| Hans drøm er god | He is sleeping well |
| i et rom | inside a room, |
| han er en gammel mann. | he is an old man. |
| Rommet er av sten | The room is made of stone |
| som fjerner alle dem. | and keeps away them all. |
| I rommet er lite | There's few in the room |
| som truer ham, | that can menace him, |
| rommet er iskaldt, | the room is ice cold, |
| hans makt er stor. | he is really strong. |
| Det er natt | It's night, and |
| hans hæl er hård | he has an iron heel [1] |
| hans tunge | and his tongue |
| stikker som et kniv. | stings like a knife. |
| Hun | She |
| sitter alene | is alone |
| ser sola våkne. | and sees the sun rise up. |
| Det er dag, | The day has broken, |
| hennes siste dag, | her last day, |
| ungpikehjertet | her young girl's heart |
| slår sine siste | is beating its last |
| tusen slag. | thousand throbs. |
| Nå er Franco død, | Now Franco is dead, |
| kong Carlos sover i hans seng | king Carlos is sleeping in his bed, |
| kong Carlos kropp | king Carlos' body |
| er ung og sterk | is young and strong |
| men i hans årer renner | but what flows in his veins |
| Francos brune blod, | is Franco's brown blood, |
| og ved hans seng | and by his bedside |
| står Francos menn | Franco's men are waking |
| og smiler sine kalde smil. | and have cold smiles. |
| Hun | She |
| var en av mange | was one among the many |
| var en av mange | was one among the many |
| som blei skutt. | who have been shot. |
| Franco drepte dem | Franco used to kill |
| som han var redd for, | those he was afraid of, |
| Franco var redd for | Franco was afraid |
| Spanias folk. | of the Spanish people. |
| Spanias folk | The Spanish people |
| ga aldri opp sin kamp | never gave up struggling |
| mot Francostyrets åpne terror | against the open terror of Franco's regime, |
| og kjemper fortsatt nå idag | and keeps on struggling now |
| for å få fjernet Francos menn | to get rid of Franco's men |
| og knuse dem | and to smash all those |
| som har levd fett | who have been leading a fat life |
| på Spanias folk | on the Spanish people |
| i førti år. | during forty years. |
[1] The Norwegian lyrics say literally: “His heel is hard”, but I couldn't resist reference to Jack London's “Iron Heel” here. |
