Paroles et traduction Bjørn Eidsvåg - Min båt er så liten




Min båt er så liten
My Boat Is So Small
Min båt er liten - og havet
My boat is so small - and the ocean so
Uendelig svært
Infinitely vast
Det sitte' ein tørste seilar og minnes ein
There sits a thirsty sailor and remembers a
Song han har lært
Song he has learned
Han lot vel kje akkurat Jesus styra og
He probably didn't let Jesus steer and
Stå ved roret
Stand at the helm
Han blei trøsta i mang ei havn, men
He was comforted in many a harbor, but
Frelst - det e 'kje ordet
Saved - that's not the word
I kveld vises film lugaren i hans indre
Tonight a film is shown on the cabin in his mind
Litt slitne kinosal
A somewhat worn cinema hall
Han ser seg barndommens bedehus
He sees himself at his childhood's prayer house
Han ser "bestå" med veska og sjal
He sees "bestå" with her handbag and shawl
Hu synge i lag med dei andre om
She sings together with the others about
Lammet og himmelens land
The Lamb and the heavenly country
Om Jesus som døde for vår skyld -
About Jesus who died for our sake -
"Ingen andre frelse kan"
"No other salvation is possible"
ber dei for bygd og fedreland
Then they pray for their village and fatherland
ber dei for døtre og sønner
Then they pray for their daughters and sons
Ei ber for sin tørste ektemann
One prays for their thirsty husband
her kreves sterke bønner
So here strong prayers are required
Han ser vitale emmiserar nåken med
He sees vital emissaries naked with
Trekkspill og gitar
Accordions and guitars
Han ser lysbilder fra Madagaskar, det e'
He sees slides from Madagascar, there is '
åresalg og kaffi - det e basar
the annual sale and coffee - there is the bazaar
Ungane bildene e' svarte, likavel
The children in the pictures are black, yet
Smile de og ler
they smile and laugh
Og pengane som komm' inn
And the money that comes into
Basaren, skal gi de evangeliet og kler
the bazaar will give them the Gospel and clothes
ber dei for bygd og fedreland
Then they pray for their village and fatherland
ber dei for døtre og sønner
Then they pray for their daughters and sons
Ei ber for sin tørste ektemann
One prays for their thirsty husband
her kreves sterke bønner
So here strong prayers are required
Ein aen gong ber dei for høsten
Another time they pray for the harvest
Dei ber for folk og for fe
They pray for people and for cattle
Og ein far takke for at tø'sten
And a father gives thanks that the thirst
endelig har latt an vær i fred
Has now finally left him in peace
Min båt er liten - og havet
My boat is so small - and the ocean so
Uendelig svært
Infinitely vast
Seilaren e' trøtt og brisen, han sovne
The sailor is tired and the breeze, he has fallen asleep
Nok av ittekvert
Enough of everything
Og drømme om når han ein gong ska
And dreams of when he will one day
Seila inn i sin siste solnedgang
Sail into his last sunset
At han kanskje får ein plass galleriet
That he might get a seat in the gallery
han får hørra litt englesang
So that he can hear some angel song
