Paroles et traduction Erlend Ropstad - Vi Henter De Om Natta

Vi Henter De Om Natta

Vi henter de om natta, når de har sovet en times tid.
Tar de med ut i mørket sånn at ingen av oss syns.
Nå som måneden er Desember, må alle sitte stille.
Under gatelyset daler engler ned i skjul.
Vi henter de om natta.
Vi henter de om natta.
Var du redd at de hadde kommet for å høste?
Var du redd at de hadde kommet for å dø?
Livredde vil de redde sine døtre ut av hus som brenner ned.
Vi henter de om natta, for vi var enige om det.
Få med alle døtre, alle de små ryggsekkene.
Det er så umoderne å være menneske, all sin umoderne verdighet.
Alle alle vil vi ha med vil vi ha med til himmelen.
Ja, til himmelen.
Til himmelen.
Var du redd at noen skulle komme deg for nærme?
Var du redd selv etter at de dro?
Ditt hav er så lite, min båt så stor.
Vi henter de om natta, vi var enige om det.
Vi henter de om natta før de rekker å slå seg ned.
Vi henter de om natta og kaller det rettferdighet.
Vi henter de om natta og kaller det rettferdighet.
Vi henter de om natta.

We Pick Them Up at Night

We pick them up at night, when they've slept for an hour.
We take them out into the darkness so that none of us are seen.
Now that it's December, everyone must sit still.
Under the streetlights, angels descend in secret.
We pick them up at night.
We pick them up at night.
Were you afraid that they had come to reap?
Were you afraid that they had come for you to die?
Terrified, they will save their daughters from houses that burn down.
We pick them up at night, because we agreed to do so.
Take all the daughters, all the little backpacks.
It's so unfashionable to be human, all their unfashionable dignity.
We want to take everyone, everyone with us to heaven.
Yes, to heaven.
To heaven.
Were you afraid that someone would come too close to you?
Were you afraid even after they left?
Your sea is so small, my boat so big.
We pick them up at night, we agreed to do so.
We pick them up at night, before they have time to settle down.
We pick them up at night, and call it justice.
We pick them up at night, and call it justice.
We pick them up at night.
