Background information about the song:
There is a psychological power struggle between father and daughter. She rattles off doomsday prophecies to her father, while her father complains about his daughter's growing independence. Not only that her personality grows more and more like her mother's, but as she gets older, it also shines through that she has inherited her mother's facial features, and for him, one such smile is enough ...
Far til datter | Father to daughter |
| Kvel din sorg i ei bøtte med vann | Drown your sorrow in a bucket of water |
| og fold dine hender så hardt du kan | and fold your hands as hard as you can |
| Heile havet reiser seg og ser mot land | The entire ocean rises and looks towards the land |
| og mot deg og di borg av sand | and towards you and your castle of sand |
| Far til datter seier, kom til papa kom | Father to daughter says, come to Daddy, come |
| Sett deg på mitt kne og fortell meg om | Sit down on my knee and tell me about |
| når eg ikkje er her, er du ensom? | when I'm not here, are you lonely? |
| Du har arva ditt smil etter di mor, fuck! | You inherited your mother's smile, fuck! |
| Ett sånt smil er nok | One such smile is enough |
