Paroles et traduction Siw Malmkvist - Alla Andra Får Varann

Alla Andra Får Varann

Bara, bara du och jag
Måste skilda gå var dag
Men alla andra får varann

Varför ska det vara så
Varför drabbas just vi två
När alla andra får varann

Om jag blott vågade fria
Skulle du nog ge ditt ′ja'
Men lyckan får vänta
Tills jag repat mod en dag

Jag på bröllop brukar gå
Men får sitta och se på
Hur alla andra får varann

Kanhända kunde det ordnas
Och sen gick det som en dans
Om man kunde fria liksom förr
Per korrespondens

Yeah... käraste, en vacker dag, kanske också du och jag
Som alla andra får varann

Everyone Else Finds Love

Only, only you and I
Must separate and say goodbye each day
But everyone else finds love

Why should it be this way?
Why are we the only two who must endure this dismay?
When everyone else finds love

If only I dared to profess my love,
Perhaps you would give me your consent to wed.
But happiness must wait,
Until I muster the courage to propose someday.

I often attend weddings,
But I am forced to sit and watch in solitude,
As everyone else finds love

Perhaps it could be arranged,
And then it would all unfold like a beautiful dance,
If only one could propose as they did in the olden days,
Via correspondence

Oh darling... someday, perhaps it will be you and I too,
Like everyone else who finds love
