Lyrics and translation Stefan Sundström - Havets kvarnar




Havets kvarnar
Mills of the Sea
Det du är nu var jag också, bort i tiden
I was once what you are now, long ago
Det jag är skall du och bli
You shall become what I am
Allting i mig flyter ut, vad tiden lider
As time goes by, all of me will dissolve
Blir som du, blir som jag blir som vi
I become you, you become me we become one
Vågor tuggar fradga, spyr upp dina glömda barn
Waves chomp foam, vomiting up your forgotten children
Allt som sas av stadga mals nu ner i havets kvarn
All that was said of steadiness now grinds down in the mill of the sea
Trygga, torra land blev till en mardröms mardröms rytt
The safe, dry land became a nightmare's nightmare's steed
Ditt fina slott var byggt av sand och aldrig nånsin ditt
Your fine castle was built of sand and never yours
Det du är nu var jag också, bort i tiden
I was once what you are now, long ago
Det jag är skall du och bli
You shall become what I am
Allting i mig flyter ut, vad tiden lider
As time goes by, all of me will dissolve
Blir som du, blir som jag blir som vi
I become you, you become me we become one
Allt fast centrifugeras, far iväg åt alla håll
All that is solid is centrifuged, scattered in all directions
Det maximala minimeras, ettor blir till noll
The maximum is minimized, ones become zeros
Havet maler berg till grus, alla fasta fundament
The sea grinds mountains to dust, all firm foundations
Grusas liksom drömmar om att ingenting har hänt
Grind like the dreams that say nothing ever happened
Det jag är nu blir du också, vad det lider
What I am now, you will also become, with time
En gång var jag som du
I was once like you
Allting i dig flyter ut, och med tiden
As time goes by, all of you will dissolve
Blir vi samma, jag och du
We will become the same, you and I
Allt det som du sa du var blev en våg väg mot strand
Everything you said you were became a wave heading for shore
Som krossas och glöms bort emot klipporna iland
Which was smashed and forgotten against the rocks on land
