Lyrics
Jag satt p tget sderut, i eftermiddagssol
Fll jag i smn eller var jag kanske vaken nr jag reste mej frn min stol
Jag klev av vid en de tgperrong i en frmmande stad
Sanden ven ver gatorna, hr fanns bara jag
Solen svedde pannan min, jag sg ett skjul nere vid n
Ett fnster gapade ppet dr, jag hrde rster inifrn
S ppnades drren, en karl steg ut, var han en prst eller predikant
Hans ansikte var formlst, hans ena ga blankt
Jag frgade var jag var, han sa, du r dd sen mnga r
Du har ditt namn p ett kors i en stor svart skog, dit ingen lngre gr
Han sa, jag har fljt dej lnge nu, jag har vntat dej vnnen min
Jag hann inte tnka ngonting innan han hastigt drog mej in
Drinne stod ett flickebarn, med brudbukett i hand
Vita liljor och ringblommor i ett sotsvart sidenband
Hon hll sin andra hand ver brstet, hrt knuten som en sten
Som ville hon slita hjrtat ur kroppen, som om allting redan var fr sent
Jag sa, du mste ge dej av, hon sg p mej och sa
Har du glmt mej, vet du inte att, jag, jag r ditt barn
Mannen sa, hr p, livet frsiggr, det r bara att flyta med
Fr du kan aldrig vlja ditt de, nej, det r bara s det r
Jag svarade, kanske r det jag som r galen, men mitt hjrta knner rtt frn fel
Och det r upp till mej att vlja, det r inte enbart slumpens spel
Han skrattade och sa, det r en sanning som r svr att sklja ner
Och dom flesta kan aldrig svlja den, s vem behver ditt hjrta numer
Behll du din naiva tro p mnniskan men
Innan du gr vill jag du ska veta att vi mts rtt snart igen
Jag ppnade mina gon, och tget stod d still
Och med ens blev jag rdd fr sjlva vetskapen
Om att jag lever och finns till
Lyrics translation
I sat in the afternoon sun
Did I go to smn or was I maybe awake when I traveled from my chair
I got off at a de tgperrong in a frmande city
The sand ver ver the streets, hr there was only me
The sun scorched my forehead, I sg A Shed down at n
A fnster gaping ppet dr, I hrde rster inifrn
S ppnades drren, a fellow step out, was he a prst or preacher
His face was formlst, his one ga blank
I asked where I was, he said, You're dead then many are
You have your name on a cross in a large black forest, where no longer
He said, I've gone nowhere now, I've seen mine
I didn't have time for anything before he hurriedly pulled me in
Drinne was a girl child, with a bridal bouquet in hand
White lilies and marigolds in a soot-black satin ribbon
She held her second hand over brstet, hrt tied like a stone
She wanted to tear her heart out of her body, as if everything was already too late
I said, You have to go, she saw me and said
Have you forgotten me, don't you know that, I, I'm your child
The man said, here's the life for sure, it's just flowing with
Because you can never turn your de, no, it's just so it is
I answered, Maybe it's me who is crazy, but my heart is right from wrong
And it's up to me to choose, it's not just the game of chance
He laughed and said, it is a truth that is difficult to hide
And most people can never swallow it, so who needs your heart now
Do you keep your naive faith P mnniskan but
Before you gr I want you to know that we mts rtt again soon
I opened my gon, and tget stood d still
And with even I was rescued from the very knowledge
That I live and exist
