Så mange kvelder har
So many evenings,
Jeg sett et vakkert par
I've seen a beautiful pair
To kjærester i elskovslys
Two lovers in a light of passion
De hadde sånn en glød omkring seg
They had such a glow around them
Det minnet mest om himmelsk lys
It reminded most of heavenly light
Jeg savner i min nød
I'm missing, in my want,
En varm og kjærlig glød
A warm and loving glow
Den sjansen vil nok aldri bys
The chance may never come around
Et ansikt heslig liksom mitt er
A face as hideous as mine is
Var aldri ment for himmelsk lys
Was never meant for heavenly light
Men jeg har møtt en engel som har smilt til meg
But I have met an angel who smiled at me
Og kysset meg på kinnet uten gny
And kissed me on the cheek without complaint
Beriket føler jeg
Enriched, I feel as if
Hun kanskje liker meg
She might like me
Og mens jeg ringer inn på ny
And as I ring these bells once more
Må tårnets mørke kulde fly
May the tower's darkened cold take flight
For varmen fra et himmelsk lys
In turn of warmth from a heavenly light
