Translation of the song lyrics Mens Jeg Sover - Ingrid Olava

Mens Jeg Sover (original)

Tenk en gang var alt jeg ville
At tiden skulle gå
Hver time var så stor og stille
Jeg kunne høre hjertet slå
Jeg kunne høre snøen falle
Over hele vide verden som jeg visste rommet alt
Jeg kan huske at jeg tenkte
Tiden tikker mens jeg sover
Med hodet trygt på puten
Er snart ventetiden over
Vi står der i stjerneskinn
Tenk om tiden holder det den lover
Plutselig er dager korte
Og drømmene så få
At lys som viste vei er borte
Kan noen skru det på
Er jeg blitt voksen nå
Jeg trenger mer enn dette
Det er fortsatt langt å gå
Jeg kan huske at jeg tenkte
Tiden tikker mens jeg sover
Med hodet trygt på puten
Er snart ventetiden over
Vi står der i stjerneskinn
Tenk om tiden holder det den lover
Tiden går og går
Men hvor går jeg
Hva ønsker jeg meg nå
Det eneste jeg vet er sant er deg
Det er alt jeg stoler på
At jeg kan gjøre deg glad
At du er her hos meg er det jeg aller helst vil ha
Jeg kan huske at jeg tenkte
Tiden tikker mens jeg sover
Med hodet trygt på puten
Er snart ventetiden over
Vi står der i stjerneskinn
Tenk om tiden holder det den lover

Mens Jeg Sover (translation)

Think once was all I wanted
That time should pass
Every hour was so big and quiet
I could hear my heart beating
I could hear the snow falling
All over the wide world I knew the room everything
I remember thinking
Time ticks while I sleep
With your head securely on the pillow
The wait is soon over
We stand there in starlight
Think about time keeping its promise
Suddenly days are short
And the dreams so few
That light that showed the way is gone
Can someone turn it on
Have I grown up now
I need more than this
There is still a long way to go
I remember thinking
Time ticks while I sleep
With your head securely on the pillow
The wait is soon over
We stand there in starlight
Think about time keeping its promise
Time goes on and on
But where do I go
What do I want now
The only thing I know is true is you
That's all I trust
That I can make you happy
That you are here with me is what I most want
I remember thinking
Time ticks while I sleep
With your head securely on the pillow
The wait is soon over
We stand there in starlight
Think about time keeping its promise
