If anyone can translate this from the Norwegian I’d be very happy. Herre i drommen. - Morten Harket. You all know how much I love his voice.

The translation might be: "so everyone got to know your power, lord in the dream" - please correct me if I am wrong!

It probably alludes to god...without actually naming him...yes. Morten Harket does say he believes in god, but he is more of a philosopher and is into his Norwegian folklore and poetry.

Who is the master of the dream
which was thrown into your sea
and formed the most powerful waves
so everyone got to know your power?
Who won the big battle
which was fought deep in your country
between the ego and the people from the eon?
who was victorious in your dream?
I took a dream and ate it up
so now I'm going around with one
dreamy body
I took a dream, killed it
so when do i have a yearning in my soul
You are the master of the dream
which was thrown into my sea
and formed the most powerful waves
to all know your power
You van the big battle
which was fought deep in my country
between the ego and the people from the eon?
you were victorious in my dream
Songwriters: Morten Harket / Ole Olsen / Thomas Tofte / Anders Engen / Geir Sundstoel

Thank you very much...never thought to google it. It probably alludes to god, but that’s okay....it doesn’t mention him by name. I like the tune, and have it on a playlist...I listen to a lot of European music, Scandinavian and Italian mostly. Not understanding the words isn’t a barrier to my enjoyment.

@Marionville now getting the translation is as easy as obtaining a copy of the lyrics in digital form.
