Paroles et traduction New Jordal Swingers - Fortidas Labyrinter

Fortidas Labyrinter

Har du ofte gått og tenkt tilbake
Og ment at alt var mye bedre før
Er det som om du har gleppi' taket
Et sted bak fortidas slør

Har du følt deg helt forlatt aleine
Når gamle venner går en annen vei
Du står igjen ut i det kalde regnet
Frossen, bitter og lei
Og ja ble gjort om til nei
De klarer seg foruten deg

Du går i fortidas labyrinter
Der er det fare for å gå seg vill
I fortidas labyrinter
Mot dekadent livsstil

Har du ofte gått og tenkt tilbake
Og syn's at alt var mye bedre før
Er det som om du har gleppi' taket
Du ser bak fortidas slør
Ikke glem at det er nå lever
Og alt du trenger det er her og nå
Om du synes det som tida krever
Er vanskelig å forstå
Så husk alt det du kan få
Det venter på deg her og nå

Labyrinths of the Past

Have you often found yourself looking back, my dear,
Thinking everything was so much better then?
Does it feel like you've lost your grip somehow,
Somewhere behind the veil of yesterday?

Have you felt completely lost and all alone,
When old friends wander down a different road?
You're left standing in the cold and pouring rain,
Frozen, bitter, and so low.
And yes was turned to no,
They manage fine without you, you know.

You wander in the labyrinths of the past,
Where it's so easy, love, to lose your way.
In the labyrinths of the past,
Towards a decadent display.

Have you often found yourself looking back, my dear,
Thinking everything was so much better then?
Does it feel like you've lost your grip somehow,
You see behind the veil of yesterday.
Don't forget that you're living in the now,
And everything you need is here today.
If you find that what time demands of you
Is difficult to comprehend, I say,
Remember all that you can gain, it's true,
It's waiting here for you, this very day.
