Du sång

Moai čohkkáime
Mun in lean oaidnán du
Ná njunnálaga
Mun buorástahtten du
Don oidnet ovtta prinssa
Muhto dat in lean mun
Dat in lean mun
Mun doivon don ledjet dies
Moai han humaime
 
Moai humaime
Don lohket iežat beahtahallan
Go it lean dalle válljejuvvon
Go akto gártet čohkkát
Ledjet eatnistat vel jearran
Dat lei jeđđen du ja lohkan
Pojkar springer efter gråmus
Dat lea nu ollu álkit
Mun viggen mun maid jeđđet
Don gehččet eará beavdái
Oidnet ovtta prinssa
Muhto dat in lean mun
Na, dat in lean mun
Mun doivon don ledjet dies
Moai han boagusteimme
 
Moai boagusteimme
Don lohket ahte humor
Lea divraseamos diŋga
Divraset go eará
Mii boahtá easkka maŋŋil
Mun liikojin du gullat
Mun čuvvon mielde maŋŋil
Moai leimme seammá náššas
Don lohket ahte ledjet
Oaidnán ovtta prinssa
Muhto dat in lean mun
Dat in lean mun
Mun doivon don ledjet dies
Dál čálán mun en sång
 
Dál čálán mun en sång
Don dieđát mis ii leat go okta
Ahte buohkain mis lea okta
Nu go Eminem maid lávlu
One shot, one opportunity
Dat gusto maiddái dutnje
Don oidnet ovtta prinssa
Muhto dat in lean mun
Dat in lean mun
Mun doivon don ledjet dies
Jus don goassige
 
Jus goassige
Fas boađát deike márkanii
Don lohket don it goasse
It eisege don boađe
Fárret dán beallái
Muhto jus don lihkká gárttat
Jus eatnáduvat deike
Jus guossái boađát, riŋges
Don leat deike guođđán lávlaga
Maid áiggun dutnje lávlut
 
Dat in lean mun
Dat in lean mun
Mun doivon don ledjet dies
Ii dat lean go du sång

Your song, translated by Julie Whitehorn and Ville Söderbaum

We sat there
I hadn’t seen you before
Over the table like this
I shook your hand
You saw a prince
But it wasn’t me
It wasn’t me
I thought you were present
As we were talking
 
We talked
You said you were disappointed
That you weren’t chosen
That you had to sit by yourself
You asked your mother about it
She soothed you and said
Boys run after grey mice
It’s so much easier
I too tried to comfort you
You looked at the next table
You saw a prince
But it wasn’t me
It wasn’t me
I thought you were there
Because we laughed
 
We laughed
You said that humor
Is more valuable
Is more precious than everything else
That comes after it
I liked your voice
I followed
You to a  party
You said you saw
A prince
But it wasn’t me
It wasn’t me
I thought you were there
Now I will write you a song
 
Now I will write you a song
You know that we have only one
That each of us had only one
Like Eminem sings
One shot, one opportunity
That goes for you too
You saw a prince
But it wasn’t me
It wasn’t me
I thought you were there
If you ever
 
If you ever again
Come to our village
You said that you won’t
Never again will you
Move to this side
But if you somehow happen to
Lose control and end up here
Please call me
You left a song here
I want to sing it to you
 
It wasn’t me
It wasn’t me
I thought you were there
It was just your song
