Paroles et traduction Bifrost - Spejlstorm

Spejlstorm

Der var en mand i en lille båd
Som styrede uden kurs og råd
Han havde sejlet havet tyndt
Men følte han lige var begyndt
Han havde set hvert eneste land
Og prøvet alt det mennesker kan
Han ville sejle til han blev fri
Han følte livet gik ham forbi.
Han var alene på sin båd
Og når folk bad om vej eller råd
Var munden lukket med syv sejl
Hans eneste selskab var et spejl
Han følte han holdt folket for når
Når han ikke selv vidste hvem han var
Han betvivler alt han havde set
Og ville forstå det som vi sket.
En nat da han havde rundet Skagen
Sejlede han ind i en orkan
Han måtte kæmpe med vejr og vind
Han kæmped dog mest med sit eget sind
Han følte sig klemt bag sit pandeben
Hans fødder var tunge som kampesten
Da bølgerne lagde sig ėn for ėn
Havde havet klaret mandens problem.
Solen fejrede skyerne bort
Hver enkelt bølge glimtede kort
Og i kahytten rasende rod
Lå stumper af glas hvor spejlet før stod

Mirror Storm

There was a man in a small boat
Who sailed without course or advice
He had sailed the ocean thin
But felt he had just begun
He had seen every country
And tried everything that people can
He would sail until he was free
He felt life was passing him by.
He was alone on his boat
And when people asked for advice or help
His mouth was shut with seven sails
His only company was a mirror
He felt he kept people at bay
When he didn't know who he was himself
He doubted everything he had seen
And wanted to understand what had happened.
One night when he had rounded Skagen
He sailed into a hurricane
He had to fight with weather and wind
But he fought most with his own mind
He felt squeezed behind his forehead
His feet were heavy as cobblestones
When the waves subsided one by one
The ocean had solved the man's problem.
The sun chased the clouds away
Every single wave gleamed briefly
And in the wildly disordered cabin
Lay shards of glass where the mirror once stood
