| Torka tҐrarna min v¤n
| Wipe my tears my friend
|
| jag tror jag vet ungef¤r hur det k¤nns
| I think I know about how it feels
|
| som att f¶rs¶ka dansa med en myndighet
| like trying to dance with an authority
|
| du ville bara ha ett hem, en plats
| you just wanted a home, a place
|
| nҐnting vettigt att g¶ra, vad som helst
| nothing sensible to do, whatever
|
| det fanns tid f¶r nҐt att v¤xa
| there was time for something to grow
|
| det fanns plats f¶r lite v¤rdighet
| there was room for a little dignity
|
| du har sparkat pҐ i k¶n till ett st¤lle som man inte ens vill in pҐ
| you have kicked in the queue to a place you do not even want to enter
|
| man tuggar i sig hela svansen
| you chew your whole tail
|
| det stҐr alltid nҐt i v¤gen
| there is always something in the way
|
| du tar dig alltid loss och du rusar
| you always get loose and you rush
|
| men ¤ndҐ fҐngar marken dina f¶tter
| but still the ground catches your feet
|
| Jag kan inte hj¤lpa dig upp, kan inte lysa upp den v¤g du springer
| I can not help you up, can not light up the road you run
|
| jag kan inte vagga dig varm och lugn
| I can not rock you warm and calm
|
| du har en annan r¶st, annan f¤rg,
| you have a different voice, a different color,
|
| ett annat land, med andra klockar som ringer
| another country, with other bells ringing
|
| jag tar mig inte in i dina dunkla rum
| I'm not getting into your dark rooms
|
| Det stҐr ett f¤ltslag bakom v¤ggen
| There's a field behind the wall
|
| man slҐr i tomma containrar
| you beat in empty containers
|
| det h¤r ¤r helvetets f¶rgҐrd
| this is the damn thing
|
| i december stҐr man stilla i en tunnel
| in December you stand still in a tunnel
|
| och tr¤ngs, och tr¤ngs
| and crowded, and crowded
|
| och alla bara pratar
| and everyone is just talking
|
| om det bara fanns nҐnting att s¤ga
| if only there was something to say
|
| om det fanns sk¤l att vilja delta
| if there were reasons to want to participate
|
| du ser, jag kan inte ens f¶rmҐ mig att hj¤lpa nҐgon annan
| you see, I can not even help myself to anyone else
|
| det h¤r ¤r be your own star show
| this is your own star show
|
| det h¤r ¤r bit ihop och sparka
| it's bit together and kick
|
| och ge precis vad du beh¶ver och ta vad du kan fҐ
| and give exactly what you need and take what you can get
|
| Jag skulle g¤rna hj¤lpa dig upp och kunna lysa upp den v¤g du springer
| I would love to help you up and be able to light up the path you are running
|
| om jag kunde vagga dig varm och lugn
| if I could rock you warm and calm
|
| jag har nog samma r¶st och bor i samma land
| I probably have the same voice and live in the same country
|
| med samma klockor som ringer
| with the same bells ringing
|
| du gҐr inte ensam genom dunkla rum
| you do not walk alone through dark rooms
|
| Vasen vinglar pҐ bordets kant
| The vase sways on the edge of the table
|
| Ґskan mullrar ovanf¶r ditt tak
| The box rumbles above your roof
|
| uppf¶r ¤r l¤ttare, men nerҐt ¤r det brant
| up is lighter, but down it is steep
|
| kan inte landa d¤r med ryggen rak
| can not land there with his back straight
|
| hornen ryter, du f¶rlorade striden
| the horns roar, you lost the battle
|
| pҐ nolltid har du tappat din gl¶d
| in no time you have lost your glow
|
| det ¤r inget nytt under solen vi har sett hela tiden
| there is nothing new under the sun we have seen all along
|
| den enas br¶d, den andres d¶d
| the bread of one, the death of another
|
| Se pҐ m¤nniskorna som slits f¶r nҐn annans resultat
| Look at the people who are worn out for someone else's results
|
| se hur flugan kv¤vs i spindelns n¤t
| see how the fly suffocates in the spider's net
|
| se pҐ hyenorna som gr¤ver i kadavret efter mat
| look at the hyenas digging in the carcass for food
|
| se pҐ baggen i murkna tr¤d
| look at the ram in the rotten trees
|
| Jag kan inte hj¤lpa dig upp, kan inte lysa upp den v¤g du springer
| I can not help you up, can not light up the road you run
|
| jag kan inte vagga dig varm och lugn
| I can not rock you warm and calm
|
| Vi ¤r vallfҐr i vargarnas tid, och det ¤r gamarnas klockor som ringer
| We are pilgrims in the time of the wolves, and it is the bells of the vultures that ring
|
| inget ljus d¤r vi irrar och springer runt i vҐra dunkla rum
| no light where we wander and run around in our dark rooms
|
| Vi ¤r vallfҐr i vargarnas tid, och det ¤r gamarnas klockor som ringer
| We are pilgrims in the time of the wolves, and it is the bells of the vultures that ring
|
| inget ljust d¤r vi irrar och springer runt i vҐra dunkla rum | no light where we wander and run around in our dark rooms |
