Nytt Imellom Oss (Something New in Between Us)

Det e kommet nåkka nytt imellom oss
nåkka som vi ikkje kan forklare
trur du at det bære e et blaff
trur du vi kan få det te å vare
kanskje e det nåkka vi har hatt
nåkka som vi langsomt gikk ifra
uten at vi skjønte ka som skjedde
uten at vi vesste ka det va

Det e kommet nåkka nytt imellom oss
eller det e kommet nå tebake
kommet gjennom vinduet ei natt
sotte sæ i veggan og i taket
kommet hit med alt vi hadde glemt
funnet vårres hemmelige blikk
uten at vi skjønte at det skjedde
uten at vi fatta ka vi fikk

Det e kommet nåkka nytt imellom oss
trur du vi kan få det te å bli her
livet e en sang vi ikkje kan
og nu går den akkurat forbi her
det du har I øyan dine nu
det som gjor at vannet blei te vin
uten at vi skjønte at det skjedde
og at det va vi som slapp det inn


Translation:


Something new has got in between us
Something that we cannot explain
do you think that it is just a breeze
do you think we can make it go on
maybe it is something that we have had
something that we slowly went away from
without that we understood what happened
without that we knew what it was

Something new has got in between us
or it has come back now
has come through the window one night
placed itself in the wall and the roof
has come here with everything we had forgotten
has found our secret glances
without that we understood that it happened
without that we grasped what we received

Something new has got in between us
do you think we can make it stay here
life is a song that we do not master and now it passes by right here
that what you have in your eyes now
that what does that water turned to wine
without that we understood that it happened
and that it was us who let it in

Far From Any Road

From the dusty mesa
Her looming shadow grows,
Hidden in the branches
Of the poison creosote.

She twines her spines up slowly
Towards the boiling sun,
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood.

In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom,
A strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand.

When the last light warms the rocks
And the rattlesnakes unfold,
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.

And rise with me forever
Across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes
And the wind will be my hands.
