Ved porten der jeg bor - deLillos traduction en anglais

Ved porten der jeg bor

Jeg nå i fjorten dager har
Sett et nyforelsket par
De står der utenfor min port
Om dagen jeg dem ikke ser
Det er om kvelden dette skjer
De står der, de to
Ved porten der jeg bor
De kysser, de to
Ved porten der jeg bor
Han tar en hånd på hennes bryst
Og hvisker hest "Jeg har sånn lyst"
(Hvem da?) gutten (hvor da?)
Ved porten der jeg bor
Jeg har jo ingen jente selv
Jeg lengter etter kyss og stell
Men ingen kommer inn min port
Men de to står der hver en kveld
Først langt på natt tar de farvel
De drømmer (hvem da?) de to
(Hvor da?) ved porten der jeg bor
Om lykken (hvem da?) de to
(Hvor da?) ved porten der jeg bor
Hun hvisker ømt "Jeg elsker deg"
"Jeg vet at du er alt for meg"
(Hvem da?) jenta
(Hvor da?) ved porten der jeg bor
Men her en kveld så stod hun der
Alene tenk ved gatens trær
Hun virket ensom og forlatt
Da sprang jeg ut og ropte "Hei, her er jeg"
Vi sto der- vi to- ved porten der jeg bor
Vi kysset- vi to- ved porten der jeg bor
Hun smilte søtt "Jeg ventet deg"
"Nå er det bare deg og meg"
(Hvem da?) vi to
(Hvor da?) ved porten der jeg bor

By the Gate Where I Live

For a fortnight now I've seen
A couple newly in love
They stand in front of my gate
I don't see them during the day
It's in the evening that this happens
There they stand, the two of them
By the gate where I live
They kiss, the two of them
By the gate where I live
He puts a hand on her breast
And whispers softly, "I desire you so much"
(Who then?) the boy (where then?)
By the gate where I live
I have no girl of my own
I long for kisses and affection
But no one comes through my gate
But the two of them are there every night
It's late at night before they say goodbye
They dream (who then?) the two of them
(Where then?) by the gate where I live
Of happiness (who then?) the two of them
(Where then?) by the gate where I live
She whispers tenderly, "I love you"
"I know that you are everything to me"
(Who then?) the girl
(Where then?) by the gate where I live
But one evening she was standing there
Alone, just think, by the trees in the street
She seemed lonely and forsaken
Then I ran out and called, "Hey, here I am"
We stood there - the two of us - by the gate where I live
We kissed - the two of us - by the gate where I live
She smiled sweetly, "I've been waiting for you"
"Now it's just you and me"
(Who then?) the two of us
(Where then?) by the gate where I live
