Paroles et traduction Bjørn Eidsvåg - Ordet fanger

Ordet fanger

Eg va liten og livredd
Du tok meg der eg sko tas
Kvert ord du sa va sant
Bolverket mitt gjekk i knas
Eg brukte det eldsta trikset
Eg åpna et gammalt sår
Eg misbrukte årelang tillit
Sko tru eg va født i går

Ref: det der sko eg aldri ha sagt
Et lite ord blant mange
Nå e alt ødelagt
Ordet fange'
Det der sko eg aldri ha gjort
Eg lytta te ein slange
Alt gjekk så alfor fort
Ordet fange'

Eg kunne bitt av meg tungå
Eg va klar for å gjera bot
Men det lot seg 'kje ta tebake
Ordet slo umiddelbart rot
Og eg som trudd' eg va sterke
Svarte på omsorg med svik
Eg som trudd' eg va mild
Va rede te å gå øve lik

Ref: det der sko eg aldri ha sagt
Et lite ord ...

Eg lyge for meg sjøl
Så eg trur at det e sant
Og når du vise meg det
Angripe' eg kontant
Ein håplaus ignorant
Ref: det der sko eg aldri ha sagt
Et lite ord ...

The Word Captures

I was young and terrified
You took me where I should be taken
Every word you said was true
My defenses crumbled
I used the oldest trick
I opened an old wound
I abused years of trust
You'd think I was born yesterday

Chorus: I should never have said that
A small word among many
Now everything is ruined
The word traps
I should never have done that
I listened to a snake
Everything happened too quickly
The word traps

I could have bitten off my tongue
I was ready to repent
But it couldn't be taken back
The word immediately took root
And I who thought I was strong
Responded to care with treachery
I who thought I was gentle
Was willing to walk over corpses

Chorus: I should never have said that
A small word ...

I lie to myself
So I believe it's true
And when you show me
I attack immediately
A hopeless ignorant fool
Chorus: I should never have said that
A small word ...
