Paroles et traduction Ulf Lundell - Vi kunde ha älskat

Vi kunde ha älskat

Vi Kunde ha lskat istllet fr att slssom barnens hjrtan om kvinnoroch mn och meningsls makt
Vi kunde ha skyddat avrann mot dom som vill skada oss
Vi kunde ha slutit oss samman till en krlekspakt
Vi kunde ha skrattat t kriget och drivit rdslan p flykt
Du gav mej makten lskling s du kunde ta den
Vi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha lskat istllet fr att slss
Vi kunde ha sagt nej istllet fr att ge vrt blodi denna ddens dans dr hatet fick sej ett skratt
Vi kunde ha fljt vra drmmar och gett varandra mod
Vingar ver havet istllet fr kedjor i vr natt
Vi kunde ha hllt en hand mot en kind varje dagoch mtt varandras blick
Du gav mej allt lsklingmen behll allt nd
Vi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha lskat istllet fr att ge dden vrt blod
Vi kunde ha gett varann all frihet i vrlden
Vi kunde ha sett varann som drottning och kung
Vi kunde ha slagit snder vra frmlingaroch hllt vr krlek evigt ung
Ser du inte det? Vi kunde ha lskat
Vi har dom hr barnen som betyder mer n alltmen du och jag r fienderoch kommer kanske s frbli
Du sitter i ditt mrker
Jag i mitt och det r kallt
Lngtar du tillbaka till det helvete vi levde i? Jag nskar dej en annan mansom kan gra dej till den du r
Jag vill leva ensam nu
Drren r ppen i din bur
Men vi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha lskatvi kunde ha lskat
Vi kunde ha gett varann allt

We could have loved

We could have loved instead of fighting like children's hearts about women and men and meaningless power
We could have protected nature against those who want to harm us
We could have joined forces into a pact of love
We could have laughed at war and put fear to flight
You gave me power darling so you could take it
We could have loved
We could have loved
We could have loved instead of fighting
We could have said no instead of giving our blood in this deadly dance where hatred had a laugh
We could have followed our dreams and given each other courage
Wings over the sea instead of chains in our night
We could have held a hand to a cheek every day and met each other's gaze
You gave me everything darling but kept it all still
We could have loved
We could have loved
We could have loved instead of giving our blood to death
We could have given each other all the freedom in the world
We could have seen each other as queen and king
We could have broken our barriers and kept our love forever young
Don't you see it? We could have loved
We have these children who mean more than anything but you and I are enemies and will maybe stay that way
You sit in your darkness
I in mine and it is cold
Do you long back to the hell we lived in? I wish you another man who can make you who you are
I want to live alone now
The door is open in your cage
But we could have loved
We could have loved we could have loved
We could have given each other everything
