Lyrics
Han forlot alt han hadde
For det han aldri hadde fått
Han blei dyrka og elska
I et regnbueslott
Og han elska igjen som ein hengiven unge
Han dansa og sang songar
Som han aldri hadde sunge'
Nå bur han aleina i minnenes land
Prinsessa forlot han
Han e' ein sveken mann
Nå vett han godt ka skyld e'
Og han drikke når han kan
For å holde på skammen
Og forbli ei slagen mann
Vennene har meldt seg
Han e' redd for kjeft og skjenn
Ungane hans savna’n
Men han drar’kje heim igjen
Nå bur han aleina i minnenes land
Prinsessa forlot han
Han e' ein sveken mann
Av alt det han forlot
Va' det versta bud og krav
Som ein øvelse i bot slo han nådekranå av
Lyrics translation
He left everything he had
For what he had never received
He was worshipped and loved
In a rainbow Castle
And he loved again as a devoted young man
He danced and sang songs
Like he had never sunge'
Now he lives aleina in the land of memory
Princess he left
He e ' ein sveken mann
Now he knows well to blame e'
And he drinks when he can
To hold on to the shame
And remain a beaten man
The friends have signed up
He e' afraid of shut up and scolding
Ngane his savna'n
But he goes ' kje home again
Now he lives aleina in the land of memory
Princess he left
He e ' ein sveken mann
Of all that he left
Va ' it versta bid and claim
As an exercise in penance, he struck Grace crane off
