Eg Har Virra Omkring - Bjørn Eidsvåg traduction en anglais

Eg Har Virra Omkring

Eg har virra omkring - gått i ring
Bete meg sjøl i halen
Eg har virra omkring - gått i ring
Trudd eg va fri som svalen.

Har trudd at eg va sterke mann som visste kor eg sto
Har meint at eg har hatt peiling - har meint at eg forsto
Men meiningar e ein ting og følelsar - el langt frå det samma
Og uten kontakt med min forfengelighet har eg stadig blitt ramma.

Han snakka fint om ansvarlighet og om å temma sine troll
Har trudd at eg har hatt styring har trudd eg har hatt kontroll
Men det har hjulpe meg lite at kontrollbehovet har hatt øvetaket
Når eg har sotte der med flausene i fanget og det e ingen vei tebake.

Eg har virra omkring - rundt navlen min - trudd eg va fri som svalen
Eg virre stadigt omkring - går i ring - men det e gøy å ver litt galen.

I've Been Wandering Around

I've been wandering around - going in circles
Biting my own tail
I've been wandering around - going in circles
Thinking I was free as a bird.

I thought I was a strong man who knew where I stood
I thought I had it all figured out - I thought I understood
But opinions are one thing and feelings - oh so far from the same
And without contact with my vanity I have been constantly hit.

He talked eloquently about responsibility and about taming one's demons
I thought I was in control - I thought I had control
But it has helped me little that the need for control has had the upper hand
When I've sat there with my mistakes in my lap and there's no way back.

I've been wandering around - around my navel - thinking I was free as a bird
I keep wandering around - going in circles - but it's fun to be a little crazy.
