Lyrics of Stort liv - Lars Winnerbäck, Hovet

Stort liv (original)

Solen gҐr upp ¶ver kҐk och gr¤nd
VҐren ¤r ung och oanv¤nd
SҐngen ekar frҐn himmelen s¤nd
Det ¤r ett stort liv
Jag har sett hur du k¤mpar f¶r att ta dig loss
Hur r¶sten manar: StҐ upp och slҐss
Hur dumheten sprakar med tomtebloss
Hur den fadda massan skriker: Kom med oss
Det ¤r ett tufft liv
Min ungdom kommer aldrig igen
Jag har sҐ mycket f¶rstҐnd att f¶rlora ¤n
SҐ jag lovar dig inget, min k¤raste v¤n
Det ¤r ett kort liv
Jag f¶rstod nog aldrig vad dom sa till mig
N¤r jag satt i dom b¤nkarna man bildar sig
Jag har gҐtt dom v¤gar ingen visat mig
Det ¤r ett h¶gt liv
Jag reste iv¤g f¶r att fҐ nҐnting gjort
Jag trodde sporren fanns pҐ annan ort
Men deras klockor gick lika fort
Det ¤r ett snabbt liv
Jag satt i en bar lҐngt v¤sterut
D¤r jag k¤nner mig hemma och jag vart f¶rut
PҐ TV: n visade man ett lyckligt slut
och allt sҐg pl¶tsligt lite b¤ttre ut
Det ¤r ett gott liv
Jag gick pҐ en gata mot ett ¤ventyr
D¤r spriten var billig men fyllan dyr
Man fattar l¤tt varf¶r m¤nskor flyr
Det ¤r ett hҐrt liv
Jag satt pҐ ett m¶te bland viktiga m¤n
Dom sa: Du har inte hittat din marknad ¤n
men skriv pҐ f¶r oss sҐ kan vi snacka sen
Jag gick min v¤g och kom aldrig igen
Det ¤r ett fritt liv
Jag tog mig upp pҐ ett skyh¶gt berg
Jag trodde livet skulle byta f¤rg
Men svindeln sk¤lvde genom ben och m¤rg
Det ¤r ett farligt liv
Jag satt pҐ en brygga lҐngt hemifrҐn
MҐnen lyste ¶ver silverstrҐn
Maria var naken och klev ner i Ґn
Det ¤r det jag har fҐtt mina dr¶mmar frҐn
Det ¤r ett sk¶nt liv
Jag satsade allt pҐ d¶d mans hand
Jag dr¶mde om en suite pҐ Grand
Jag hamnade i en etta i andra hand
sҐ jag satsade den med, f¶r jag fick blodad tand
Det ¤r ett dj¤rvt liv
Jag kl¤ttrade ner i en bottenl¶s brunn
Du ska vara med om allt f¶r att fҐ mҐl i mun
Djupet ¤r vackert men gr¤nsen tunn
Det ¤r ett svҐrt liv
Men solen gҐr upp ¶ver kҐk och gr¤nd
VҐren ¤r ung och oanv¤nd
SҐngen ekar frҐn himmelen s¤nd
Det ¤r ett stort liv
Det ¤r ett stort liv
Det ¤r ett stort liv
Det ¤r ett stort liv…

(translation)

The sun rises over the kitchen and alley
Ours is young and unused
The song echoes from heaven
It's a big life
I've seen you struggle to break free
How the voice urges: Get up and fight
How stupidity crackles with sparklers
How the fat mass shouts: Come with us
It's a tough life
My youth will never come again
I have so much sense to lose than that
So I promise you nothing, my dear friend
It's a short life
I probably never understood what they said to me
When I sat in the benches you form
I've gone those ways no one showed me
It's a high life
I left because something was done
I thought the spur was in another place
But their watches went just as fast
It's a fast life
I was sitting in a bar far to the west
Where I feel at home and I was gone
On TV, they showed a happy ending
and everything suddenly looked a little better
It's a good life
I was walking down a street on an adventure
Where spirits were cheap but filling expensive
It's easy to understand why people flee
It's a hard life
I was sitting in a meeting with important men
They said: You have not found your market yet
but write for us so we can talk later
I went my way and never came again
It's a free life
I climbed a soaring mountain
I thought life would change color
But the dizziness shook through bones and marrow
It's a dangerous life
I was sitting on a jetty far from home
The moon shone over silver rays
Maria was naked and stepped into the river
That's what I've got my dreams from
It's a beautiful life
I bet everything on the dead man's hand
I dreamed of a suite at the Grand
I ended up in a one in the second hand
so I bet it, because I got a bleeding tooth
It's a bold life
I climbed into a bottomless well
You have to be part of everything to get goals in your mouth
The depth is beautiful but the border is thin
It's a difficult life
But the sun rises over the kitchen and alley
Ours is young and unused
The song echoes from heaven
It's a big life
It's a big life
It's a big life
It's a big life…
