Paroles et traduction Mikael Wiehe - Titanic - Live

Titanic - Live

Det brjade som en skakning p nedre dck
Det fyllde oss vl mer med hpnad n med skrck
Vi frstod inte riktigt orsaken till
Att fartyget sprungit lck
Man hade sagt oss att detta var vrldens modernaste
Osnkbara skepp

Du tog vrt foto av barnen, dina smycken och din hatt
Jag tog en trja
Jag tnkte att havet r skert kallt
Nr vi steg ut ur vr hytt och sg
Hur vattnet brjat strmma in
Sg jag en tr, eller var det kanske en droppe vatten
P din kind

Vi fljde pilar som angav rddningsbtens plats
Det var p versta dck fast det 'gentli'n var frsta klass
Vi var rtt mnga men alla tog det ganska lugnt
Det var vl bara en herre frn tredje klass
Som trngde sej lite dumt

Vi trffa en man som vi hlsat p frut
Han presenterade oss fr sin dotter och sin fru
Nr vi kom upp p dck, sa kaptenen
Att livbten inte gick att f i sjn
Det var visst kedjorna till n'n hissanordning
Som ngon hade glmt

Vi gick till baren och fick ett gratis glas champagne
Och vi sklade fr imperiet och fr varann'
Nu brja skeppet att sjunka snabbare
Och dess lutning var ganska stor
Mnga hoppade i vattnet
Men vi beslt att stanna kvar ombord

Sen lmna rttorna skeppet fr att ska sej mot land
Men vi stod kvar dr p dcket och hll varann' i hand
Vi tnkte, havet r alltfr stort och kallt och vilt
Och i dom btar som satts i sjn fanns inte plats
Fr en enda till

Sen spela fartygsorkestern Nrmare Gud till Dig
Det kndes lite fnigt men nd rtt typiskt
Fr just vr tid
Vi har frlorat den allra sista gnuttan hopp
Vi gr till botten dr vi str
Men flaggan, den gr i topp

Titanic - Live

It started as a shaking on the lower deck
It filled us more with hope than with terror
We didn't understand quite the reason why
That the ship had sprang a leak
We had been told that this was the word's most modern
Unsinkable ship

You took our photo of the kids, your jewelry and your hat
I took a sweater
I thought the ocean waters sure are cold
When we stepped outside and saw our room
How the water had started to stream in
I saw a tear, or was it maybe just a drop of water
On your cheek

We followed arrows that indicated the lifeboat's spot
It was on the upper deck even though 'gentli'n' was the first class
We were quite a few but everybody took it easy
It was only one gentleman from third class
Who pushed himself in a bit foolishly

We met a man who we had previously met
He introduced us to his daughter and his wife
When we came up on deck, the captain said
That the lifeboats couldn't be launched
It was some chains around some hoisting device
That somebody had forgotten

We went into the bar and got a free glass of champagne
And we skåled for the empire and for each other
Now the ship started to sink faster
And its tilt was pretty big
Many jumped into the water
But we decided to stay onboard

Then the rats left the ship to head for land
But we stood there on deck and held each other's hand
We thought, the ocean is much too big and cold and wild
And in those boats that had been launched
There wasn't room

Then the ship's orchestra played Nearer My God to Thee
It felt a bit silly but still quite typical
For our time
We have lost the very last bit of hope
We are going to the bottom where we will stand
But the flag, it will fly at the top
