Dreiv frå land - Staut

Så gøtt'n skulle få det

Så bra som alt sku' bli

No ville’n snart få sjå det

Streif frå gamal ti'

No va' det vørte ti’e

No skulle’n skifte reir

Gå tur på grønar si’e

No ville’n snart ha meir -- han ville ha meir

Han skulle vel heimatt då'n dreiv ifrå land

Han kjende se rein att å' kjende se mann

No ville’n nok ut å' lea se'

Langt frå like ve'

Heilt dit der alt kunne skje

Så såg'n se tebake

Der havne ein gong låg

Han hadde sløppe taket

Då skjønte'n ko’n såg

Ho hadde stått å' venta

Te' slutt så brann ei bru

På brue tusla jenta

No ville ho ikkji snu -- ho vill' ikkji snu

Så ville’n vel heimatt men dreiv ifrå land

Han ville bli rein att å' kjenne seg mann

Han va 'kji i stand te lea se

Om han va' like ve'

Heime der alt kunne skje

Så ville’n vel heimatt men dreiv ifrå land

Han ville bli rein att å' kjenne seg mann

Han va 'kji i stand te lea se

Om han va' like ve'

Heime der alt kunne skje

So gött'n was going to get it

As good as everything was going to be

Well, we would soon see it

Stroll from old ten'

Now it was ten o'clock

Now they should change nests

Go for a walk on the greens

Now he soon wanted more -- he wanted more

He was probably going home when he drifted off shore

He knew so clean that he knew so man

Now I would probably go out to 'lea se'

Far from equal woe'

All the way to where anything could happen

Then saw'n see tea bake

There once ended up lying

He had let the roof down

Then he realized what he saw

She had been waiting

Finally, a bridge burned

On the bridge, the girl chattered

Now he didn't want to turn -- he didn't want to turn

Then you would like to go home but drift away from the country

He wanted to become clean to know himself as a man

He was able to see

If he va' like ve'

Home where anything could happen

Then you would like to go home but drift away from the country

He wanted to become clean to know himself as a man

He was able to see

If he va' like ve'

Home where anything could happen
