Текст и перевод песни Ulf Lundell - Dagen

Dagen

Hon ppnar drren
Och kliver ut p trappan
Drar hret frn gonen
Och knpper kappan
Det r en blsig morgon i mitten av april
Knopparna sprnger, inte en sjl syns till
Ljuset r som en klocka av glas
Det r vr i luften
Men det r kallt
Han vaknar av ljudet
Av en gren som slr
Mot fnstret och han stter sej upp
Han kom igr
Vita lakan p soffor och bord
Som sn som legat fr lnge p jord
Nr han drar av dom kommer allt som sas
Dr i rummet en gng upp som damm
Som virvlar runt
Verallt
Ser du tavlan i skyn
Ser du stranden som blommar
Hr du lrkorna, viporna, spovarna
Ser du hstarna, ser du hunden
Och flickan i sin kjol
Hr du skan och dundret av hovarna
Ser du gubben som hivar sin kpp upp mot solen
Den blir till guld av en smll frn blixten
Allt faller p plats, du fr synen tillbaks
Du, som trodde att du mist den
Frn varsitt hll
Svvar dom ut nu
Hon och han
Dom vet att det r slut nu
Det r en tidig morgon i mitten av april
Vinden mojnar, hela vrlden str still
Det r gott att leva
Trots allt

The Day

You open the door
And step out on the porch
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And button up your coat
It's a blustery morning in mid-April
The buds are bursting, not a soul in sight
The light is like a bell jar of glass
It's spring in the air
But it's cold
I awake to the sound
Of a branch hitting
The window and I sit up
I came yesterday
White sheets on sofas and tables
Like snow that has lain too long on the earth
When you pull them off, everything that was said
Comes up in the room like dust
That swirls around
Everywhere
Do you see the painting in the sky
Do you see the blossoming beach
Do you hear the larks, the lapwings, the snipes
Do you see the horses, do you see the dog
And the girl in her skirt
Do you hear the clang and thunder of the hooves
Do you see the old man raising his stick towards the sun
It turns to gold by a smile from the lightning
Everything falls into place, you get your sight back
You, who thought you had lost it
From opposite sides
They float out now
She and I
They know it's over now
It's an early morning in mid-April
The wind dies down, the whole world stands still
It's good to be alive
Despite everything
