weed, they say

lilac of the ravines and river valleys, I say

weed, they say

smile of the asphalt cracks and concrete walls, I say

weed, they say

dancing gypsies of the floral wreath, I say

weed, they say

four-part song of the goldsmiths, I say

weed, they say

sacred sisters of the sun, I say

weed, they say

dandelion, I say

Norwegian:

Solens hellige søstre

ugress, sier de

ravinenes og bekkedalenes syrin, sier jeg

ugress, sier de

asfaltsprekkenes og betongveggenes smil, sier jeg

ugress, sier de

blomsterkransens dansende sigøynere, sier jeg

ugress, sier de,

gullsmedenes firstemte sang, sier jeg

ugress, sier de

solens hellige søstre, sier jeg

ugress, sier de

løvetann, sier jeg
