Paroles et traduction Ulf Lundell - Fem Timmar Till Landning

Fem Timmar Till Landning

Ntligen p plats efter
Check-in, security
Tidningar, walk-man
Tom plats bredvid
Hon kommer sent
Jag flyttar mina saker
Ett leende, ett tack
Vi lyfter lite efter tid
Stjrnenatt, stjrnenatt
Utanfr fnstret
Filmen slut, ljuset dmpat
Fem timmar till landning
En efter en stannar motorerna
Kvinnan bredvid griper tag i min hand
Allt jag hr r hennes andning
Planet sjunker, sjunker
Vi sitter sdr
Vi vet att det r ver nu
Shr tar det slut
Ett brandgult sken
Vi ser lnga flamor av eld
Frn motorerna nr vi tittar ut
Barn som skriker, ngon grter
Kaptenen sjer: Vi gr vad vi kan
Fr att f igng dom igen
Han ber oss vara lugna
Vi sitter tysta
Hller hrt varandras hnder
Hon viskar: Jag vill inte d n
Havet drute som en bucklig plt
Och sen ljuen frn en stad
Sen ltsligt trycket i ryggen:
Motorerna gr igng igen
Sen landningsbanans lampor p rad
Planet grtt av aska
Ett moln frn en vulkan
Sler nn i bussen till gaten
En kvinna skrattar
Ett barn blir kysst
Varsin kopp kaffe
Folk rusar hit och dit
Jag ser p henne
Hon ser p mig
Hon lutar sig fram ver bordet
Brjar grta tyst

Five Hours Until Landing

Finally in place after
Check-in, security
Magazines, headphones
Empty seat next to me
She's running late
I move my things
A smile, a thank you
We take off a bit late
Starry night, starry night
Outside the window
Movie ends, lights dim
Five hours until landing
One by one, the engines stop
The woman beside grabs my hand
All I hear is her breath
The plane descends, descends
We sit there
We know it's over now
This is where it ends
A flame-yellow glow
We see long flames of fire
From the engines when we look out
Children crying, someone's sobbing
The captain says: We're doing everything we can
To get them running again
He asks us to stay calm
We sit in silence
Holding each other's hands tightly
She whispers: I don't want to die
The ocean below like a dented plate
And then the light from a city
Then suddenly the pressure in our backs:
The engines are running again
Then the runway lights in a row
The plane covered in soot
A cloud from a volcano
Sitting in the bus to the terminal
A woman laughs
A child is kissed
A cup of coffee each
People rushing here and there
I look at her
She looks at me
She leans across the table
Starts crying quietly
