Paroles et traduction Ulf Lundell - Vin Till Vatten

Vin Till Vatten

Vinden har stillat
Himlen stjrnbestrdd
Barnen sover och drmmer
Det r sant att oss r en frlsare fdd
Det r vad den hr natten gmmer
Tiden str stilla
Det r tyst verallt
I knerna, stderna, fjllen
En Gud r oss given
P halm och str
Dr ligger han, fredsrebellen
Hr hur en kr av nglar sjunger
Hgt ver Himalayas berg
Se hur morgonrodnaden sklver
I en sllsam frg
Om du kom tillbaks
Tillbaks hit idag
Och sg dina ord frblda
Sg svltande barn
Svultna i ditt namn
I ditt namn lnder frdda
Ett gyllne kors mot mrkret hjs
Att bringa ljus i natten
Folk mot folk i kristi blod
I ditt namn
Hur mycket vin har gjorts till vatten?
Hr hur det dnar ver flod och sltt
Bered en vg fr herran
Med gud p din sida har du alltid rtt
Bered en vg fr herran
Med blick mot skyn str ett barn med sin mor
Bered en vg fr herran
Kriget r heligt och gud r stor
Bered en vg fr herran
Vinden har stillnat
Himlen stjrnbestrdd
Barnen sover och drmmer
Det r sant att oss r en frlsare fdd
Det r vad den hr natten gmmer
Tiden str stilla
Det r tyst verallt
I knarna stderna fjllen
En gud r oss given
P halm och str
Dr ligger han, fredsrebellen

Wine to Water

The wind has calmed
The sky is starlit
The children sleep and dream
It is true that a savior has been born to us
That is what this night hides
Time stands still
It is silent everywhere
In the knees, the cities, the mountains
A God has been given to us
On straw and hay
There he lies, the rebel of peace
Hear how a choir of angels sings
High above the mountains of the Himalayas
See how the dawn trembles
In a wondrous color
If you came back
Back here today
And saw your words damned
Saw starving children
Starving in your name
Countries destroyed in your name
A golden cross is raised against the darkness
To bring light into the night
People against people in the blood of Christ
In your name
How much wine has been made into water?
Hear how it thunders over flood and plain
Prepare a way for the Lord
With God on your side, you are always right
Prepare a way for the Lord
With eyes turned towards the sky, a child stands with its mother
Prepare a way for the Lord
War is holy and God is great
Prepare a way for the Lord
The wind has calmed
The sky is starlit
The children sleep and dream
It is true that a savior has been born to us
That is what this night hides
Time stands still
It is silent everywhere
In the knees, the cities, the mountains
A God has been given to us
On straw and hay
There he lies, the rebel of peace
