| Eg visste ka eg ville ha,
| I knew what I wanted,
|
| Men det sprs om det va det eg kunne f.
| But the question is whether that was what I could do.
|
| Sjangsen mtte eg jo ta.
| I had to take the chance.
|
| Ellers fekk eg ikkje svar fr ittep.
| Otherwise, I didn't get an answer from ittep.
|
| Den gongen eg prvde p nytt,
| The time I tried again,
|
| Og eg sg s alt for lyst p framti,
| And I saw too bright a future,
|
| Blei eg enn ein gong snytt.
| I was once again cheated.
|
| Alt som sto tebage va kun baksi.
| Everything that stood behind was only behind.
|
| Eg visste ka eg ville ha,
| I knew what I wanted,
|
| Men det sprs om det va det eg kunne f.
| But the question is whether that was what I could do.
|
| Sjangsen mtte eg jo ta.
| I had to take the chance.
|
| Ellers fekk eg ikkje svar fr ittep
| Otherwise, I didn't get an answer from ittep
|
| Nr kalddusjen ause sitt sjokk,
| When the cold shower auses its shock,
|
| Nr eg oppdage ein strek i regningen,
| When I discover a line in the bill,
|
| Nr eg syns eg har ftt nok,
| When I think I've had enough,
|
| D begynne eg skjnna tegningen. | Then I began to understand the drawing. |
