Paroles et traduction Kari Bremnes - Gje dæ ly

Gje dæ ly

Det va langt imella husan
æ va kommen ut av kurs
Og der stod æ uten retning,
Karriere eller rouge
Hadde ingenting å tape
Hadde ingenting å by
Vil du komme inn I varmen, sa han,
æ ska gje dæ ly
Det e mange skjær I sjøen
Det e hindringe på land
Det e daga da det einaste
Du ber om e ei hand
Det e vanskelig å be om
æ har alltid vorre sky
Vil du komme inn I varmen, sa han,
æ ska gje dæ ly
Det e lyda ifra loftet
Det e ikkje mine skritt
Æ kan høre at de rope
Det som før va navnet mitt
Men æ har det ikkje lenger
Det har bare vært te bry
Vil du komme inn I varmen, sa han
æ ska gje dæ ly
Det va sekkert risikabelt
Der e risiko I alt
Men kor lenge kan du fryse
Før du kjenn at det e kaldt
Det va der han tok imot mæ,
Det va dagen æ blei ny
Vil du komme inn I varmen, sa han,
æ ska gje dæ ly

Give Me Shelter

It was a long way between the houses
I had lost my way
And I stood there without direction,
A career or a life of crime
I had nothing to lose
I had nothing to give
Will you come in from the cold, he said,
I'll give you shelter
There are many pitfalls at sea
There are obstacles on land
There are days when all you ask for
Is a hand to hold
It's hard to ask for
I have always been shy
Will you come in from the cold, he said,
I'll give you shelter
There are sounds from the attic
It's not my footsteps
I can hear them calling out
What used to be my name
But I no longer have it
It's only been a nuisance
Will you come in from the cold, he said,
I'll give you shelter
It was certainly risky
There's risk in everything
But how long can you freeze
Before you realize it's cold
That's where he took me in,
That's the day I was reborn
Will you come in from the cold, he said,
I'll give you shelter
