Lyrics and translation Lillebjørn Nilsen - Kjærlighet & Karlsons Lim




Kjærlighet & Karlsons Lim
Love & Karlsson's Glue
Ta dette brustne hjerte! Smerte er et billig rim.
Take this broken heart! Anguish is a cheap rhyme.
Jeg har mere tro på: Kjærlighet & Karlsons lim.
I have greater faith in: Love & Karlsson's glue.
Smurt bruddets flate.
Smeared on the flat of the fracture.
Legg det under press! Mellom tunge bøker. Et leksikon fra A til S.
Put it under pressure! Between heavy books. An encyclopedia from A to S.
Når disse tunge tanker banker mitt hjertes dør, og står smertens terskel,
When these heavy thoughts knock on my heart's door, and stand on the threshold of pain,
Det er da jeg tenker at jeg bør lagd et skilt av messing.
That is when I think that I should have a brass sign made.
Et som lett blir sett. Mellom fire skruer: "TUNGE TANKER UØNSKET!"
One that is easily seen. Between four screws: "HEAVY THOUGHTS UNWELCOME!"
Jeg tenker en hjort jeg en gang.
I think of an elk I once saw.
underlig den sprang.
It pranced so strangely.
Den gjorde et hopp over en bekk.
It took a leap over a brook.
Plutselig var den vekk.
Suddenly it was gone.
Den gjorde et hopp over en bekk.
It took a leap over a brook.
Plutselig var den...
Suddenly it...
Ta dette brustne hjerte! Smerte er et billig rim.
Take this broken heart! Anguish is a cheap rhyme.
Jeg har mere tro på: Kjærlighet & Karlsons lim...
I have greater faith in: Love & Karlsson's glue...
Jeg har en venn i Bergen. Jørgen er en praktisk mann.
I have a friend in Bergen. Jørgen is a practical man.
Han kan gravere i messing. En dag skal jeg spørre han.
He can engrave in brass. One day I shall ask him.
Hans hjerte er edelt. De satte det ved byens port.
His heart is so noble. They placed it by the city gate.
Det føles godt å kjenne en som gjør det såpass stort.
It feels good to know someone who has made such a grand gesture.
Ta disse tunge tanker! De banker ofte hos meg.
Take these heavy thoughts! They often knock on my door.
Benytter frekt min gjestfrihet og nekter helt å sin vei.
Presumptuously taking advantage of my hospitality and absolutely refusing to leave.
For alle triste sanger fanger min oppmerksomhet.
For all the sad songs capture my attention.
De har mange vakre ord. Det er noe alle vet.
They have so many beautiful words. It's something everyone knows.
Jeg tenker en hjort jeg en gang.
I think of an elk I once saw.
underlig den sprang.
It pranced so strangely.
Den gjorde et hopp over en bekk.
It took a leap over a brook.
Plutselig var den vekk.
Suddenly it was gone.
Den gjorde et hopp over en bekk.
It took a leap over a brook.
Plutselig var den...
Suddenly it...
