Translation of the song lyrics Springa - Ane Brun

Springa (original)

Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet
Springa, våga springa
Genom mörkret in i ljuset
Passa på att leva, ta för dig
Känn att sommaren den är din
Passa på att leva, ta ett steg fram
Eller baklänges om du vill
Passa på att leva, stå mitt i det
Möt upp stormarna med ett skrik
Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet
Springa, våga springa
Genom mörkret in i ljuset
Inte förtvivla, men du kan gråta
Och se att framtiden kan förlåta
Svartmåla inte hela tavlan du fått
Låt andra färger få plats emellanåt
Inte ångra, men du kan lära
Sen går du labyrinten utantill
Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet
Springa, våga springa
Genom mörkret in i ljuset
Springa, våga springa
Över gapet, in i faran
Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet
Springa, våga springa
Genom mörkret in i ljuset
Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet
Springa, våga springa
Genom döden in i livet

Springa (translation)

Run—dare yourself!—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life,
Run—let courage quicken your heels—run,
Thread through the midnight vale toward the birth of light,
Plunder the hour for living; let delight be your spoils,
Sense how this summer, ripe as honey, has chosen you alone,
Plunder the hour for living; now step forward—
Or whirl backward, if longing leans that way,
Plunder the hour for living; stand at its very navel,
Meet the howling squalls with the rawness of your cry,
Run—dare yourself!—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life,
Run—let courage quicken your heels—run,
Thread through the midnight vale toward the birth of light,
Do not despair, though you may weep as rain on granite,
And glimpse that tomorrow’s hand is already poised to pardon,
Do not drown the canvas you’ve been handed in black alone,
Let other pigments wrestle for their place, if only sometimes,
Do not regret, but let each stumble be your tutor,
Then you will pace the labyrinth by heart, its turns familiar as scars,
Run—dare yourself!—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life,
Run—let courage quicken your heels—run,
Thread through the midnight vale toward the birth of light,
Run—dare yourself!—run,
Leap the chasm, let peril make you its guest,
Run—let courage quicken your heels—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life,
Run—dare yourself!—run,
Thread through the midnight vale toward the birth of light,
Run—let courage quicken your heels—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life,
Run—dare yourself!—run,
Through death’s chill corridor, into the antechamber of life
