Текст и перевод песни Bjørn Eidsvåg - Fly Barn, Fly

Fly Barn, Fly

Å så fint de lekte sammen
De stakk seg bort og gjor'
Ulovlige ting
De trosset forbud, de trosset
Skammen
De fløy arm i arm med hver sin
Ving
Gjemt bort i kroken, kott og
Under bord
Fant de opp språket som ikke
Trenger ord
De fløy over gjenlåste porter
De sprang som lettbente hjorter

Fly barn, fly
Til Soria Moria slott
Fly like til Paradis
Fly og ha det godt
En dag tar leken slutt
Med rynker i pannen går de hver til sitt

En liten pike, en liten gutt
Blir tatt av skammen for de lekte litt
De møtte noe de ikke forsto
De var uten ord, de levde, de lo
De våknet som voksne i samme båt,
Fant ordene igjen og gråt.

Fly barn, fly ...

Syng barn, syng
Syng i dur, syng i moll
Syng like til Paradis
Syng bort alle troll
De søkte en tilhørighet de aldri
Kunne få
De søkte en helhet bare drømmer kunne nå

Fly barn, fly ...

Fly Child, Fly

Oh, how sweetly they played together,
They stole away and did things
Forbidden.
They defied the ban, they defied
Shame,
They flew arm in arm with each of their
Wings.
Hidden away in nooks, closets,
And under tables,
They invented a language that
Needed no words.
They flew over locked gates,
They sprang like nimble deer.

Fly, child, fly,
To the castle of Soria Moria.
Fly all the way to Paradise,
Fly and be happy.
One day the game will end,
With wrinkles in their foreheads they will each go their own way.

A little girl, a little boy,
Are seized by shame for having played a little.
They encountered something they did not understand,
They were without words, they lived, they laughed.
They awoke as adults in the same boat,
Found words again and cried.

Fly, child, fly ...

Sing, child, sing,
Sing in a major key, sing in a minor key,
Sing all the way to Paradise,
Sing away all the trolls.
They sought a sense of belonging they could never
Obtain.
They sought a wholeness that only dreams could reach.

Fly, child, fly ...
