Joisin viskin ja nousisin [English translation]

If I could sometime be like him who I love

If I could drive trough Norway without a license

If I could sleep with the doors open

wake up in the haven

I would laugh at books that you should know by heart

I would look at the open sea without a pen and paper

I would shout from a treetop

lose my paycheck

If I could sometime be like him

I would drink my whisky and rise to stand on my hands in the stairs

I would show off my bruises to you

If I could sometime be like him who I love

If I could sit through the night without saying a thing

If I could hit those who bully the little ones

If I could sometime be like him

I would drink my whisky and rise to stand on my hands in the stairs

I would show my off my bruises to you

I would feel the rain and iron on the balcony in the mornings

If I could sometime be like him

If I could sometime be like him who I love

If I could drive through Norway without a license

I would feel the warmth in the ends of the day

If I could sometime be like him

If I could sometime be like him
