Paroles et traduction Sissel - Musens Sang

Musens Sang

En enlig lille muse har det svære' end man tror,
Man befinder sig skidt mellem himmel og jord.
Man slider og man slæber, men hvad skal man stille op
Med sit gode humør og sin medbragte krop.
Man var så oplagt til alt, da man kom,
Men det er der ing'n, der bekymrer sig om.
En muses live og levned, det betyder ikke spor.
Man er bare et fnug mellem himmel og jord.
En muse er en pligtopfyld'ne lille meteor,
Hun er alltid på fart mellem himmel og jord.
Hun kommer, når det kaldes, og hun ofrer hvad hun kan,
Om det så er seg selv, for at frelse en mand.
Ak, men hvad har man så ud af sit job,
Kun vrøvl og spetakler, og så skal man op.
De småting, man har ordnet, nævnes ikke met et ord.
Man har kun gjort sin pligt mellem himmel og jord.
Der' mend nok her i verden, en er lille, en er stor,
Og de lover en alt mellem himmel og jord.
Men manden, ham den rigti'e, der får pulsen til at slå,
Det man som, man ved, at man aldrig kan få.
Jordiske piger til alteret går,
Den chance er der ingen muse, der får.
Så muser de må hell're blive hjemme, hvor de bor.
De får hjerterne knust mellem himmel og jord

Song of the Muse

A lonely little mouse has it rougher than you think,
Feeling lost and alone between heaven and earth.
You work and you toil, but what are you supposed to do
With your good humor and your body that's all your own.
You were so excited for everything when you came,
But no one cares about that, it's all the same.
A mouse's life and livelihood are worth nothing.
You're just a speck between heaven and earth.
A mouse is a diligent little meteor,
She's always rushing between heaven and earth.
She comes when she's called, and she sacrifices all she can,
Even herself, to save a man.
Oh, but what do you get out of your job?
Just noise and chaos, and then you have to get up.
The little things you've fixed aren't mentioned with a word.
You've just done your duty between heaven and earth.
There are enough men in this world, some small, some large,
And they promise you everything between heaven and earth.
But the right man, the one who makes your heart beat faster,
The one you know you can never have, that's for sure.
Earthly girls get married,
That's not a chance a mouse ever has.
So mice should rather stay home where they belong.
Their hearts will get broken between heaven and earth.
