Norge 🇳🇴

Det er den draumen me ber på

at noko vedunderleg skal skje,

at det må skje –

at tidi skal opna seg,

at hjarta skal opna seg,

at dører skal opna seg,

at berget skal opna seg,

at kjeldor skal springa –

at draumen skal opna seg,

at me ei morgonstund skal glida inn

på ein våg me ikkje har visst um.

– Olav H. Hauge (1966)

It’s the dream we carry in secret

that something miraculous will happen,

that it must happen –

that time will open

that the heart will open

that doors will open

that the mountains will open

that springs will gush –

that the dream will open,

that one morning we will glide into

some little harbour we didn’t know was there.

– Translation by Scottish poet Robin Fulton
