VI
В.О.М. XXIII Lyrics

Han kjæm inn over Svinesund med trailern nesten tom
He enters over Svinesund with an almost empty trailer

Og han kjenne at han skulla hatt en blund
And he feels like he should have slept a little

Siste stoppen var I Hamburg, mens dæm lasta om
The last stop was in Hamburg while they loaded up

Og en kaffekopp da han kryssa Öresund
And a cup of coffee as he crossed the Öresund

Han tar sjansen på at UP har avspasert I kveld
He takes the chance that the traffic police have taken the night off

Han må opp te Bodø før det e for seint
He needs to get to Bodø before it's too late

Gjennom Østfold bruke han gasspedal'n
He uses his gas pedal through Østfold

Som e det liv det gjeld
Where his life depends on it

Det han kjøre mot e no som itj kan vent
What he is driving towards cannot wait

Han kjøre E6, den strakast vei'n
He drives on the E6, the straightest road

Kanskje ligg det no'n I arman hennes no
Maybe someone is lying in her arms now

E6, han må itj bli for sein
He must not be too late on the E6

Kanskje kjenne no'n varmen hennes no
Maybe feeling someone's warmth now

På et langstrekk langsmed Mjøsa
On a long stretch along Mjøsa

Gi ein kollega et signal
He signals to a colleague

Så han slakke av når han veit kor radarn stå r
So he slows down when he knows where the radar is

Gjennom Drivdalen e det veiarbeid
There's roadwork through Drivdalen

Så vei'n e litt for smal
So the road is a little narrow

Han e nesten uti elva, men det går
He is almost in the river, but he makes it through

På ei veikro nordom Stjørdalen
At a roadhouse north of Stjørdalen

Med hår som bynne grån'
With hair starting to turn gray

Sett en som ska te Skibotn som emmisær
He saw someone heading to Skibotn as an emissary

Det e trivelig å prat litt, men te Bodø må'n
It's nice to chat a little, but he has to get to Bodø

Sjøl om Jesus kjæm og dommedag e nær
Even if Jesus is coming and doomsday is near

Det e kuling over Saltfjellet
There's a gale over Saltfjellet

Men den legg sæ for ei stund
But it will calm down for a while

Så dæm slepp å kjør kolonne gjennom snø'n
So they don't have to drive in a convoy through the snow

Kanskje var det emmisæren som fikk ei hjelpanes hand
Maybe it was the emissary who got a helping hand

Når dem kjem te Fauske vinke dæm adjø
When they come to Fauske, they wave goodbye

Siste biten inn te Bodø må han gi litt ekstra gass
He needs to give a little extra gas for the last stretch into Bodø

Og no merke han at han plutselig e pigg
And now he realizes he is suddenly alert

Attmed Sentralsykehuset finn han parkeringsplass
He finds a parking space next to the central hospital

Og går mot fødestua, der han veit ho ligg
And walks towards the maternity ward, where he knows she is
