Isabel (Remastered)

Isabel

Isabel - fekk'kje bli allikavel
Isabel - det e' kaldt blandt høge fjell
Isabel - måtte dra allikavel
Isabel - e' uten heim igjen i kveld

Stille frykt bak rullegardiner
Mamma hysje', lillebror grine'
Pappa seie' ingenting ikveld,
Holde' godt rundt Isabel
Aldri fri og aldri fred
Skammen e' te' å leva med
Angsten spise' snart alle mann -
Dei søke' heim i eit annet land

Isabel... ...

Heilt nytt land og mye venner
Et lite håp blafre' og brenne'
I ei bygd mellom høge fjell
Smile' lykken te' Isabel
Eit lite hus uten rullegardiner;
Mamma synge' når lillebror grine'
Pappa smile' forsiktig i kveld,
Holde' godt rundt Isabel

Det va'kje fælt nok der dei kom ifra
Hadde alt vore verre hadde alt vore bra

Isabel... .

Isabel

Isabel - she was not to be after all
Isabel - it is freezing among the high mountains
Isabel - had to leave after all
Isabel - is once again homeless tonight

Silent fear behind the blinds
Mama is trying to quiet us, little brother is crying
Papa says nothing tonight,
Holds Isabel tight
Never at peace and never at ease
Living with shame
Anxiety eats at them all -
Seeking a home in a strange land

Isabel... ...

A completely new country and many friends
Flickering hope
In a village in the mountains
A smile of fortune for Isabel
A small house without any blinds
Mama is singing, little brother is crying
Papa smiles gently tonight,
Holds Isabel tight

It wasn't bad enough where they came from
If everything had been worse, everything would have been fine

Isabel... .
