Paroles et traduction L.O.C. - Abu Constantin

Abu Constantin

Jeg har aldrig helt forstået, hvorfor
Gud ville sætte en dæmon ind i hovedet på mig
Ik' før at jeg så dig
For hele dit liv har jeg våget over dig
Hele mit liv vil jeg våge over dig
Selv når jeg går bort vil jeg våge over dig
Og til enhver der ku' kryds din vej; jeg vil våge over dig
De har aldrig følt smerte
Ik' kendt helved før de ser mig
Og jeg sværger det bliver det sidste de gør
For jeg ta'r deres syn, la' dem vandre i mørke
Sandheden har de aldrig helt forstået
Så la' vær med at lyt, når de si'r far er syg i hovedet
De mangler blot mandsmod
Og du skal aldrig nogensinde mangle noget
Så luk du blot dine øjne og drøm dig væk
Jeg håber natten den bli'r god og lang
Ja jeg ved det godt, far snakker for meget
Så jeg skal nok tie stille og syng din sang

Once a upon a time there was
Irish ways and Irish laws
Villages of Irish blood
Waking to the morning
Then Cromwell and his soldiers came
Started centuries of shame
But they'll never make us turn
We are a river flowing
Today the struggle carries on
I wonder will I live so long
To see the gates be opened up
To a people and their freedom

Abu Constantin

I never quite understood why
God would put a devil inside my head
Not until I saw you
For all my life I've watched over you
All my life I will watch over you
Even when I'm gone I will watch over you
And to anyone who might cross your way; I will watch over you
They've never felt pain
Never known hell until they see me
And I swear it will be the last thing they do
For I will take their sight, leave them to wander in the dark
They've never quite understood the truth
So don't listen when they say Daddy's sick in the head
They're just lacking the fortitude
And you shall never, ever want
So just close your eyes and drift away
I hope your night is long and good
Yes, I know, Daddy talks too much
So I'll just shut up and sing you your song

Once upon a time there was
Irish ways and Irish laws
Villages of Irish blood
Waking to the morning
Then Cromwell and his soldiers came
Started centuries of shame
But they'll never make us turn
We are a river flowing
Today the struggle carries on
I wonder will I live so long
To see the gates be opened up
To a people and their freedom
