Paroles et traduction Ulf Lundell - Den stora bilden

Den stora bilden

Jag var ung, jag var vild
Jag var stndigt p vg
Jag slet mig fri frn vad som n
Hll mig fast
Jag strk runt husen om ntterna
Jag sg en repstege hnga ner
Frn en prinsessas torn
Staden drnere var som en
Labyrint av kristall
Vi var tv akrobater p ett tivoli
I en svajande mast
Vi slppte taget och landa p sltterna
Dr ingen lever, dr ingen bor
Hon skulle rdda sin familj
Var deras sista hopp
Hon skulle tnda igen
Vad dom andra slckt
Hon flydde frn det dr
Men hur lngt vi n kt
Hade det inte varit nog
Hade det inte rckt
Och jag sa: veva ner rutan
Lt vinden ta ditt hr
Jag ska ta dig frn den hr vintern till vr
Vi ska g dr ingen gtt
Dr ingen gr
Den stora bilden, den stora vrlden
Och vinden i ditt hr
Och hg var himlen och fri var vr sng
Ett barn blev ftt uppe bland bergen
Dr stjrnornas fall
Strimmade mrkret som fyrverkeri
Och norrskenet flammade och bljade
Av och an
Vi hll vrt fort, vi hll vr mark
Men till sommaren gick hon upp om ntterna
Hennes rst blev hrd och kall
Hon stod vid fnstret med blicken i fjrran
Som om hon hrde rster
Frn ett lmnat land
Och jag sa: veva ner rutan
Lt vinden ta ditt hr
Jag ska ta dig frn den hr vintern till vr
Vi ska g dr ingen gtt
Dr ingen gr
Den stora bilden, den stora vrlden
Och vinden i ditt hr
Nu jobbar jag ute p plattan
Rullar dom hr vagnarna in och ut
Jag sg henne vid en gate vid jul
Mannen hon har nu klr henne bra
Sg planet lyfta sen frn bana A
Frsvann upp genom molnen med ett tjut
Hon har vad hon har nu
Jag har vad jag har
Hon r fast menjag ska ta mig ut
Hrifrn en

The Big Picture

I was young, I was wild
I was always on the road
I broke free from what was
Keeping me tied down
I wandered around the houses at night
I saw a rope ladder hanging down
From a princess's tower
The city below was like a
Labyrinth of crystal
We were two acrobats in a circus
On a swaying mast
We let go and landed on the plains
Where no one lives, where no one dwells
She was going to save her family
Their last hope
She would rekindle
What others had extinguished
She fled from there
But how far have we come?
Has it not been enough?
Has it not been enough?
And I said: roll down the window
Let the wind take your hair
I'll take you from this winter to spring
We will go where no one has gone
Where no one goes
The big picture, the big world
And the wind in your hair
High was the sky and free was our song
A child was born up in the mountains
Where the falling stars
Streaked the darkness like fireworks
And the aurora borealis flared and paled
Now and then
We held our fort, we held our ground
But by summer she would get up at night
Her voice became hard and cold
She stood by the window, her gaze distant
As if she could hear voices
From a forgotten land
And I said: roll down the window
Let the wind take your hair
I'll take you from this winter to spring
We will go where no one has gone
Where no one goes
The big picture, the big world
And the wind in your hair
Now I work outside on the platform
Rolling these wagons in and out
I saw her at a gate at Christmas
The man she has now dresses her well
Saw the plane take off from runway A
Vanished up through the clouds with a roar
She has what she has
I have what I have
She is trapped, but I will get out
OutOf this
