Mademoiselle - Odd Nordstoga

Ein seng står langsmed veggen her.

Den kaupte eg i Bergen då eg budde der

Hyllene tre står på kvar sin stad med tome permar og lause blad

Telefonen har gjeve med mange svar.

Og pulten den står på, har eg fått av far

På veggen mot aust heng eit måleri av eit tun eg faktisk har leika i

Eg har gitaren min i ein krok.

Den har skuld i nokra val eg tok

Me har vor’ute så mang ei gong.

Eg trur at i kveld så skal me ta ein song

Så kjære mademoiselle, do treng 'kje kom' til meg i kveld

Over meg har eg nok himmelen, men dette er ikkje ein dag for den

I dag har eg lukka i lomma mi.

Det er himmel nok viss ho berre blir

I meg ein flik av ei sjeldan ro.

Veit ikkje kvifor ho kom hit no

Men rundt meg mi dagbok i tusen ting som tek hugen med på ein liten sving

Og bortmed veggen ein trefigur eg kaupte då eg var på Afrikatur

Den har eg drege med like hit, eg trur at ein dag så dreg den meg dit

Så kjære mademoiselle, do tren 'kje kom' te meg i kveld

A bed stands along the wall here.

I bought it in Bergen when I bid there

The three shelves are still in place with empty binders and loose leaves

The phone has many answers.

And the desk it's on, I got from my father

On the wall to the east hangs a painting of a yard I have actually played in

I have my guitar in a hook.

It is to blame for some of the choices I made

We have been out so many times.

I think tonight we will have a song

So dear mademoiselle, you need to 'come' to me tonight

Above me I have the sky, but this is not a day for it

Today I have closed in my pocket.

It's heavenly enough if she just stays

In me a flap of a rare calm.

I do not know why she came here now

But around me my diary in a thousand things that take the mind at a slight turn

And next to the wall was a wooden figure I bought when I was on an Africa trip

I have dragged it right here, I think one day it will drag me there

So dear mademoiselle, do train 'kje kom' te me tonight
