Текст и перевод песни Lars Vaular - Legender

Legender

På min tolvte fødselsdag
På dagens siste klokkeslag
Så tråkket eg over en grense
For første gang så skulle eg tørre å bli forelsket
For første gang så skulle eg prøve å bli elsket
Og det va høst, men det va varmt
Indian summer ble det kalt
Når kroppen min gav etter presset
I likhet med en bil som aldri klarte bremse
Skrenset i en vegg og verden drepte en prinsesse
Og det ble spurt og spekulert
Men eg va aldri interessert
I teori og hypotese i media
For det eg va interessert i å lese
Va kroppsspråket til Therese

Verden gråter for Diana
Eg tenkte på min tjommi Pac
Mens eg tente på min siggi
Gråt eg to tårer for Biggie
To sider av samme sak

Legender lever lenger
Og overlever alt
Eg hører nye stemmer
Men savner mine venner
Og alt eg ble fortalt

Det va nitten-nitti-syv
Han va i midten av sitt liv
Han ble knapt over tyve
Rett før nitten-nitti-ni
Fant han gnisten til å bli
No mer enn bare en type
Som forsvant når eg va liten
Han danset ute i streeten
Fikk folk til å bli med
Brann vant cupen samme dagen
I to-tusen-og-fire
En venn ringte og sa det
Han va'kkje lenger i live

Byen jubler for en seier
Eg tenkte på en siste sang
Mens eg tente på en jonni
Og tenkte på min tjommi
Som va nødt å dra

Legender lever lenger
Og overlever alt
Eg hører nye stemmer
Men savner mine venner
Og alt eg ble fortalt

Du sitter fastlåst, akkurat det
Låst fast, såpass liten plass til å gå på
At du bytter på å sitte og stå for å få fart på tiden
Skritter rundt, håper ukene går kjapt
Og siden sist har eg kun sett én overskrift
Et utydelig bilde, men sladdingen e over ditt tryne
Og mine tanker bare forblir med meg
Eg spør ingen om saken, venter til eg ser deg
Akkurat dette her vi snakket om å unngå
Va nødt til å tro at alt skjer for en grunn, så
For grove for loven, men, mann, det e greit
Det e'kkje rett, men allikevel helt okay

Alle her vil tjene penger
Noen kjemper for en sak
Eg prøver å bli nykter
For å være sikker på aldri å bli blakk

Legender lever lenger
Og overlever alt
Eg hører nye stemmer
Men savner mine venner
Og alt eg ble fortalt

Legends

On my twelfth birthday
At the day's final chime
I crossed a line
For the first time, I dared to fall in love
For the first time, I tried to be loved
And it was autumn, but it was warm
An Indian summer, they called it
When my body yielded to the pressure
Like a car that could never brake
Skidded into a wall and the world lost a princess
And questions were asked, speculation arose
But I was never interested
In theories and hypotheses in the media
Because what I was interested in reading
Was Therese's body language

The world cries for Diana
I thought of my buddy Pac
As I lit my cigarette
I shed two tears for Biggie
Two sides of the same coin

Legends live longer
And survive everything
I hear new voices
But I miss my friends
And everything I was told

It was nineteen-ninety-seven
He was in the middle of his life
He barely made it past twenty
Just before nineteen-ninety-nine
He found the spark to become
More than just a guy
Who disappeared when I was little
He danced out in the street
Got people to join in
Brann won the cup the same day
In two-thousand-and-four
A friend called and said
He was no longer alive

The city celebrates a victory
I thought of one last song
As I lit a joint
And thought of my buddy
Who had to leave

Legends live longer
And survive everything
I hear new voices
But I miss my friends
And everything I was told

You're stuck, that's it
Locked up, such little space to move
That you alternate between sitting and standing to make time pass
Pacing around, hoping the weeks go by quickly
And since last time, I've only seen one headline
A blurry picture, but the blur is over your face
And my thoughts just stay with me
I don't ask anyone about it, I'll wait until I see you
This is exactly what we talked about avoiding
I had to believe that everything happens for a reason, so
Too rough for the law, but, man, it's alright
It's not right, but still okay

Everyone here wants to make money
Some fight for a cause
I'm trying to get sober
To make sure I never go broke

Legends live longer
And survive everything
I hear new voices
But I miss my friends
And everything I was told
