Paroles et traduction Mari Boine - Rosalita

Rosalita

Å du ser på mæ
Fra en TV-skjerm
Når di avmakt og redsel
Når mæ her hjemme
Når et ansikt, et menneskebarn
Trenge sæ frem
Æ vil glemme
Æ vil glemme
Æ vil glemme
Och när du upplever världen som
Iskall och stor
Ska jag stå upp och sloss
För deg älskade bror
Jag skal skydda deg
Mot orättvis och vold
Aldrig glömma
Aldrig glömma
Aldrig glömma

Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Og vi passe på dæ i natt.

Go du morašlaš calmmit deivet mu
Go don oððasiin siivudit muitalat
Olbmománná
Mo heive
Mun jurddašan
Mun in hálit, in hálit gullat
Mutho dieðán in sáhte lovpetge
Go mus oappát
Ja vieljat mu dárbbašit
De vaikko máilbmi garas
Ja balddonas leaš
In áiggo goassige ciehkádit gal

Det finns ingen som hotar ditt liv här i natt
Du är en stjärna, en kung
För du äger en skatt
Du är liten, men enda
Det största som finns på jorden

Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Ni är stenar som gnistrar i
Främtidens skatt
Och vi skyddar er alla nu i natt

Når verden høgg tak i mæ
Kald og stor
Vil æ reis mæ å sloss
For kvar søster og bror
Æ ska vær der på vakt
Imot urett og vold
Aldri glemme
Aldri glemme
Aldri glemme

Behind the barbed-wired fences
The sun′s going down
You're eating your ration
Sitting on the ground
You′ve stopped counting the days
Till you'll get away
As the smoke from the campfire
Put tears in your eyes
I know that you know
There will come a time
When the wheels of fortune
Will spin the other way around
You shall not have lost
Your childhood in vain
For the sake of the fanatical
Greedy, insaine

Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Ni är stenar som gnistrar i
Främtidens skatt
Så vi skyddar er alla nu i natt

Det e ingen som vil dæ te livs no i natt
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Du e liten, men stor
Du e størst på vår jord
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo og Hans
Du e ei stjerne, en konge
Du eie en skatt
Vi ska passe på dæ i natt.

Rosalita

Oh, you look at me
From a TV screen
When your impotence and fear
Reach me here at home
When a face, a human child
Needs to push forward
I want to forget
I want to forget
I want to forget
And when you experience the world as
Cold and vast
I will stand up and fight
For you, beloved brother
I will protect you
From injustice and violence
Never forget
Never forget
Never forget

There is no one who wants to take your life tonight
You are a star, a king
You own a treasure
You are small, but great
You are the greatest on our earth
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
You are a star, a king
You own a treasure
And we will take care of you tonight.

When the dark spirits of war approach me
When the powers of darkness try to tell me
Grandmother Earth
My heart
My drum
My pure, pure gold
Death cannot defeat me
When the evil wind touches me
And tries to destroy my brothers
Even if the world burns
I am a warrior
And I will fight to the death to protect my people

There is no one who threatens your life here tonight
You are a star, a king
For you own a treasure
You are small, but only
The greatest thing that exists on earth

Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
You are stones that sparkle in
The treasure of the future
And we protect you all now tonight

When the world grabs me
Cold and big
I want to rise up and fight
For every sister and brother
I will be there on guard
Against injustice and violence
Never forget
Never forget
Never forget

Behind the barbed-wired fences
The sun′s going down
You're eating your ration
Sitting on the ground
You′ve stopped counting the days
Till you'll get away
As the smoke from the campfire
Put tears in your eyes
I know that you know
There will come a time
When the wheels of fortune
Will spin the other way around
You shall not have lost
Your childhood in vain
For the sake of the fanatical
Greedy, insaine

There is no one who wants to take your life tonight
You are a star, a king
You own a treasure
You are small, but great
You are the greatest on our earth
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
You are stones that sparkle in
The treasure of the future
So we protect you all now tonight

There is no one who wants to take your life tonight
You are a star, a king
You own a treasure
You are small, but great
You are the greatest on our earth
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
Rosalita, Natasja, Ailo and Hans
You are a star, a king
You own a treasure
We will take care of you tonight.
