Father & Son

  • Papa?

The voice of a small child penetrates the quiet darkness. Father turns to mother.

  • Was that?
  • Yes, it’s him, says mother. Mother and father have just gone to bed and are both still awake.
  • Papa!?

The chil calls again, a little louder this time, and more determined. Mother turns towards the bed side lamp to ease father’s path to the door.

  • He called me this time, you stay, says father, and has reached the door by the time the light comes on. Mom curls back under the duvet and wraps it around her to keep the bed warm for father’s return. She then stays completely still to hear the low voices coming from  the neighbouring room.
  • Papa?
  • Papa’s here
  • Mama?
  • Mama’s asleep
  • Water?
  • Here’s your water. Now take a sip and go back to sleep.

Mother can hear the duvet being wrapped around the wee child.

  • Papa sing
  • You want papa to sing?
  • Yes!

Mother hears the mellow voice sing the child’s favourite lullaby. Son finishes the song by repeating the last words his father sung.

  • There, now you have to sleep.
  • Sing more
  • You want me to sing you another song?
  • Yes!

Another lullaby is sung.

  • There, it’s time to say good night now.
  • Papa?
  • Yes?
  • Hug

 

… and mother feels her heart melt…

Father & Son

  • Pappa?

En spinkel barnestemme høres så vidt gjennom veggen. Far snur seg mot mor.

  • Var det?
  • Ja, det var han, svarer mor. Mor og far har nettopp lagt seg og er begge våkne.
  • Pappa!?

Stemmen høres igjen, klarere denne gang og mer bestemt. Mor snur seg mot lampen for å bedre sikten for far.

  • Ligg du! Han ropte på meg denne gang, sier far, og er ute av rommet nesten før lyset er på. Mor snur seg og brer dynen godt rundt seg for å holde senga varm til far er tilbake. Så blir hun liggende helt stille. Stemmene i naborommet er lave.
  • Pappa?
  • Pappa er her.
  • Mamma?
  • Mamma sover, du må sove du og.
  • Tutt!
  • Tutten er her, og her er vannet ditt. Legg deg fint ned nå og sov.

Mor hører lyden av dyna som krølles godt rundt lillegutt.

  • Pappa synge
  • Skal pappa synge?
  • Ja!
  • Når trollmor har lagt sine elleve små troll, og bundet de fast I halen, da synger hun for sine elleve små troll, de vakreste ord hun kjenner. O ai ai ai ai buff, o ai ai ai ai buff o ai ai ai ai buff buff buff, o ai ai ai ai buff
  • Buff
  • Sånn, da må du sove
  • Synge me
  • Skal jeg synge enda en sang?
  • Ja!

Enda en vuggesang blir sunget med lav og rolig stemme, ellers er huset helt rolig.

  • Sånn, da var det natta, nå må du sove
  • Pappa?
  • Ja?
  • Kos!

Samtidig ligger mor og kjenner hjertet smelte
