Paroles et traduction Bjørn Eidsvåg - Du Tok Ikkje Auene Dine Frå Meg

Du Tok Ikkje Auene Dine Frå Meg

Eg såg deg komma
Eg såg du va' rein
Eg blei heilt ifrå meg forbanna deg og grein
Eg hadde bedt og ropt så lenge
Kvifor kom du ikkje før
Nå va' det for seint
Eg hadde bolta mi dør
Eg va' ein statue med hjarta som
Banka i granitt
Berre steinur og ørken va'
Landskapet mitt

Du tok ikkje auene dine frå meg
Du såg te det sprang vatten fram frå stein
Eg kviskra: Du må ikkje gå ifrå meg!
Du tok meg tett inn te deg og grein
Du grein

Eg vet'kje ka eg fant
Eg vet'kje ka eg fekk
Sjøl om eg blei trist
Va' eg hail då du gjekk
Eg hadde sett eit glimt av himmel,
Men eg kjente lukt av jord
Og eg forsto at mårådagen
Alt bere' dine spor
Eg fekk pusta i din nåde, og fekk
Evne te å sjå
Ditt bilde i min neste, og fekk mot te å gå

Du tok ikkje auene dine ...

Der tårene dine møtt jord
Vaks ei rosa, vaks ditt ord
Du sa: Ta imot gåva, bror
Då du gjekk va' det strimer av blod
I ditt spor

You Didn't Take Your Eyes From Me

I saw you coming
I saw you were pure
I went completely mad, cursed you and cried
I had prayed and called for so long
Why didn't you come before
Now it was too late
I had bolted my door
I was a statue with a heart that
Beat in granite
Only stones and desert were
My landscape

You didn't take your eyes from me
You watched as water sprang from stone
I whispered: You must not leave me!
You took me close to you and cried
You cried

I don't know what I found
I don't know what I got
Though I became sad
I was whole when you left
I had seen a glimpse of heaven,
But I smelled the scent of earth
And I understood that tomorrow
Would only bear your traces
I was able to breathe in your grace, and I was given
The ability to see
Your image in my neighbor, and I was given the courage to go

You didn't take your eyes from me ...

Where your tears met the earth
A rose grew, your word grew
You said: Accept the gift, brother
When you left there were streaks of blood
In your track
