Paroles et traduction Hanne Krogh - Bli med til Amerika (Cowboy fra Karmøy)

Bli med til Amerika (Cowboy fra Karmøy)

Du var sjenert
Men du rørte armen min
Og jeg snudde meg
Da jeg kjente varmen din.
Men jeg var ung
Så ung at jeg visste alt
Og jeg hadde svaret
På hva som var rett og galt

Og du var en cowboy fra Karmøy
Jeg syns du var litt av et syn
Men du var en cowboy fra Karmøy
Og jeg var en jente fra by'n

Vi gikk langs kaien
En septemberkveld
Du hadde drømmer
Jeg var fornuften selv
Jeg skulle sagt ja
På båten til Torvastad
Da du sa til meg:
"Bli med til Amerika!"

Men du var en cowboy fra Karmøy
Jeg syns du var litt av et syn
En lyslugget cowboy fra Karmøy
Men jeg var en jente fra by'n

Hvor er du nå, hvor er du nå, hvor er du?
Hva gjør du nå, hva gjør du nå, hva gjør du nå, hva gjør du?
Hva ser du nå, hva ser du nå, husker du?
Du var en vaskeekte cowboy fra Karmøy
Og jeg var en jente fra by'n
Som falt for en cowboy fra Karmøy
Jeg skulle så gjerne vært din

Join me in America (Cowboy from Karmøy)

You were shy
But you touched my arm
And I turned around
When I felt your warmth.
But I was young
So young that I knew everything
And I had the answer
To what was right and wrong

And you were a cowboy from Karmøy
I thought you were quite a sight
But you were a cowboy from Karmøy
And I was a girl from the city

We walked along the quay
One September evening
You had dreams
I was reason itself
I should have said yes
On the boat to Torvastad
When you said to me:
"Join me in America!"

But you were a cowboy from Karmøy
I thought you were quite a sight
A fair-haired cowboy from Karmøy
But I was a girl from the city

Where are you now, where are you now, where are you?
What are you doing now, what are you doing now, what are you doing now, what are you doing?
What do you see now, what do you see now, do you remember?
You were a real cowboy from Karmøy
And I was a girl from the city
Who fell in love with a cowboy from Karmøy
I wish I could have been yours
