times we had,6but the memories and pictures will never go away.(in) The land where the clouds kiss7 the mountains,Where the flowers tremble8 andfishing boats decorate the sea as the evening descends.

Vågakallen9 stood guard for us,Whilst the cormorants10 were screeching and the mosquitoes were fighting.11We danced in a circle, until soaked in sweat.12"Goodnight", yawned the sun andsank into the ocean and disappeared.

There was a time, when I visited you.With wide open arms, you took me in.Now that land is distant from here,and I am alonewith memories that seem just from the other day.
