Lyrics and translation Bifrost - Faldet




Faldet
Fallen
Du stod engang den højeste klippe
You once stood on the highest cliff
Du holdt fast, du ku ikke slippe
You held on so tight, you couldn't slip
Dengang alt var lysende og klart
When everything was so bright and clear
Reolerne bugned af de bedste bøger
The shelves were filled with the best books
Du citerede gerne:
You used to quote:
De finder som søger
They who seek shall find
Og havde altid svaret parat.
You always had the answer
Nu ka du ikke mere spille smart
Now you can't play smart anymore
Hvor billederne hang
Where the pictures used to hang
Er der nu bart
It's all empty now
Du er faldet her,
You've fallen here,
Du ka ikke finde hjem.
You can't find your way home.
Du havde altid én
You always had someone
At støtte dig til
To lean on
Og farmand sagde:
And your father said:
Man ka hva man vil
You can do what you want
Var han ikke forsikrlngsagent?
Wasn't he an insurance agent?
Nu indser du her
Now you realize here
Med din ømme fod
With your aching foot
Der er ting man ikke
There are things you can't
Kan forsikres imod f.eks.
Insure yourself against
Når bøtten bliver vendt.
When the box is flipped.
Nu ska du skaffe mad
Now you must get food for yourself
Til eget bord
On your own table
dette gedemarked
In this goat market
Er der ingen kære mor
There's no mommy
Det er alvor her:
It's serious here:
Det er ikke spøg og skæmt
It's not a joke
Det er ikke nemt at
It's not easy to
Vær ude og glemt
Be out and forgotten
man er faldet herned
When you've fallen down here
Hvor man ikke mer'
Where you don't know anymore
Ved om man er købt
If you're bought
Eller solgt
Or sold
Skal være flov eller stolt
Should be ashamed or proud
Og man føler sig skabt
And you feel created
Som en
As a
Håbløs,
Hopeless,
Fredløs,
Outlaw,
Hjemløs,
Homeless,
Hjælpeløs fortabt.
Helpless
Du kunne din religionshistorie
You were good at history of religion
Indtil du faldt
Until you fell
I din egen glorie
In your own glory
Vasked du aldrig munden
Did you ever wash your mouth
Når du sagde gud?
When you said God?
Du var hjemme i
You felt at home
Alle de høje tanker
In all the high thoughts
Men hva nytter det
But what good is that
Når døden banker døren og sir:
When death knocks at the door and says:
Nu er tiden løbet ud!
Now the time has come!
Tror du stadig
You still believe in
de gode og onde
The good and the evil
Nu du selv er derude
Now you're out there yourself
Hvor man ikke kan bunde
Where you can't sink
glemslens hav
On the sea of oblivion
Er der ingen løsninger gemt
There are no solutions hidden there
Nej der er ikke nemt
No, it's not easy
At være ude og glemt
To be out and forgotten
Når man er faldet herned
When you've fallen down here
Hvor man ikke mer' ved
Where you don't know anymore
Om man er købt eller solgt
If you're bought or sold
Skal være flov eller stolt
Should be ashamed or proud
Og man føler sig skabt
And you feel created
Som en
As a
Håbløs,
Hopeless,
Fredløs,
Outlaw,
Hjemløs,
Homeless,
Hjælpeløs fortabt.
Helpless
