"Heimvegen" lyrics

[Norwegian:]

Det var stunder eg ikkje hugsa
Korleis det sag ut her inne
Stemmene mine snakka ikkje same sprak
Som bøkene er skrevne pa

Eg drøymde da framleis i fargar
Men brutne av ei anna sol
I meg rann og brann det
Blodet og auget, auget og blodet

Om ein skulle teikne eit kart
Som syna vegen
Matte ein valgt fra kvar
Minna sprang ut
Den rastlause ser augneblikk
Skrika overdøyver tida
Den tause ser ei levetid
Ein del og det heile

Heimvegen
Soga om no
Heimvegen
Attende til attende

Ein la ut men visste ikkje
At det var ei reise
Longt fra heimen
I take, regn og storm
Da ein tone steig fra det indre
Vart ein bratt vakne
Men trengde ikkje snu
Haldt fram, haldt oppe

At det som har vore er evig
Er løgnas eiga løgn
Orda kan endras sa lenge
Minna er til
Me veit sa mykje meir no
Tapa er bal pa hogdene
Der me kryssa over
Pa vegen heim

Heimvegen
Soga om no
Heimvegen
Attende til attende

[English translation:]

["The Road Home"]

There were times when I could not remember
What this place looked like from the inside
My voices did not speak the language
Written in the books

I still dreamt in colors
Another sun broke them
It ran and burned within me
The blood and the eye, the eye and the blood

If one were to draw a map
Showing the way
One would have to choose
From where the memories originated
The restless sees the moments
The screams block out time
The silent sees a lifetime
A part and the whole

The road home
The tale of now
The road home
Return to the retun

We set out but did not know
It was a journey
Far away from home
In fog, rain and storm
When a note rose from within
We awoke suddenly
But did not have to turn back
Kept forward, kept up

That the past is eternal
Is the lie's own lie
The words can change as long
As the memories exist
We know so much more now
The losses are fires on the mountains
Where we crossed over
On the way home

The road home
The tale of now
The road home
Return to the return
