Paroles et traduction Kari Bremnes - Du Skulle Vært Her

Du Skulle Vært Her

Det lukte så godt av håret mett nu
Du skulle vært her
Æ like dæ når du snakke
Og æ like dæ når du lar vær
Du skulle vært her
Æ står og ser ut, det går en gammel mann forbi
Han e bare gammel, han e ikkje lenger en mann
Men kommer vi også dit, nesten umerkelig
At glitteret i oss langsomt går over i sand
Æ ser at det kommer ei sol hit nu
Du skulle vært her
Æ like dæ når du sovne
Og æ like dæ når du lar vær
Du skulle vært her
I hodet mitt har æ en hage, æ ville ha vist dæ den
En nordavindshage ut mot en åpen fjord
Der vaie fremdeles en barndom ilamme rabarbraen
Det ordet rabarbra e veldig et sommerord
Og alle ting vare uhjelpelig kort
Du skulle vært her
Æ kan ikkje bry mæ om det
Og æ kan ikkje heller la vær
Du skulle vært her
Og dagan har navn, men ingen kan rope dem hjem igjen
Daga e hellige barn, de skal vokse tel år
De kan ikkje finne telbake og ingen kan følge dem
De leke litt med oss - og så må de gå når de går

You Should Have Been Here

Your hair smelled so good now
You should have been here
I love it when you talk
And I love it when you don't
You should have been here
I'm standing and looking out, an old man is passing by
He's just old, he's no longer a man
But will we also reach that point, almost unnoticeably
That the sparkle in us slowly turns into sand
I can see the sun coming here now
You should have been here
I love it when you fall asleep
And I love it when you don't
You should have been here
In my head I have a garden, I would have shown it to you
A north wind garden facing an open fjord
Where a childhood still waves among the rhubarb
The word rhubarb is very much a summer word
And all things lasted unbearably short
You should have been here
I can't care about it
And I can't not care either
You should have been here
And the days have names, but no one can call them home again
The days are sacred children, they shall grow up to years
They cannot find their way back and no one can follow them
They play with us for a while - and then they must go when they go
