"Gammal kärlek rostar icke." – norskt ordspråk
"Old love doesn't rust." – Norwegian proverb
While it lasts, it will forever grow,
increase more steadfastly in value
than whatever gold mine, diamond lode
or any fortune in the fastest stock,
and all you have to do is to be faithful,
keep in touch, maintain the good relationship
and never let her down. It will reward itself
more affluently than any worldly riches,
for there is no rarer and more precious thing
than friendship that continues constantly
maturing in reliance, confidence and faith
like priceless metal that will never rust.
And there's the secret: love, like everything,
must grow with age to gradually grow old,
but with maturity of lasting age, and the more old it grows,
the less it will be liable to rust,
the surer it will last, – and there's infinity for you.

"Old love doesn't rust." – Norwegian proverb
Golden Friendship
While it lasts, it will forever grow,
increase more steadfastly in value
than whatever gold mine, diamond lode
or any fortune in the fastest stock,
and all you have to do is to be faithful,
keep in touch, maintain the good relationship
and never let her down. It will reward itself
more affluently than any worldly riches,
for there is no rarer and more precious thing
than friendship that continues constantly
maturing in reliance, confidence and faith
like priceless metal that will never rust.
And there's the secret: love, like everything,
must grow with age to gradually grow old,
but with maturity of lasting age, and the more old it grows,
the less it will be liable to rust,
the surer it will last, – and there's infinity for you.
