Eurovision 1988 Norway:
Karoline Krüger - "For vår jord"
For vår jord
Ingen vet hvem hun er
Ingen våger å gå for nær
Der hun står med høye rop
Og store øyne som aldri møter våre
Hun ser inn i glemte land
Man tror hun mangler forstand
Hun er en av de som våker ved flammen (for vår jord)
En av de som holder grenene sammen (for vår jord)
Hun ser at jorden er vår mor
Stå vakt for vår jord
Alle ser en annen vei
Praten stilner, vi veksler blikk og smiler
Hennes skrik er uten hud
Fra jorden bringer hun bud
Hun er en av de som våker ved flammen (for vår jord)
En av de som holder grenene sammen (for vår jord)
Hun er en av de som kaver i strømmen (for vår jord)
En av de som aldri våkner av drømmen (for vår jord)
Hun ser at jorden er vår mor
(Stå vakt) og la flammen få brenne
(Stå vakt) samme hva ѕom vil hende
(Stå vakt) Stå vаkt for vår jord
For our earth
No one knows who she is
No one dares to go too close
Where she stands with loud cries
And large eyes that never meet ours
She looks into forgotten lands
People believe she has lost her mind
She is among those guarding the flame (for our earth)
One of those keeping the branches together (for our earth)
She sees that the earth is our mother
Stand guard, for our earth
Everyone looks in another direction
The chattering dies out, we exchange glances and smile
Her screams are without skin
She carries a message from the earth
She is among those guarding the flame (for our earth)
One of those keeping the branches together (for our earth)
She is among those struggling in the current (for our earth)
One of those who never wake from the dream (for our earth)
She sees that the earth is our mother
(Stand guard) and let the flame burn
(Stand guard) no matter what happenѕ
(Stand guard) For our eаrth
Child of Earth
Who she is – no one knows
No one dares to come too close
As she stands and cries out loud
Staring wide-eyed, as if she sees right through you
She sees a world that lies behind
They say she's out of her mind
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of Earth)
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of Earth)
She sees the world for all its worth
Take care of Mother Earth
We all turn and look away
We talk in whispers, exchange embarrassed glances
She's defenseless as a child
A messenger from the wild
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of Earth)
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of Earth)
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of Earth)
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of Earth)
She sees the world for all itѕ worth
(Take care) and let the fire keep burning
(Take care) Let the wheel keep on turning
(Take care) Take care of Mother Eаrth
