Paroles et traduction Lars Marco - Visen om de atten svaner

Visen om de atten svaner

Jeg drømte om atten svaner i nat
Og såmænd også lidt om dig.
Og du bad mig om atten kys i min drøm,
Og jeg gad ikke sige nej.
Min ven, lad mig vide, om du kunne lide,
Hvis jeg bare var vågnet, da jeg drømte du kom
Så du intet fik bedt mig om.

Jeg så dig skam fra mit vindu′ i går
Men du så ikke mig, min ven.
Jo, du kom her forbi mit vindu' i går
Men forsvandt så, gud ved hvorhen.
Min ven, lad mig vide, om du kunne lide,
Hvis jeg havde slå′t vinduet op en to tre,
Og du så, der var én at se.

Min drøm nu i dag, den regner det i
Og jeg gir dig min paraply.
Under den er du tryg i læ og ly
For hvert eneste utæt sky.
Min ven, lad mig vide, om du kunne lide,
Hvis jeg blot lod det regne, så du stod der konfus
Li'så våd som en druknet mus.

Jeg drømte om atten svaner i nat,
Og såmænd også lidt om dig.
Og du bad mig om atten kys i min drøm,
Og jeg gad ikke sige nej.
Min ven, lad mig videm om du kunne lide
Hvis jeg bare var vågnet, da jeg drømte du kom
Så du intet fik bedt mig om.

The Dream of the Eighteen Swans

I dreamed about eighteen swans last night
And also a little about you.
And you asked me for eighteen kisses in my dream,
And I didn't want to say no.
My friend, let me know if you would have liked it,
If I had just woken up when I dreamed you came
So that you didn't ask me anything.

I did see you from my window yesterday
But you didn't see me, my friend.
Yes, you came past my window yesterday
But then disappeared, goodness knows where.
My friend, let me know if you would have liked it,
If I had opened the window one two three,
And you saw that there was someone to see.

My dream today, it's raining in it
And I'm giving you my umbrella.
Under it, you're safe and sheltered
From every single leaky sky.
My friend, let me know if you would have liked it,
If I had just let it rain so that you stood there confused
As wet as a drowned mouse.

I dreamed about eighteen swans last night,
And also a little about you.
And you asked me for eighteen kisses in my dream,
And I didn't want to say no.
My friend, let me know, if you would have liked it
If I had just woken up when I dreamed you came
So that you didn't ask me anything.
