Eventyr (Remastered) - New Jordal Swingers traduction en anglais

Eventyr (Remastered)

Eventyr eventyr
Du må'kke tro alt du leser
Eventyr eventyr
Det trykte ordet har makt

Det går en narr igjennom by'n i kveld
Han selger sladder som narkotika
Harn røper spenningen i stjernene
Og deres omgang med suksess

De smiler pent til fotografene
De viser charme og stil
Men rykteflommen i skandalene
Blir fantasifulle eventyr

Vi leser overskrifter daglig
Som går på tvers av all moraletikk
Vi leser overskrifter daglig
Som leker fritt med bruk av ord

De levde godt til sine dagers ende
Som i en lykkfantasi-legende
Hva annet kan du egentlig forvente
Av eventyr eventyr

Menneskeskjebner blir god reklame
Det går i svart og hvitt og grov sjikane
Og noen tjener mer enn du kan ane
På eventyr eventyr

Det tok litt tid for det gikk opp for meg
Journalistikk blir ofte subjektiv
Det bygges bro imellom ja og nei
Og lekes fritt med bruk av ord

Fairytales (Remastered)

Fairytales, fairytales,
Darling, you mustn't believe everything you read.
Fairytales, fairytales,
The printed word holds power, you see.

There's a fool walking through the city tonight,
Selling gossip like it's a drug.
He reveals the excitement in the stars' lives,
And their dealings with success, my love.

They smile sweetly for the photographers,
They show charm and style, it's true.
But the flood of rumors in the scandals,
Become fantastical fairytales for you.

We read headlines daily, my dear,
That go against all morals, I fear.
We read headlines daily, it's clear,
That play freely with the use of words, my sweet.

They lived happily ever after, they say,
Like a lucky fantasy legend, okay?
What else can you really expect,
From fairytales, fairytales, I suspect?

Human destinies become good publicity,
It goes in black and white and crude harassment, see?
And some earn more than you can imagine,
On fairytales, fairytales, it's a sin.

It took some time before it dawned on me,
Journalism is often subjective, you'll agree.
Bridges are built between yes and no, constantly,
And they play freely with the use of words, you see.
