Текст и перевод песни Bjørn Eidsvåg - Auene dine

Auene dine

Eg så deg komma eg såg du va' rein
Eg ble heilt ifrå meg
Forbanna deg og grein
Eg hadde bedt og ropt så lenge
Kvifor kom du ikkje før
Nå va' det for seint
Eg hadde bolta mi dør
Eg va ein statue med hjarta
Som banka i granitt
Berre steinur og ørken
Va' landskapet mitt

Du tok ikkje auene dine frå meg
Du såg te det sprang vatten fram frå stein
Eg kviskra: Du må ikkje gå ifrå meg!
Du tok meg tett inn te deg og grein
Du grein

Eg vet'kje ka eg fant
Eg vet'kje ka eg fekk
Sjøl og eg blei trist
Va eg heil då du gjekk
Eg hadde sett eit glimt av himmel
Men eg kjente lukt av jord
Og eg forsto at mårådagen
Alt bere' dine spor
Eg fekk pusta i din nåde
Og fekk evne te å sjå ditt bilde i min neste
Og fekk mot te å gå

Der tårene dine møtte jord
Vaks ei rose, vaks ditt ord
Du sa: ta imot gåva, bror
Då du gjekk va' det strimer
Av blod i ditt spor

Your Eyes

I saw you approaching, I saw you were pure
I was beside myself
Cursed you and cried
I had prayed and cried for so long
Why didn't you come sooner
Now it was too late
I had bolted my door
I was a statue with a heart
That pounded in granite
Only rocks and desert
Were my landscape

You didn't take your eyes from me
You saw to it that water sprang forth from stone
I whispered: You mustn't leave me!
You took me close to you and cried
You cried

I don't know what I found
I don't know what I got
Even I was sad
Was I whole when you left
I had seen a glimpse of heaven
But I smelled the earth
And I understood that tomorrow
Would already bear your traces
I was allowed to breathe in your grace
And I was given the ability to see your image in my fellow man
And I was given the courage to go

Where your tears met the ground
Grew a rose, grew your word
You said: Accept the gift, brother
When you left there were streaks
Of blood in your path
