Gender-neutral lyrics in Norwegian song "Danse mot vår"?

When my dad died in November 2010 we sent the funeral home some photos for them to make a memorial video for the wake. It was only last weekend that I discovered that all of the music they added came from Secret Garden's debut CD, "Songs from a Secret Garden". One of these songs, "Serenade to Spring", was originally done as a vocal tune called "Danse mot vår"

As a solo musician, my goal is to expose the North American public to a wide variety of music from all over the world, in their original languages whenever possible, and I'd like to add "Danse mot vår" to my vocal repertoire. Simplified to their structural essence, the Norwegian lyrics go like this:

Gjennom regnbuens glans

Ser jeg himmel og hav

Smelte sammen i soloppgang.

Og mens tankene flyr

Vákner sanser til liv

Og jorden nynner sin egen sang.

Jeg vil danse mot vår

Kjenne hud møte hud,

være ung i et nyfødt år.

Kjenne liv i min kropp

Fra en sol som står opp

Være ung--jeg vil danse mot vår!

I en blomstrende eng

Vil jeg vandre avsted

Og la sansene finne vei

Jeg har vårkjolen på

Vinden stryker meg nå

Jeg byr deg en vals, kom og dans’ med meg

I recently saw a YouTube video of Elisabeth Andreasson performing the song, which included a subtitled translation of the lyrics. I don't know if the funeral home knew about the lyrics, but I see them collectively as a beautiful metaphor for the transition from one form of life to the next--i.e. the body may die, but the soul is eternal. So I think this would be a great addition to my vocal repertoire: not only would it add to my multilingual repertoire, but it would be, in a way, honoring my dad as well.

However, there's one snag, and it arises from the "vårkjolen" (spring-dress) reference. This reference, along with the lyrics as a whole, lead me to speculate that the primary character/narrator in the song might be a personification of Mother Nature, and so I'm not going to be comfortable doing the song if it turns out it can only be done from a feminine perspective (for example, I cringe every time I hear Kate Bush doing Elton John's "Rocket Man", particularly the "miss my wife" line).

So my question basically is: Does the "vårkjolen" line need to be adapted for a masculine perspective (and if so, how), or can the "kjolen" element of the word be understood to mean "dress" in the sense of clothing in general?
