lyrics

Du fámus ii leat ivdni
don leat vilges suola
Na gosa dal dološ olbmuin
logat vilges suola
Don it gažadala
go don han visot dieđat
Mii leat eksotálačča
rivvet alččesat ivdnin

Dus ii ravkke váibmu
don leat vilges suola
Du sánit leat bahččá
ja nu guoktilačča

Alimužži bahkket
earáid ala čuožžut
Badjelgeahččan haksu
dien du fiinna hájas


Your power has no color
you are a white thief
You ask no questions
indeed
you know everything so well
We are exotic
to be stolen for mere decoration

You know no fear
you are a white thief
You speak with a forked tongue
and your words scorch
You fight to reach the heights
building castles on the work of others
The arrogance stinks
through your fine perfume



Din makt har ingen farge
du er en hvit tyv
Til helvete med alt det primitive
sier du
hvite tyv
Du stiller ingen spørsmål
Du har alle svarene sjøl
Vi er eksotiske
og kan stjeles til pynt

Ingenting skremmer deg
du er en hvit tyv
Du snakker med to tunger
og ordene dine svir

Du strever deg opp mot toppen
bygger borg på andres strev
men arrogansen stinker
gjennom din fine parfyme
