Each line in the original and in English. Translation and romanization by AI, to help you follow the song.

Man snubler i de samme steinene

One stumbles on the same stones

og kaller det erfaring

and calls it experience

Og når man endelig skjønner noe

And when one finally understands something

har livet skiftet retning

life has changed direction

Man strever etter mer

One strives for more

og glemmer det man har

and forgets what one has

Først når noe glipper bort

Only when something slips away

ser man hvor verdifullt det var

does one see how valuable it was

Man jager etter lykken

One chases after happiness

som om den var på salg

as if it were on sale

Og glemmer midt i alt som skjer

And forgets in the midst of everything that happens

at livet aldri følger noen plan

that life never follows a plan

For livet er slik, det må tas godt vare på

Because life is like this, it must be taken good care of

Det går så fort forbi

It passes so quickly

mens man venter på det store

while one waits for the big things

Man må holde fast i øyeblikket mens man har det

One must hold on to the moment while one has it

og være glad for det man fikk

and be happy for what one received

For livet er slik, det må få være som det er

Because life is like this, it must be allowed to be as it is

Ingenting varer evig

Nothing lasts forever

Og kanskje er det nettopp det som gjør det så verdifullt

And perhaps that is precisely what makes it so valuable

at det aldri kommer med noen garanti

that it never comes with any guarantee

For ingen kommer herfra

For no one leaves here

med svar på alt som skjer

with answers to everything that happens

Men kanskje er det nok å leve

But perhaps it is enough to live

og være glad for at man er her

and be glad that one is here

For livet er slik, det må tas godt vare på

Because life is like this, it must be taken good care of

Det går så fort forbi

It passes so quickly

og ingen vet hvor lenge

and no one knows for how long

Så hold fast i alle øyeblikkene mens de finnes

So hold on to all the moments while they exist

og vær glad for det man fikk

and be happy for what one received

For livet er slik, det må få være som det er

Because life is like this, it must be allowed to be as it is

Ingenting varer evig

Nothing lasts forever

Og kanskje er det nettopp det som gjør det så verdifullt

And perhaps that is precisely what makes it so valuable

at det aldri kommer med noen garanti

that it never comes with any guarantee

At det aldri kommer med noen garanti

That it never comes with any guarantee

Ingen garanti ...

No guarantee ...

bare livet som det ble.

just life as it became.
