lyrics

Eadnán bákti
ja mearra
ja albmi don leat
Seammá nanus
ja njuovžil
ja geahpas
go dat
Àiggiid čađa
du dedde
ja jaskkodit ge
muhto
ieš eallin bealuštii
du
cuožžilit
De luohte don lieđđi leat

Eatnigiella mus čuodjá
du sátnin
don mus
Ádden sániid
dat čudjet
ja gulan du mus
It leat fáŋga
it bálvá
it ráiggiid duokŋas
Dus maid lohppi lea dárbbašit
jeđđehusa
go ollu
dus gáibidan leat

Dat du futnot
go dihtet
don vuoigadis leat
Vearridaguid
sii
čihket
ja giellásiid
buot
Don leat áhkku
leat oabbá
leat nissonolmmoš
Danin
dus ballet
go eallin
du bealde
lea
Girdde
don loddi maid leat
Ja luohte don lieđđi leat



Like a rock
like the ocean
like heaven you are
Just as fast
smooth and light
They kept you down for a long time
made you silent
but life itself
was on your side
helped you get up again
Like a flower, you are

The mother tongue sounds in me
through your words,
resonates
with meaning
You are no prisoner
nobody’s servant
You are not just for others
You too deserve consolation
when so much is demanded
of you

Pitiful they call you
when they know
it is honest you are
crimes
are the lies they keep hidden
Mother
sister and woman
they fear you
for they know
you have life on your side



Som en klippe
som hav
som himmel er du
Like fast
smidig og lett
Lenge holdt de deg nede
gjorde deg taus
men livet selv
var på din side
hjalp deg å reise deg igjen
Blomst som du er

Morsmålet klinger i meg
gjennom dine ord
gir gjenklang
og mening
Du er ingen fange
ingens tjener
Du er ikke til bare for andre
Du har også rett til trøst
når så mye er krevd
av deg

Ynkelig kaller de deg
når de vet
det er ærlig du er
Ugjerningene
alle løgnene holder de skjult
Stammor
søster og kvinne
de frykter deg
for de vet
du har livet på din side
Fly
fugl som du er
Stol på at du er en blomst
