Norwegian term or phrase: Hvor flott det er i himmelen
Hvor flott det er i himmelen
Kroner på hodet
Kledd i hvite kapper

I think, I know lines 2+3:

Crown on the head,
Clad in white (clothes?)

But line 1?

"Where float this is in heavens"
Sorry for stupid questions, but I need your help.

English translation:How glorious it is in Heaven
Explanation:
"Flott" means "splendid", "grand", "magnificent", etc. "Glorious" is perhaps what is most appropriate here.

"Kapper" is probably best translated as "gowns" here.
