I byen Samarkand - Odd Nordstoga

I byen Samarkand

Er kvelden alltid stille

Der høyrest låg musikk

Og vindane er milde

I byen Samarkand

Er aldri mørkt og kaldt

Der høyrer hjartet heime

Der kan du gløyme alt

Der kan du gløyme alt

I byen Samarkand

Sit kvinnene og stundar

I strålande palass

Og i olivenlundar

Mot byen Samarkand

Eg styrer mine steg

Der høyrer hjartet heime

Der er det plass for meg

Der er det plass for meg

I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand

Er saknet lett å bere

Der fins det gull og silke

Alt hjartet kan begjære

I byen Samarkand

Det har du høyrt fortalt

Der høyrer hjarta heime

Der kan du gløyme alt

Der kan du gløyme alt

Der kan du gløyme alt

I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand

I byen Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand

The evening is always quiet

There was the loudest music

And the winds are mild

In the city of Samarkand

Is never dark and cold

There the heart belongs

There you can forget everything

There you can forget everything

In the city of Samarkand

Sit the women and moan

In glorious palace

And in olive groves

Towards the city of Samarkand

I control my steps

There the heart belongs

There is room for me

There is room for me

In the city of Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand

Is missing easy to pray

There is gold and silk

All the heart can desire

In the city of Samarkand

You've heard that

That is where the heart belongs

There you can forget everything

There you can forget everything

There you can forget everything

In the city of Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand

In the city of Samarkand
