Translation of the song lyrics Føtter Pa Fjell - Bjørn Eidsvåg

Føtter Pa Fjell (original)

Jeg var i ferd med å gå under i angst og sjølforakt
— da du fant meg, da du fant meg
Livet var et ork og jeg var i dødens makt
— da du fant meg, da du fant meg
Du hørt mine tause skrik
Du trosset mine mange svik
Du løftet meg opp av fordervelsens grav
Og satte mine føtter på fjell
Du viste meg nåde istedenfor krav
Da fant jeg tilbake til meg selv
Jeg var utslitt av min vakling mellom skyld og sjølforsvar
— da fant du meg…
Jeg trodde jeg var hel, men jeg var et sprukkent kar
— da fant du meg…
Du hørte mine tause skrik
Du trosset mine mange svik

Føtter Pa Fjell (translation)

I was about to perish in anxiety and self-loathing
- when you found me, when you found me
Life was a chore and I was in the power of death
- when you found me, when you found me
You heard my silent screams
You defied my many betrayals
You lifted me up from the grave of perdition
And set my feet on the mountain
You showed me mercy instead of demands
Then I found myself back
I was exhausted by my wavering between guilt and self-defense
- then you found me…
I thought I was whole, but I was a cracked guy
- then you found me…
You heard my silent screams
You defied my many betrayals
