Е plutselig va huset ut'n tak
Hжst е ku flaug igjжnnom lufta, forsikringspжngan fordufta
Det var livlig her pе еrets fшrste dag!
Eit grantre flaug ferbi mж е det slo sж aildri ned.
Fire trusa е eit gebiss sеg ж for.
Eit gammelt feskebruk det sto е skalv е villa itj vжare med.
Det smalt I lause teinner, knuste vindu brжkte heinner,
Е plutselig va huset ut'n tak
Hжst е ku flaug igjжnnom lufta, forsikringspжngan fordufta
Det var livlig her pе еrets fшrste dag
Ei melkerampe dainsa med ein moped е ein ljе,
Fшrti tusen laks kom flygan inn pе land.
Fжmti tusen sa no eiarn mens hain dukka ferr ein sjark.
Som kom virvlan gjжnnom lufta е forsvainn.
Ei gammel feide vart kort og godt grжvd ned,
Е nеn nye dukka plutselig opp.
Ein forsikringsagent emigrert te utlandet eit sted.
Det e vel sekkert det lurast hain hadd gjort.
Alt ska erstattes sa eit slips med mainn oppi,
Mens blikke vingla е hain vrei sж som ein orm.
Takstmainn leita hшgt е lavt е ka trur du at hain sa.
Det hadd vжrt likar vess det brainn е itj va storm.
Sе moralen dein e klar, fшlg med vжret mor е far.
Е vesst storm og orkan nжrme sж pе nytt.
Da tar du bensinkanna frжm е tenne pе ditt hjжm.
Dж vil pжngan kom е du vil itj bli snytt.
Det smalt I lause teinner, knuste vindu brжkte heinner,
Е plutselig va huset ut'n tak
Hжst е ku flaug igjжnnom lufta, forsikringspжngan fordufta
Det var livlig her pе еrets fшrste dag
The song "Stormen" by Åge Aleksandersen tells a story of a storm, specifically on the first day of the year, which caused destruction and chaos. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of loose tiles, crushed windows, and a house without a roof. The storm blew away a cow and destroyed the insurance company's premiums. The imagery of a flying pine tree and a denture on the ground painted a chaotic picture in the listener's mind. The storm caused forty thousand salmon to fly onto the shore and be captured while the owner of the five thousand salmon drowned in the ocean.
