Javkkadan mu jurdagiid
Okta jurdda boahtteaigai
Dovddan imas famuid
Go leat das
Go don leat das
Njuovzilit don dansejit
In fuomasan goassege dan
Beaivecuovggas jallas sagaid muitalit
Varre coga alde cuoccun
Skuohtu cada mu calmmit aicet du
Go mun lean
Mun lean odda superman
Mu famut bohtet go mun oainnan du uuu uuu
Du uuu uuu
Suorpmat givardit go aimmu iskkadit
Salastit du aigumiid
Sahkkisvuohta boahta cada
Sikkun amas bahaid
Go it leat das
Go it lea das
Geahppasit mun lihkadan
Cadacuovggi almmis ciehkadan
Bajabealde balvvat jaska leat
Dego njuolla boadan vulos gadjut du
Varrecoga alde cuoccun
Skuohtu cada mu calmmit aicet du
Go mun lean
Mun lean odda superman
Mu famut bohtet go mun oainnan du uuu uuu
Du uuu uuu
Varrecoga alde cuoccun
Skuohtu cada mu calmmit aicet du (aicet du)
Go mun lean mun lean odda superman
Mu famut bohtet go mun oainnan du uuu uuu
Du uuu uuu
The lyrics of Felgen Orkester's song "Superman" are in Sámi language, and talk about the inner strength of the singer. The opening lines, "Lokten giedaid dovddan liegga jiela / Javkkadan mu jurdagiid / Okta jurdda boahtteaigai / Dovddan imas famuid" can be translated to "The woods are full of a calm and deep feeling / Straight into my heart / One feeling approached me / I am filled with calmness". The singer talks about finding peace in nature and feeling a connection with it.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about being strong and capable, stating "Go mun lean / Mun lean odda superman / Mu famut bohtet go mun oainnan du", which means "Because I am / I am Superman / My wings will carry me wherever I want to go". This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer embracing their inner strength and being confident in their abilities.
The song ends with the repetition of "Varrecoga alde cuoccun / Skuohtu cada mu calmmit aicet du / Go mun lean / Mun lean odda superman / Mu famut bohtet go mun oainnan du uuu uuu / Du uuu uuu", which means "The reindeer is grazing on the other side / I hear it from afar / Because I am / I am Superman / My wings will carry me wherever I want to go". This repetition emphasizes the singer's conviction in their abilities and their connection with nature.
