Paroles et traduction Sigvart Dagsland - Mannen Som Gikk For Langt

Mannen Som Gikk For Langt

Det va en mann som gjekk for langt ein gang
Han hadde kjent at veien hjem var lang
Mellom mørke myr og tjern
Og kjent at veien hjem blei fjern
Han va ein villfaren blant fjell og skog
Kom lengre vekk for kvert ett skritt han tok
Alt for seint å angra nå
Måtte bare gå og gå

Korr ska du hen denne gang
Eg bare spørr, finne du frem denne gang
Sånn som før, eller e dette vandringen du tar - som ikkje har ein ende?

Det var ein mann som kom for seint ein gang
Han hadde glemt at veien frem var lang
Han la på sprang, men det gjekk trådt
Då han kom frem va toget gått
Han va ein villfaren i rom og tid
Alltid på rette plass på feile tid
Men så retta han blikket opp
Å ser mot neste bakketopp

Korr ska du hen denne gang
Eg bare spørr, finne du frem denne gang
Sånn som før, eller e dette vandringen du tar - som ikkje vil ta slutt?

Alle disse hendelause turene
Med kvilelause jakt fra sted te sted
Men alt han finne når han komme frem
E at lykken e – der han ikkje e

Korr ska du hen denne gang
Eg bare spørr, finne du frem denne gang
Sånn som før, eller e dette vandringen du tar som aldri vil ta slutt?

Korr ska du hen denne gang
Eg bare spørr, finne du frem denne gang
Sånn som før, eller e dette vandringen du tar som ikkje har ein ende?

Det var ein gang ein mann som skreiv ein sang
Om ein mann som gjekk for langt ein gang
Då han så la penne vekk – stod han igjen i blekk

The Man Who Went Too Far

There was a man who walked too far one time
He realized the road home was long
Through dark moor and tarn
And found that the road home was far
He was a stray amongst mountains and forest
Got further away with every step he took
Too late to regret now
He just had to go and go

Chorus Where are you going this time
I'm just asking, will you find your way this time
Like before, or is this the journey you're taking - that has no end?

There was a man who was late one time
He had forgotten that the path ahead was long
He started to run, but it was slow
When he got there the train had gone
He was a stray in space and time
Always in the right place at the wrong time
But then he looked up
And saw towards the next hilltop

Chorus Where are you going this time
I'm just asking, will you find your way this time
Like before, or is this the journey you're taking - that won't end?

All these aimless trips
With restless hunting from place to place
But all he finds when he gets there
Is that happiness is - where he is not

Chorus Where are you going this time
I'm just asking, will you find your way this time
Like before, or is this the journey you're taking that will never end?

Chorus Where are you going this time
I'm just asking, will you find your way this time
Like before, or is this the journey you're taking that has no end?

There was once a man who wrote a song
About a man who walked too far one time
When he laid down his pen - he was stood again in the ink
