Kari Bremnes Hurtigrute translation
Æ hadde bestandig den drømmen
I always had that dreamI always had that dream
da æ va ei lita pia
When I was a little girl living
ved en diger fjord
by a large fjord
Om å få komme med ei hurtigrute
To travel with a coastal ship
dit æ engang skulle
Somewhere where I was going to go
Særlig om kvelden
Especially during the evenings
når hurtigruta ropte langt derute fra
When the coastal ship called from afar
og sa ho va på nord
And said that it was on the way
og æ sprang ned på kaia for å se
And I ran down to the harbour to look
Det va en fest som kom
It was like a party when it came
et Tusen og en natt med smak av salt
Like one thousand and one nights with a salty flavour
Med avskjed i og herregud der e du
With a goodbye, and oh my God, there you are!
Med pappeske med katte og med egg som ikkje måtte brestes
With cardboard boxes, with cats and with eggs that were not supposed to crack
Med høge rop og trosse som blei kasta hardt
With loud shouts and hawsers that were thrown to land hard
mod kaia for å festes
against the quay to be attached
Det va den store verden som la te
It was the big world that came in
Skip i stål med eventyr langs ripen
It was a ship made of steel with fairy tales on the edges
Kaptein I svarte klær med ekte gull i stripen
The captain in black clothes with real gold in the stripes
Det va glede på mørk bunn som
It was happiness with black on its bottom
Glede på mørk bunn
happiness with black on its bottom
som kom
who came
Æ hadde bestandig den drømmen
I always had that dreamI always had that dream
da æ va ei lita pia
When I was a little girl living
ved en diger fjord
by a large fjord
Om å få komme med ei hurtigrute
To travel with a coastal ship
dit æ engang skulle
Somewhere where I was going to go
