No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission
No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken
No flowers on the alter
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No bible oath to swear
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken |

Nei, ingen stat har gjeve oss eit l¿yve
Og ikkje er vi vigde framfor presten
Familieband har aldri skapt oss to
Og ingen har fŒtt vederlag for festen
Inga gjeld vart l¿yst ut, inga medgift
Ingen kamp om land og makt er slagen
Ingen narr stŒr ute i si verd
og kastar skuggar over denne dagen.
Det l¿ynde bandets eid fŒr ingen vite
Det l¿ynde truskaps band kan aldri slite.
Ingen altarblomar
Ingen kvite sjal
Ingen brudepike
Ingen katedral
Det l¿ynde bandets eid fŒr ingen vite
Det l¿ynde truskaps band kan aldri slite. |
