Vi skal ikkje sove bort sumarnatta

Song by Dan-Elias Brevig, "Vi skal ikkje sove bort sumarnatta" written by Aslaug L Lygre & Geirr Tveitt

Vi skal ikkje sova bort sumarnatta,
ho er for ljos til det.
Då skal vi vandra isaman ute,
|: under dei lauvtunge tre. :|

Då skal vi vandra isaman ute,
der blomar igraset står.
Vi skal ikkje sova bort sumarnatta,
|: som kruser med dogg vårt hår. :|

Vi skal ikkje sova frå høysåteangen
og grashoppespelet i eng,
men vandra i lag underbleikblå himlen
|: til fuglane lyfter veng. :|

Og kjenna at vi er i slekt med jorda,
med vinden og kvite sky,
og vita at vi skal vera isaman
|: like til morgongry. :|
We should not sleep away the summer night,
it is too light for that.
Then we shall wander together in the open
under the trees that are heavy under their leaves

Then we shall wander together in the open
where flowers in the grass are standing
We shall not sleep away the summer night
which with dew our hair does fuss

We shall not sleep away from the smell of hay
and the singing of the grasshoppers in the fields
but wander together under the pale blue sky
till the birds lift their wings

And feel that we are of the same kin as the earth
with the wind and the white clouds,
and know that we shall be together
all the time till dawn

We shall not sleep past the smell of fresh hay,

and the grasshopper's tunes in the field.

But wander toghether under pale blue skies,

[:until the birds spreads their wings:]

And to feel that we are of kin with the Earth

with the wind and the white clouds

And to know we'll be toghether

[:until the break of down:]

Slik... kanskje... Kan nesten synge det også:)

Kjempefint :) Utrolig vakker sang. Men synes du burde ta deg litt kunstneriske grep med oversettelsen for å få flyt ;P F.eks: We will not sleep through the summer night, she is too bright for that. Instead we'll wander outside together, [:under leaf heavy trees:] Instead we'll wander outside together, where flowers lay spread in the grass We will not sleep through the summer night, [:whose dew curls our hair:]
