Translation of the song lyrics Utenat - Siri Nilsen

Utenat (original)

Var det jeg som gjorde ryggen din så sterk?
Som tok din nattesøvn og ga deg hjerteverk?
Var det navnet mitt du sang natt etter natt?
Det må ha vært som dette at du kunne meg
Utenat
Utenat
Å, så nær at jeg ble til av det du var
Og hørte hjertet ditt dunke innenfra
Var det jeg som gjorde blikket ditt så klart
Var det som en gåte som du likevel kunne
Utenat
Utenat
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Utenat
Utenat
Var det mine pust du lyttet etter
Som ble til takten i dine netter
Var det lyset mitt som blendet deg
Som lot deg se det vi aller laget av
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Var det mitt navn du sang, mitt navn du sang?
Utenat

(translation)

Was it me that made your back so strong?
Who took your night's sleep and gave you heartache?
Was that my name you sang night after night?
It must have been like this that you knew me
Utenat
Utenat
Oh, so close that I was made of what you were
And heard your heart beating from within
Was it I who made your gaze so clear
Was it like a riddle that you still could
Utenat
Utenat
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
Utenat
Utenat
Were those my breaths you listened to
That became the rhythm of your nights
Was it my light that dazzled you
Who let you see what we all made of
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
Was it my name you sang, my name you sang?
