Lyrics and translation Bjørn Eidsvåg - Kyrie (Remastered)

Kyrie (Remastered)

Du låg skjeivande av angst på kne
Og svetten rant som blo
Og venene du hadde med
Dei som i største ro
Dei svikta då du trengte dei
Du hadde gitt dei alt
Dei valde minste motstands vei
Og svikta då det gjalL

Og eg har tenkt det sko ′kje eg ha gjort
Eg sko ha kjempa saman med deg
Holdt rundt deg og tørka svetten bort
- Gjort ka eg kunne for å gle deg.

Dei dømde deg te død og pine
Spotta deg og lo
Og ein av dei du kalla dine fornekta og bedro
Han svikta då du trengte han
Du hadde gitt ham alt.
Han var ein veik og vesal mann
Som svikta då det gjalt.

Men eg vet at eg og svikte
Fornekte og bedrar
Eg gjer'kje det eg v et eg plikte
- Eg e hjertelaus og hard.
E likasel for andres nød
Ofte blind for venners sorg
Ka bryr det meg dei andres død
Min kulde e så fast ein ′borg.

Likavel e du lika gla' i meg
Tilgir meg alle feilå mine
Stille tar du kappå di av deg
Og tar te å vaska beina mine

Likavel e du lika gla' i meg
Tilgir meg alle feilå mine
Stille tar du kappå di av deg
Og tar te å vaska beina mine

Kyrie (Remastered)

You were squirming in fear and anxiety
And the sweat ran like blood
And the friends you had brought with you
Those who were most calm
They betrayed you when you needed them.
You had given them everything
You chose the path of least resistance
And betrayed you when it mattered.

And I thought I wouldn't have done that
I would have fought alongside you
Held you and wiped away the sweat
- Done everything I could to make you happy.

They sentenced you to death and torture
Spat on you and laughed
And one of those you called your own denied and betrayed you
He betrayed you when you needed him.
You had given him everything.
He was a weak and pitiful man
Who betrayed you when it mattered.

But I know that I too betrayed you
Denied and deceived you
I don't do what I know I should do
- I am heartless and cruel.
I am indifferent to the suffering of others
Often blind to the sorrow of my friends
What do I care about the death of others?
My coldness is so strong a fortress.

And yet you are just as happy with me
Forgive me all my mistakes.
You quietly take off your coat
And you start washing my feet

And yet you are just as happy with me
Forgive me all my mistakes.
You quietly take off your coat
And you start washing my feet
