Ved Oasen
Mellom palmene
I en lysning
Der slr me oss ned Og som en gammel venn
Me mter igjen
Et sted
Der elefantene gr te Den lille sonden
Som skte rundt jorden
Tok oss her Elefantenes hemmelige gravpla**
Jesus! Det m vr her! Me lukker yne
Me lukker rene
Nr det nevnes
Tror ingen det Ekspedisjoner
Og alle rikdommer
Blekne her Elefantenes hemmelige gravpla**
Jesus! Det m vr her! Eg hrer det
Du hrer det
Me hrer begge samme sangen Eg ser p deg
Du ser p meg
Og me skjnner begge at det vil forbli en
Hemmelighet Elefantenes hemmelige gravpla**
Jesus! Det m vr her!
[x4] English translation: By the oasis
Between the palms
In an opening
We set up camp And like an old friend we meet again
That place where the elephants go The little probe that searched the earth
Took us here The elephant's secret graveyard!
Jesus! It must be here! We keep eyes shut
We keep ears shut
And when its mentioned
No one wants to see When it was in sight
My heart stopped
That place
Where the elephants go to The elephant's secret graveyard!
Jesus! It must be here! We must walk alone from here
I look at you you look at me
And we both understand
That it will remain a secret The elephant's secret graveyard!
Jesus! It must be here!
