Innerst i sjelen - Sissel

Innerst i sjelen

Stiger landet frem:

En blank og gylden stripe land

Som en gang var mitt hjem

Skogene av stillhet

Stiene som går

Gjennom lyng of åkerland

Til havet utenfor

Lyd av vind og drømmer

Lukt av jord og hav

Ryggene som retter seg

Når stormen bøyer av…

Innerst i sjelen

Hvisker det hver kveld

Om et skjult og annet land

Som en gang var meg selv

Havet blir tilbake

Dønningene slår

Timeslag på timeslag

Mot landet utenfor

Restene av minne

Og skyggene av en sang

Blander seg med jord og himmel

I hver solnedgang

Innerst i sjelen

Skjelver det en klang

Fra et annet landskap

Som var meg en gang

Innerst i sjelen

Stiger landet frem:

En blank og gylden stripe land

Som en gang var mitt hjem

Instr.

Deep in the soul

The country is advancing:

A shiny and golden strip of land

Which was once my home

The forests of silence

The paths that go

Through heather and arable land

To the sea outside

Sound of wind and dreams

Smell of earth and sea

The backs straightening

When the storm bends off…

Deep in the soul

Whispers it every night

About a hidden and different country

Who once was myself

The sea is back

The swells beat

Hours upon hours

Towards the country outside

The remnants of memory

And the shadows of a song

Mixes with earth and sky

In every sunset

Deep in the soul

It shakes a sound

From another landscape

That was me once

Deep in the soul

The country is advancing:

A shiny and golden strip of land

Which was once my home
