Hele Verden Ligger Framfor MegThe entire world is laid out in front of me.
Jeg Sitter Her Og Stirrer Ut Mot DegI’m sitting here, staring out toward you.
Drømte Om En Dag Å Havne HerI dreamed of one day ending up here.
Nå Prøver Jeg Å Finne Ut Hvem Jeg ErNow I’m trying to figure out who I am.
Er Jeg Samme Fyr Som Jeg Var FørAm I the same guy that I was before?
Himmelen Er Mørk Her Hver KveldThe sky is dark here every night,
Men Helt Alene Er Jeg I Meg SelvBut I’m completely alone within myself.
Her Ute I Det Øde Er Det TrygtIt’s safe out here in the emptiness.
Her Kan Jeg Se For Meg Noe NyttHere, I can imagine something new.
Så Helt Alene Her Så Svever JegSo all alone out here, I’m floating,
Oppe På MånenUp on the moon.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
Der Ingen Kan Nå EnWhere no one can reach you.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
Du Skulle Sett Det Her Så Vakkert Så FintYou should’ve seen how beautiful, how lovely it is here,
Du Skulle Vært Her NåYou should be here now.
For Ensomt Her Oppe På MånenIt’s too lonely up here on the moon.
Innimellom All Min KjedsomhetIn the middle of all my boredom,
Glemmer Jeg Min Egen EnsomhetI forget my own loneliness.
Men Klangen Den Blir Lengre For Hver DagBut the echo grows longer with every day.
Stillheten Har Blitt Mitt NabolagThe silence has become my neighborhood.
Med Alle Mine Tanker Svever JegWith all my thoughts, I’m floating,
Oppe På MånenUp on the moon.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
Der Ingen Kan Nå EnWhere no one can reach you.

For Ensomt Her Oppe På MånenIt’s too lonely up here on the moon.
Holder Fast I Alt Jeg SerI’m holding on to everything I see,
Men Jeg Ser Mindre Og MindreBut I’m seeing less and less.
Med Stjernene På Stedet HvilWith the stars standing perfectly still.
Står På Kanten Av Et HoppI’m standing on the edge of a leap,
Og Hvis Du Blikker OppAnd if you glance up,
Ser Du MegYou’ll see me.
Du Finner MegYou’ll find me.
Oppe På MånenUp on the moon.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
Der Ingen Kan Nå EnWhere no one can reach you.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
Oppe På MånenUp on the moon.
Ah Ah AhAh, ah, ah.
