Paroles et traduction Erlend Ropstad - Folk Spør Meg Om Deg

Folk Spør Meg Om Deg

Jeg ble brent av et blikk
Det var bare et lite sekund
Du sa ingenting
Men jeg vet at du tenkte på et helt liv som kunne blitt

Du skal vite en ting
At alle disse ord
Reiste ville vest omkring
Mitt eneste hjem var min hånd i din
Det var min hånd i din

Folk spør meg om deg
Spør hva du gjør og hvor du er
Jeg sier det var en av oss som gikk og lo
I en verden som gråt men at du ikke lenger klarte det

Du ble trøtt på å vende deg om
Så trøtt at du segna om
Før hadde du svaret alt
Så nådde du et punkt hvor du ingenting forsto
Men det var sånn du ble klok

Det er så mye jeg sku ha gjort
Skulle vært over fjellet en siste gang
Jeg skrev om det i en sang
Men den sang æ skrev den fins ikke mer

They Ask Me About You

I was burnt by a glance
It was only for a second
You didn't say anything
But I know you were thinking of a whole life that could have been

You should know one thing
That all these words
Travelled wild west around
My only home was my hand in yours
It was my hand in yours

People ask me about you
Ask what you're doing and where you are
I say it was one of us who walked and laughed
In a world that cried but that you couldn't manage it anymore

You got tired of turning around
So tired that you collapsed
Before, you had all the answers
Then you reached a point where you understood nothing
But that was how you became wise

There's so much I should have done
Should have been over the mountain one last time
I wrote about it in a song
But that song I wrote, it no longer exists
