Et bilde tå'n Ivers [English translation]

The name was Olsen, he was born in Buran

He travelled out on the sea, for his wife had lured him

When on the move he became a man of the world

but then again he always brought with him:

A picture of Ivers, some kroner from his mum

A map that showed where he came from on Earth

Two lysholmer and an RBK-shirt

That's all you need to do something big

Oddvar Brå was some man (eg. impressive)

We all cried a bit when the victory was clear

During the drug test he was looking forward to the party

but the doctors searched and found:

A picture of Ivers, some kroner from his mum

A map that showed where he came from on Earth

Two lysholmer and an RBK-shirt

That's all you need to do something big

Miss Jensen knocked on heaven's door

On Earth she hadn't accomplished much

But she became happy when Paulus stepped forth

And yelled: Turn away from them

Who had a picture of Ivers, some kroner from his mum

A map that showed where he came from on Earth

Two lysholmer and an RBK-shirt

That's all you need to do something big ..

And the rest of the folk song is now in minor

in pity for Oslo and Tromsø and

Bergen it lies a bit more south

but what are they bringing with them, if we ask:

Beautifully garnished in a folder so fine

a picture of Grieg and Ole Bull with a violin

But they're insecure, we've understood that

for what have they hidden away so well under the duna

A picture of Ivers, some kroner from his mum

A map that showed where he came from on Earth

Two lysholmer and an RBK-shirt

That's all you need to do something big
