Uendelig trist - deLillos Übersetzung ins Englische

Uendelig trist

Og derfor dukket døden opp i en lesebok
Da jeg så det diktet
Det handlet om at kjærligheten krevde mot
Og det mer enn jeg likte
Men det er lenge siden nå
At vi gikk på den skolen
Det er lenge siden nå
At hun bar den kjolen
Og derfor dukket døden opp som en sprø ide
For da jeg så på henne
Og skjønte at hun bare ville være i fred
Ble det tungt å leve
Men det er lenge siden nå
At hun var en ung kvinne
Som jeg aldri kunne få
Noensinne
Det er lenge siden nå
At dette hendte
Men det tok tid å forstå
At hun var bare en jente
Og derfor dukket det triste ord opp i denne sang
Men jeg har alltid visst
At noen jenter får meg til å føle hver gang
Så uendelig trist
Ja ja ja
Ja ja ja
Så lenge siden nå
Så lenge siden nå

Infinitely Sad

And that is why death appeared in a reading book
When I saw that poem
It was about how love required courage
And that was more than I liked
But that was long ago now
That we went to that school
It's been a long time now
That she wore that dress
And that's why death appeared as a crazy idea
For when I looked at her
And realized that she just wanted to be left alone
It became hard to live
But that was long ago now
That she was a young woman
That I could never have
Never
It's been a long time now
That this happened
But it took time to understand
That she was just a girl
And that is why the sad word appeared in this song
But I have always known
That some girls make me feel every time
So infinitely sad
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
So long ago now
So long ago now
