Translation of the song lyrics Man Skal Dø Lidt (Før Man Finder Vej) - Chief 1

Man Skal Dø Lidt (Før Man Finder Vej) (original)

Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For kærligheden venter altid på dig
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For man ska' dø lidt, før man finder vej
Hvor går man han, når alle døre de' lukket?
Hvor ser man klart, når alle lysene er slukket?
Føler ikk', smiler ikk', ser ikk' farverne
Sanser ikk', standser ikk', går op og ned ad gaderne
Hvor længe skal det blive ved?
Holder ikk' uendeligt
Banker løs på en sjæl og føler mig ukendelig
Og jeg hører ikke hjemme her (dæmonerne kalder mit navn)
Men mange år har sat sine spor på ham her (engle skriger mit savn)
Kilometer efter kilometer har jeg vandret
Været på det samme sted, mens alt er forandret
Du siger, jeg bli’r okay, og jeg nok ska' komme over
Men lige nu ved jeg knap nok, om jeg' vågen eller sover
Drømme ta’r dig op, men uden søvn er det svært
Banker hovedet op mod himlen, søger efter svar
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For kærligheden venter altid på dig
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For man ska' dø lidt, før man finder vej
For når du først har ramt bunden, er det svært at komme op
For du ligger, som du har redt og ka' ikk' mærke din krop
Og tænker, jeg hører ikk' hjemme her (dæmonerne kalder mit navn)
Men mange, mange år har sat sine spor på ham her, ja, ham her
Immun i for mange år, lim i mine åbne sår
En nedgående spiral, som man ikk' forstår
Før man står i kviksand til ørene
Bind for sine øjne, og på dybt vand
En syg mand, og slet ikk' kørende
Ved godt, hvad, der galt, og hvad, jeg skal rette
Men forvandling er en handling, der' så fucking svær at starte
Helt alene med et sind så ulideligt
Står her med et liv og overvejer det
Men jeg ved, der' et lys, og natten står på hæld
Ska' bare lære at være alene, være mig selv
Ja, der' en åbning langt ude i horisonten
Og jeg ved, at hun venter på mig et sted
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For kærligheden venter altid på dig
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For man ska' dø lidt, før man finder vej
Kærligheden venter altid på dig
Kærligheden venter altid på dig
Kærligheden venter altid på dig
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For kærligheden venter altid på dig
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Nej, verden er i farver, du må ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
For man ska' dø lidt, før man finder vej
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op
Ikk' gi' slip, ikk' gi' slip
Ikk' gi' op, ikk' gi' op

Man Skal Dø Lidt (Før Man Finder Vej) (translation)

Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because love is always waiting for you
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because you have to die a little before you find your way
Where does he go when all the doors are closed?
Where do you see clearly when all the lights are off?
Don't feel, don't smile, don't see the colors
Sensing ikk', stopping ikk', walking up and down the streets
How long will it last?
Does not last indefinitely
Knocking loose on a soul and feeling unrecognizable
And I don't belong here (the demons are calling my name)
But many years have left their mark on him here (angels scream my miss)
Kilometer after kilometer I have walked
Been in the same place while everything has changed
You say I'll be okay, and I'll get over it
But right now I barely know whether I'm awake or asleep
Dreams lift you up, but without sleep it's hard
Banging head up to the sky, searching for answers
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because love is always waiting for you
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because you have to die a little before you find your way
Because once you hit rock bottom, it's hard to come up
Because you're lying down like you've been riding and you can't feel your body
And thinking, I don't belong here (the demons are calling my name)
But many, many years have left their mark on him here, yes, him here
Immune for too many years, glue in my open wounds
A downward spiral that you don't understand
Before standing in quicksand up to the ears
Blindfolded, and in deep water
A sick man, and not driving at all
Know what went wrong and what to fix
But transformation is an act that's so fucking hard to start
All alone with a mind so unbearable
Standing here with a life and considering it
But I know there's a light and the night is coming
Just learn to be alone, be myself
Yes, there's an opening far out on the horizon
And I know that she is waiting for me somewhere
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because love is always waiting for you
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because you have to die a little before you find your way
Love is always waiting for you
Love is always waiting for you
Love is always waiting for you
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because love is always waiting for you
Don't give up, don't give up
No, the world is in colors, you mustn't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Because you have to die a little before you find your way
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't give up, don't give up
