Unfortunately there is no translation available and i would really like to know, what it is about.

Could some one translate it for me? 😁

  2. Thought I could go for the challenge! He sings in a dialect, and I’m struggling to get the exact words in two of the lines, but I think I got it right. Including the Norwegian lyrics I wrote down first, if you wanna run them through Google translate at some point. Also note that I wrote it down in “bokmål”, and not like he would probably write it in his dialect. Some words would be different, like “æ” vs “jeg” (“I”), etc.

    Ah, kan du kysse meg før

    Du tar alt det jeg har

    Jeg vet jeg må la deg ta

    Den tid det tar

    Men jeg vil ikke uendelig [not 100% sure here]

    Du har vært her lenge nok til å få overblikk

    Og du har innsett at vi er ikke det vi var [not 100% sure here]

    Kan du bevise at alt kan snu seg på et øyeblikk

    Kan du gi meg konsekvensen av et valg

    Det ikke er jeg som tar

    Åh, hvis du sier du må gå

    Kan du ikke bare gå

    Uten å si noe mer

    Jeg forstår hvis det er sårt

    Men kjenner du at du bare må

    La meg ikke vente på

    At du har vært der lenge nok til å få overblikk

    Og du har innsett at vi er ikke det vi var

    Kan du bevise at alt kan snu seg på et øyeblikk

    Kan du gi meg konsekvensen av et valg

    Det ikke er jeg som tar

    **My English translation:**

    Oh, can you kiss me before

    You take all that I have

    I know I need to give you

    The time it takes

    But I don’t want you to take forever [not 100% sure]

    You’ve been here long enough to get an overview

    And you’ve realized we’re not what we were [not 100% sure]

    Can you show me that everything could change in a moment

    Can you give me the consequence of a decision

    That I am not the one to make

    Oh, if you are telling me you need to go

    Can’t you just go?

    Without saying any more

    I understand if it’s sore

    But if you feel like you have to

    Don’t let me wait for

    That you have been here long enough to get an overview

    And you’ve realized we’re not what we were

    Can you show me that everything could change in a moment

    Can you give me the consequence of a decision

    That I am not the one to make
