Lyrics of Henda i været - No. 4

Henda i været (original)

Det skulle vært mørkt og passe kaldt
Jeg skulle vært alene
På vei ned til livet og dere
Det skulle vært som i en film med tomme gater uten folk i
Helt til jeg kom fram til døra jeg skulle inn i
Det var der og bare der man skulle være
Kjente og fjerne og kjære
Snille og slemme og kule og sære
Samma hvem du er, man er hjemme der
Der tiden står stille hvis du vil det
Der alt er bedre med litt promille
Der ingenting er ille
Det skulle vært for mange der, for høylydt, for mye klær
Jeg skulle lukket øynene, stoppet opp og blitt der
Jeg skulle løftet henda i været, vært fri
Sluppet alt jeg lever i
Jeg skulle stått med henda i været, vært fri
Og blitt stående for alltid
Det skulle vært vondt, skulle vært sant, skulle vært rent, det skulle vært bra
Det skulle ikke bli sent, det skulle bli en ny dag
Hodet skulle flyttet seg vekk fra meg
Og hjertet skulle banket i takt med alle andres
Det skulle ikke finnes tanker igjen
Jeg skulle vært nær alle andre der
Jeg skulle vært den som nekter å gå selv om lyset slås på
Sistemann ut, sistemann hjem, men førstemann ut igjen
Jeg skulle stått med henda i været, vært fri
Sluppet alt jeg lever i
Jeg skulle stått med henda i været, vært fri
Og blitt stående for alltid
Jeg skulle stått med henda i været, vært fri
Sluppet alt jeg lever i
Jeg skulle stått med henda i været, vært fri
Og blitt stående for alltid

(translation)

It was supposed to be dark and quite cold
I should have been alone
On the way down to life and you
It should be like in a movie with empty streets with no people in them
Until I reached the door I was going to enter
It was there and only where one was supposed to be
Familiar and distant and dear
Kind and naughty and cool and quirky
No matter who you are, you are at home there
Where time stands still if you want it to
Where everything is better with a little alcohol
Where nothing is bad
There would have been too many people there, too loud, too many clothes
I was going to close my eyes, stop and stay there
I should have raised my hands in the air, been free
Let go of everything I live in
I should have stood with my hands in the air, been free
And remained forever
It was supposed to hurt, it was supposed to be true, it was supposed to be clean, it was supposed to be good
It wasn't going to be late, it was going to be a new day
The head should have moved away from me
And the heart should beat in time with everyone else's
There were to be no tanks left
I should have been close to everyone else there
I should be the one who refuses to go even if the light turns on
Baseman out, baseman home, but firstman out again
I should have stood with my hands in the air, been free
Let go of everything I live in
I should have stood with my hands in the air, been free
And remained forever
I should have stood with my hands in the air, been free
Let go of everything I live in
I should have stood with my hands in the air, been free
And remained forever
