Autumn’s rain.

A poem for the rainy days of October. First Norwegian (original), then its translation in English.

Finnes det verden
Uten høstens regn?
Finnes det plass der
Alt er ikke våtnet og trist?
Hvor er den sola som skulle
Ble sett fra dypeste gress?

Er det bare en løgn som vi hørte?
Er det sola som er for alltid borte?
Vi som er voksne må forlate drømmen
Det er jo bare et øyeblikk igjen

Sola skal bli for sent.

*** translation ***

Is there a world
Without autumn’s rain?
Is there a place where
Everything isn’t wet and sad?
Where’s the sun which should
Be seen from the deepest grass?

Is it just a lie that we heard?
Is the sun for ever away?
We who are adults have to abandon the dream
After all, there’s only a moment left

Sun will be too late.
