Is there anyone who speaks Norwegian here?

If anyone speaks Norwegian here, I need some help translating a phrase my wife wants to put on a sign for her mother. I don't trust the online automated translators to get it right as there is a small nuance to it. If you speak it, please contact me through forum email. Thanks!
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit

Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain

Ja jeg snakker Norsk. Spørsmålet ditt er.............???
Let me take a whack at it.
How is that for service!

Butchdog2 ich sprechen de kilna bitter Deutsch ... sorry if not right spelling it's been 40 + plus years...
Long time for me to. Can't make out your reply for sure, "I speak a little German" maybe?
Yeah.... German is close-ish to Norwegian, so is Danish and Svenska. So if you can do one, you can sorta fake it with the udders.
I have a buddy who lived there and his wife is actually from there. Shoot me an email and I’ll pass it along.
I grew up with a bunch of Norwegians but all I remember is Uff Da!
This is the definition of Uff da. Now don't you think we need some Ole and Lena jokes?
Ole und Sven die in a tragic snowmobiling accident, and naturally go straight to Hell. The devil watches awhile and sees they are really enjoying themselves. He hisses and says to them 'Doesn't the heat and smoke bother you?' Ole replies 'Vell dontcha know, ve're from da yooper end of Nordland, da land of snow und ice, an ve're yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know.'
The devil decides these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat even more. When he returns, he finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer.
The devil is astonished and says 'Everyone down here is in misery, and you two are enjoying yourselves?' Sven replies 'Vell, dontcha know, ve don't haff too much varm vedder up dere at da yooper end of Nordland, so ve yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da vedder's dis nice.'
The devil is absolutely furious. He makes a decision, the two Norwegian guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives. So he decides to turn off all the heat Hell.
The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, and nobody is able to wail or moan or gnash their teeth. The devil smiles and heads for Ole and Sven's room. He gets there and finds them in their parkas, bomber hats and mittens, yumping up and down, cheering and yelling and slapping each other on da back.
The devil is dumbfounded. 'I don't understand it. When I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?'
Ole und Sven stop yumping fer a minute and look at the devil in surprise. "Vell, dontcha know, if Hell has da ice und snow und is all froze over, dat can only mean vun ting ... it means da Vikings haff vun da Super Bowl!!"
Ole and Lena were grocery shopping and fellow spoke them in the aisle and said “Wow Lady, you are big e’nuf to play for the Green Bay Packers”
Lena blushed and replied “Oooo no, I only play wit Ole’s packer.”
Here you go. You won't need a translation
