Paroles et traduction Erlend Ropstad - Svevde høyt der oppe

Svevde høyt der oppe

Det var samme veien vi skulle
Seint på natta
Du var redd for å gå aleine
Du ville ta følge med meg da

Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Aldri kom jeg meg ned

Jeg husker vi kom til bunnen av en bakke
Jeg husker åssen din munn smakte
Inni meg et hav
Det var der våre veier skilte av

Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Aldri kom jeg meg ned

Jeg vil tro det var måneskinn
Jeg vil tro jeg ulte som en hund
Det er vanskelig å si noe sikkert om sånne ting
Meg jeg vil tro jeg var full

Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Aldri kom jeg meg ned

Nå som minnet er forgylt
Nå som den bussholdeplassen er hellig grunn
Da alt var smerte eller glede
Jeg er usikker på om det egentlig skjedde

Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned
Jeg svevde høyt der oppe
Aldri kom jeg meg ned

Floating High Up There

We were headed down the same road
Late at night
You were scared to walk alone
You wanted to join me then

I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
Never did I get down

I remember we reached the bottom of a hill
I remember how your mouth tasted
A sea within me
That's where our paths diverged

I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
Never did I get down

I want to believe it was moonlight
I want to believe I howled like a dog
It's hard to say anything for sure about such things
I'd like to think I was drunk

I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
Never did I get down

Now that the memory is gilded
Now that that bus stop is holy ground
When everything was either pain or joy
I'm not sure if it actually happened

I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
I was floating high up there
Never did I get down
