Eine Liebe, die ein Leben lang hält, vom ersten Sturm in der Jugend bis ins hohe Alter.

Ich bin völlig unromantisch (und unsensibel) - sagt jedenfalls meine Frau. Dennoch hat mir die Musik von Svein Jønland sehr gefallen, und ich habe mir richtig Mühe gegeben mit dem Text, den er später etwas angepasst hat, um ihn besser singen zu können. Das Ergebnis:

Mein Originaltext:

the first primroses blooming
and the air smells of promise -
it's spring time
I walk in my garden
and I dream of my first love -
so sublime
my first time
love so sublime -
my own spring time

the jonquils and the tulips
soon will be in full flower -
beauty shared
I dream in my garden
thinking of our affection
love declared
our passion shared
love declared
our passion shared

and now I
am standing in the sun
and feel blessed with my garden of bliss
like my plants
I revel in the sun
I dance, and I marvel at this
place of rest
isle of love
my world of bliss

when the honeysuckle's blooming
shedding its pleasant fragrance
as its lure
I breathe in quite deeply
think of our devotion
and that you're
my sweet lure
oh yes, that you're
my lovely lure

in my sweet-scented roses
that are blooming in abundance
I take pride
they stand for our loving,
for a life that we're sharing
side by side
you are the pride
by my side
you are my pride

and now I
am standing in the rain
and feel blessed with my garden of bliss
like my plants
I revel in the rain
I dance, and I marvel at this
place of rest
isle of love
my world of bliss

the chrysanthemum flowers
mark the end of the season -
it is true
I think of the years
of our past, and the future
shared with you
I will be true
true to you
I will be true

and now I
am standing in the rain
and feel blessed with my garden of bliss
like my plants
I revel in the rain
I dance, and I marvel at this
place of rest
isle of love
my world of bliss

and now I
am standing in the sun
and feel blessed with my garden of bliss
like my plants
I revel in the sun
I dance, and I marvel at this
place of rest
isle of love
my world of bliss
