Outside the wind is blowing cold on my cheek
I'm not letting him in
I yell at him - “go away now, you wind”
The old tree is waving like if it had been drinking brandy
Soon it'll be wood in my fireplace take out my saw and saw all I can
‘Cause no one dances waltz like old Egil Ei,
No one dances waltz like old Egil Ei
The moon is hanging low and he
mirrors himself in a glass of water
Do not discuss with him
He is so superficial it's a shame about him
I threaten him with a fist and with a
bunch of words I believe he doesn't know
That man is not genuine I wonder how he can float in that condition
I can note down another stormy evening
For the weather as well as for my part
Because the floor has become my partner
We dance a stormy waltz
and I am faithful to your neck
My house stands crooked
The horizon is not where it used to be
Exactly as I said,
It all is tilting a little to the left
I don't know where it's going
Don't call the ambulance
if I should fall down a few stairs
As soon as I get the chance
I'll take a grip and find back the balance
‘Cause no one dances waltz like old Egil Ei,
No one dances waltz like old Egil Ei
But first must I have a little one in my left foot
‘Else it'll only become a mess
And should you feel like raising a glass
then I will not oppose
And the wind still rages.
He's darned tonight
And the rain came down in stern torrents
And I sit here and try to forget
I can note down another stormy evening
For the weather as well as for my part
Because the floor has become my partner
We dance a stormy waltz
and I am faithful to your neck
