Lille Tone Godtegryn

Lille Tone godtegryn

gikk en liten tur i by'n.

Der hos kjøpmann Hips-om-haps

fikk hun rips og drops og graps.

Lill Tone spiste - vips! -

Både graps og drops og rips.

Nå er Tone helt til topps 

full av rips og graps og drops.

Shadows

The shadows are always calling my name.

Sometimes it’s a whisper, sometime it’s shouting, but the message it’s the same.

The shadows left a hole in me nothing can repair.

I’m bound to live my life with a never-ending fear.

The shadows they are calling me both night and day.

Hoping I'll return to hem, hoping I'll stray.

Daylight holds no joy for me, because I'll always have to be prepared.

When the sun goes down, and nighttime comes, there are shadows everywhere
