Det som varer - Odd Nordstoga

Eg er ein som leitar

Og stundom ein som finn

Men for å ta det fram att

Må eg tøyme tanken min

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter vel det som varer

Du kan vera tvilar

Hell kanskje ein som veit

Men når du trur du har det

Legg du atter ut på leit

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter vel det som varer

Eg er ein som drøymde

Og draumen den vart sann

Eg grov så djupt i minnet mitt

Og fann eit framandt land

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter vel det som gror

Kven er han eg fylgjer

I mine eigne spor

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter det som gror

Kva heiter det som varer

Og går eg i det landet

Mangt rart og vakkert der

Så undrast eg og veit eg det

Har alltid vori her

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter vel det som gror

Kven er han eg fylgjer

I mine eigne spor

Kva heiter det som varer

Kva heiter det som gror

Kva heiter det som varer

I'm one who searches

And sometimes one who finds

But to bring it out that

Do I have to empty my mind?

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what lasts?

You may be in doubt

Maybe someone who knows

But when you think you have it

Put yourself out on the trail again

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what lasts?

I'm one who dreamed

And the dream came true

I rough so deep in my memory

And found a foreign land

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what grows?

Who is he I follow

In my own tracks

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what grows?

What is the name of what lasts

And I'm going to that country

Lots of weird and beautiful there

Then I wonder and I know it

Have always been here

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what grows?

Who is he I follow

In my own tracks

What is the name of what lasts

What is the name of what grows?

What is the name of what lasts
