Paroles et traduction Valravn - Lysabild

Lysabild

I træets øverste grene
Sad en pige så alene
Et ansigt sig spejlede i tællelampens skær
Borte var alle hun havde haft så kær
Og dødens vind den strejfede hendes kind
I træets øverste grene sad en pige så alene
Men håbet det boede i hendes unge sind
Som lyset det flakkede i den røde aftenvind
Og livet kyssede hendes kind
Alene de andre er døde
Alene alle er døde
Alene resten er døde
Lys mit lys
3 mile derfra sad i sorg en ungersevend
Hand troede ej mere skulle få en ven
Modløs han stirrede mod aftenhimlen grå
I det fjerne et glimt ud i mørket han så
Han leb over stok han løb over sten, gennem moser og krat og forrev sine ben
Men ensom at være det ville han ej, og ran så af sted på den lange mørke vej
Han løb over mark og han løb gennem skov, alt imens pigen sad i træet og sov
Han løb gennem hegn og løb gennem krat, han stred sig igennem den mørkeste nat
Alene de andre er døde
Alene alle er døde
Alene resten er døde
Lys mit lys

Lysabild

In the highest branches of the tree
A girl sat so alone
A face reflected in the glow of a candle
Gone were all she had held so dear
And the wind of death caressed her cheek
In the highest branches of the tree sat a girl so alone
But hope still dwelt within her youthful mind
As the light flickered in the red evening breeze
And life kissed her cheek
Alone, the others are dead
Alone, all are dead
Alone, the rest are dead
Light my light
Three miles away, a young man sat in mourning
He no longer believed he would ever have a friend
Disheartened, he stared up at the gray evening sky
In the distance, he saw a glimmer in the darkness
He ran over logs, over stones, through bogs and thickets, tearing at his legs
But he would not be alone, and so he ran off on the long dark road
He ran over fields and through forests, while the girl sat sleeping in the tree
He ran through fences and ran through thickets, he fought his way through the darkest night
Alone, the others are dead
Alone, all are dead
Alone, the rest are dead
Light my light
