Te den legg sæ uti havet et sted
E den tida den e her selve livet
Å det e det vi ska jørra nå med
No når det e storm ut-over ruta
Ja det blæs inni fra havet i vest
Men æ veit det vil bli solskinn imårra
Vers2.
Ja det kommer fra langt bakom skogan
Kommer fra uti verden et sted
Gjemem sæ langt inni byan
Der menneske skjelden får fred
Ref.
No når det e storm utover ruta
Ja det blæs inni fra havet i vest
Men æ veit det vil bli solskinn imårra
Så av å te e støggvær best
Vers3.
Ifra sol står opp over Tustna
Te den lægg sæ utia havet bakom Grip
E den tida den e her selve livet
Å det e da vi har nåkka å si
Ref.
No når det e storm utover ruta
Ja det blæs inni fra havet i vest
Men æ veit det vil bli solskinn imårra
Så av å te e støggvær best
Æ sa av å te e støggvære best
The lyrics of Elg's song "Storm" depict the resilience and hope of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The song starts by describing the sun setting behind the mountains and the transition to the time of storms when the wind blows from the west, causing rough seas. Despite the uncertainty and danger that comes with storms, there is an optimism that things will get better. In the second verse, Elg suggests that the storm is not just physical, but also metaphorical, representing the struggles people face in life that they cannot control. The storm comes from far away and hides in the city where people rarely find peace.
However, Elg suggests that despite the difficulties of the storm, there is always hope. The storm will pass, and the sun will shine again tomorrow. The third verse situates the storm in a specific location, mentioning Tustna and Grip, two islands in Norway. They represent specific places, but also a universal experience. Life has its beautiful moments like the sunrise, and its difficult moments like the storm. Therefore, people should take comfort in the knowledge that difficult times will not last forever, and that there's always hope for a better tomorrow.
Overall, "Storm" is a song that highlights the importance of resilience and hope in the face of challenges. Using the metaphor of a storm, the song encourages listeners to believe in a brighter tomorrow.
