Afrodite

Don leat dás, ruovttusteame dál
Mun lean maid, mun lean maiddái dás
Mun lean iežan čiegas, gulan gal du doppe feaskáristáme
 
Don leat juo-, don leat juoga don
In mun gávnnaše gostege nuppi du
Don leat áidna gean mun fuolan ja niegadan, ráhkis Abelle
 
Čuojaldahtán iežan gitárain nuorravuođa nuohta
Lea Afrodite, bearraša ipmil, Hubbe lea čállán su lávlaga
 
Čáppa nie-, čáppa niegut go
Don die lihkadat, don huraidat
Áiggun oađđit oanehaš vel, mun in doama gosage odne

Aphrodite, translated by Julie Whitehorn and Ville Söderbaum

You are here, in our home now
I am also, I am also here
I am in my own corner, but I hear you there in the hall
 
You are some-, you are something, you
I would never find another you anywhere
You are the only one that I want and dream about, dear Abelle
 
I play a melody from my youth on my guitar
It is Aphrodite, the goddess of the family, Hubbe has written her song
 
Beautiful dreams, beautiful dreams when
You move over there, you’re humming
I’m going to sleep some more, today I’m not stressing at all
