Paroles et traduction Bjørn Eidsvåg - Veien

Veien

Dei sa eg ville bli svaksynt
Om eg fulgte driften min
Dei kunne snakka i timevis
Om at kjærlighet gjør blind

Men eg syns eg fekk eit skjerpa blikk
Og såg meir enn nokon gong
Eg var fortrylla og forelska
Og livet var ein vakker song

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

Dei sa at alle veier er gode
Som fører til ein pengepung
Eg sa eg tvilte litt på det der
Dei sa eg va naiv og ung

Eg sa at eg ikkje lenger trudde
På alt som var smart og rett
At eg tross alt visste
Ka eg hadde høyrt og sett

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

Dei sa ho var nærast når ho var borte
Og at noko blei borte når ho var nær
Men eg merka at det der var bare diktning
Ho e jo nærast når ho e her

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

Veien blir ikkje te mens eg går
Veien var der òg i går
Men eg blir te mens eg går
Og det er den sjansen eg får

The Road

They said I would go blind
If I followed my heart
They could talk for hours
About how love makes one blind

But I think I got sharper eyes
And saw more than I ever did
I was enchanted and in love
And life was a beautiful song

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get

They said that all roads are good
That lead to a fat wallet
I said I doubted that
They said I was naive and young

I said that I no longer believed
In all that was clever and right
That I knew after all
What I had heard and seen

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get

They said she was closest when she was gone
And that something was lost when she was near
But I noticed that that was just poetry
She is closest when she is here

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get

The road is not made as I walk
The road was there yesterday
But I am made as I walk
And that is the chance I get
