(English text after the Norwegian text).
Hun tar sine siste skritt.
Her hun kaller sitt hjem.
Hun snur seg og ser sine egne fotspor.
Hun var ikke klar over at de så slik ut.
Hun opplever at den ene foten skiller seg ut fra den andre.
Det er som hennes fotspor prøver å si henne noe.
Hennes fotspor er overalt på dette stedet.
Så mye følelser.
Hun ønsker bare å viske de bort.
Hun skal snart ut på en reise.
En reise der hun skal farge alle farger i regnbuen, i vinden og på sine vinger.
Hun ser for seg en hvit sommerfugl.
Flyr igjennom kraftig motvind.
Faller.
Ligger livløs på bakken.
Hun stryker den varsomt.
Hun ser et lite sår i den skjøre kroppen.
Det vil alltid bli et arr.
Hun løfter den opp mot himmelen.
Håper den er sterk nok til å fly.
Sommerfuglens følehorn beveger seg opp og ned.
Retter litt på vingene sine.
Løfter seg opp og flyr.
Langt borte i horisonten er den bare en svart prikk.
I hånden hennes ligger sommerfuglens avtrykk igjen.
Sommerfuglens støv skinner som glitter i hennes hånd i alle mulige farger.
Så den hvite sommerfuglen var ikke helt hvit alikevel…
Den gjemte bare sin skjønnhet.
Kanskje en dag alle ser hvor vakker den fargeløse og hvite sommerfuglen er…

Colorless:
She takes her final steps.
Here she calls her home.
She turns around and sees her own footsteps.
She didn’t realize they looked like this.
She feels that one foot stands out from the other.
It’s like her footsteps trying to tell her something.
Her footsteps are everywhere in this place.
So much emotion.
She just wants to wipe them away.
She will soon be on a journey.
A journey where she will color all colors in the rainbow,
in the wind and in her colorless wings.
She envisions a white butterfly.
Feeling through heavy headwinds.
Fall.
Lives lifeless on the ground.
She strokes it gently.
She sees a small wound in the fragile body.
It will always be a scar.
She lifts it up to the sky.
Hope it is strong enough to fly.
The butterfly’s feelings move up and down.
Turns its wings slightly.
Raises up and flies.
Long away from the horizon it is just a black shadow.
In her hand, the butterfly’s imprint is again.
Dust shines like glitter in her hand,
in all possible colors.
So the white colorless butterfly was not quite white anyway …
It just hid its beauty.
Maybe someday everyone sees how
beautiful the colorless and white butterfly is …
