Kari Rueslatten - 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
