Skogens Kjole (translation)

I wove in silence and I wove in song

in my house far up north

With a garden of wildness and merry sound

spun I my words

I listened to the wind and guided my thread,

with a needle from the rainbow's hand

And finally when I stood there with the gown on,

I was lifted by the forest's spirit.

And if you come by my house some time

You shall hear me singing your song

And you know you've got a place to go

When you're wearing the forest's gown

I wear my gown with pride and joy,

and I feel I am free

And when I listen to the sound of raindrops,

I wish it were we

Who danced in joy out there in the blue,

even though the rain poured down

We are one and the same wearing the forest's gown,

and I think that's clear for all to see.

And if you come by my house some time

You shall hear me singing my song

And you know you've got a place to go

When you're wearing the forest's gown

And if you come by my house some time

You'll hear me singing your song

You'll know you've got a place to go

When you're wearing the forest's gown
