Du bor i forskjellige rom (You live in different rooms)

Du bor i forskjellige rom 
Og flytter mellom dem
Med jevne mellomrom.
Jeg har banket på en dør en hel dag
Bare for å komme inn,
Å finne fram til deg
Da døren var lukket.
Jeg har forskjellige nøkler
Men du skifter lås like ofte
Som du bytter rom.
Jeg puster hardt bare for å holde tritt med deg.
---------------------------------------------- 
(English translation)

You live in different rooms
And move among them
At regular intervals.
I have knocked on one door an entire day
Just to come in and find my way to you
When the door was locked.
I have different keys
But you change the locks as often
As you change rooms.
I breathe hard just to keep up with you.
