Translation of the song lyrics Velg Bort Livet - Taake

Velg Bort Livet (original)

Det var svart det var natt
En blodsoet skygge ut fra veggen
Naalys fugl paa gresstak
taler livet baklengs naar det kveldes
og det blaaser til storm
Et skittent under
Kald sterk sannhet
uten sol
Foredlet smerterus og kroppslig svinn
Djevelen paa tunet ville gjerne inn
Kullkastet
Vissen
Hinsides
liksvekk
Velg bort livet
Evig kulde
Evig intet
Et siste sukk av lettelse
for aa slippe aa leve mer
Endelig ut av livets reim
No skal ein gut faa koma heim
bloedende

Velg Bort Livet (translation)

It was black it was night
A blood-soaked shadow from the wall
Naalys fugl paa gresstak
speaks life backwards when it's evening
and it blows to storm
A dirty miracle
Cold strong truth
without sun
Refined pain intoxication and bodily wastage
The devil in the yard wanted to come in
The litter
Fish
Beyond
corpse weakening
Opt out of life
Eternal cold
Eternal nothing
One last sigh of relief
to avoid living more
Finally out of life's belt
Now a good man must come home
bleeding
