Farvel Marita - Rune Rudberg traduction en anglais

Farvel Marita

Første gang jeg så deg, det var en sommerdag
Der du kom springende var du så glad.
Ditt lange mørke hår, det blåste vilt I vind'n
Og jeg husker at jeg ønsket du var min.
Og slik ble det også, for en liten stund.
Jeg husker at jeg svevde, jeg hadde gjort et funn.
Men du ville leve livet du ville være fri, og da sommer'n dro
Ja da var alt forbi.

Refr:
Farvel Marita, farvel og takk for det du gav.
Våre planer de ble det ikke noe av, men takk, takk Marita.

Åra gikk fort, men jeg glemte aldri deg
Og en dag sto du der foran meg.
Du rakte fram din arm, full av sprøytestikk å sa;
Gi meg til mat du kjente meg ikke da.
Jeg sa navnet ditt I det du tok den pengen som du fikk.
Du klarte ikke si no', men du gråt I det du gikk.
Å idag rett før konserten leste jeg I en avis,
Du vakke mer stod det I en notis.

Refr:
Farvel Marita, farvel og takk for det du gav.
Våre planer de ble det ikke noe av, men takk, takk Marita.

Jeg klarte ikke sitte, jeg måtte ut å gå.
For jeg kjente tårer presse på.
Men de ble skjult I høstregn, og glad er jeg for det.
For mine tårer de får ingen se.
Det begynte med et blås bare for å ha det gøy.
Prisen du betalte, den ble nok altfor høy.
Det bildet jeg vil huske, det er fra den sommerdag, da du kom springende å var så glad.

Refr:
Farvel Marita, farvel og takk for det du gav.
Våre planer de ble det ikke noe av, men takk, takk Marita.
Farvel Marita...

Goodbye Marita

The first time I saw you, it was a summer day
You were running, so full of joy.
Your long dark hair, it blew wildly in the wind
And I remember wishing you were mine.
And so it was, for a little while.
I remember floating, I had found a treasure.
But you wanted to live your life, you wanted to be free, and when summer left
Well, it was all over.

Chorus:
Goodbye Marita, goodbye and thank you for what you gave.
Our plans, they didn't work out, but thank you, thank you Marita.

Years went by quickly, but I never forgot you
And one day you stood there before me.
You reached out your arm, full of needle marks and said;
Give me money for food, you didn't recognize me then.
I said your name as you took the money that you were given.
You couldn't say anything, but you cried as you walked away.
And today, just before the concert, I read in a newspaper,
You're gone, it said in a small notice.

Chorus:
Goodbye Marita, goodbye and thank you for what you gave.
Our plans, they didn't work out, but thank you, thank you Marita.

I couldn't sit still, I had to go for a walk.
Because I felt tears welling up.
But they were hidden in the autumn rain, and I'm glad for that.
Because no one will see my tears.
It started with a sniff, just for fun.
The price you paid, it was far too high.
The image I will remember, it's from that summer day, when you came running and were so happy.

Chorus:
Goodbye Marita, goodbye and thank you for what you gave.
Our plans, they didn't work out, but thank you, thank you Marita.
Goodbye Marita...
