The Northwind - Hanne Hukkelberg

The north wind and the sun

Made a bet about getting

The coat off a man

The wind from the north

Lost the bet

The cold north wind blows

Blows forcefully, too strong

We struggle

Through your contrary wind

Your high jinx makes us strive

Even more with our coats

As your sail you try

To blow us away

The cold north wind knows

He blows forcefully

The more the wind blows

The more tightened we’ll be

Isn’t it nice with some warmth?

We only reveal ourselves and

Change ourselves when we’re sheltered

The cold north wind knows

He blows forcefully

The more the wind blows

The more tightened we’ll be

The cold north wind knows

He blows forcefully

The more the wind blows

The more tightened we’ll be

Northwind, northwind

Come when the days are doze

Northwind, northwind

Come when the coat’s on fire

Northwind, northwind

Come when the sun chokes us
