Translation of the song Plagerne [The Plagues] artist The Prince of Egypt (OST)

Kor:

Choir:

Og herren sagde, og herren sagde, og herren sagde…

And the Lord said, and the Lord said, and the Lord said...

Nægter at lade folket gå

Refusing the people to leave

Nægter at lade folket gå

Refusing the people to leave

Hvorfor at vi blev sure og sender plagen

The reason why we got angry, sending the plague

sender pesten ind i huset, ind i sengen

sending the pest into your house, into your bed

Ind i floden, ind i bægeret

In the river, in your cup

I dit drikkevand og brød

In your drinking water and bread

I dine okser, dine får og geder

In your oxen, your sheep and goats

Som i marken går

Which walk on the field

I dine drømme, i din søvn

In your dreams, in your sleep

Til du bliver offer for den

Until you'll fall victim to it

Ned, jeg sender sværm, jeg sender horde

Down I send the swarm, I send the horde

Og herren sagde

And the Lord said

Moses:

Moses:

Kaldte dig min broder

I called you my brother

Og jeg tænkte så jeg dig blot le

And I thought that if I just could see you laugh

Var det alt hvad jeg ku' ønske

That would be all I could ever desire

Kor:

Choir:

Jeg sender tordenkilen ned, jeg sender ilden fra min sky

I send the thunder down, I send the fire from my cloud

Moses:

Moses

Jeg ønsker nu i dag

Today I'd wish

At gud havde valgt en anden

That God had chosen someone else

At møde dig som fjende i sit sted

Meeting you as your enemy in his place

Det det sidste jeg ku' ønske

That's the last thing I'd ever want

Kor:

Choir:

Jeg sender haglene ned som lyn

I send the hail down as lightning

På hver en mark og hver en by

On every field and every town

Moses:

Moses:

Her var mit hjem

This used to be my home

Al fordærv og al den smerte

All the decay and all this suffering

Det har gjort mit hjerte koldt

It has turned my heart cold

Trods uskyldige som lider

Despite the innocent people who suffer

Er du stadig stejl og stolt

You're still stubborn and proud

Kor:

Choir:

Jeg sender ækle ting fra østen

I send disgusting things from the east

Som vil sværme, tager din høst

Which will swarm, take your harvest

På hvert et blad og hver en kvist

Of every leaf and every twig

Nu kommer de til dit hus

Now they'll come to your house

Ned, jeg sender ilden fra mit sværd

Down I send the fire from my sword

Og herren sagde

And the Lord said

Moses:

Moses:

Dig jeg kaldte broder, nu må dine gerninger forslå

You whom I called brother, your deeds must come to an end now

Dig jeg kaldte broder

Lad hjertet mit forstene

Let my heart petrify

And not care about what it's gonna cost

Dette ord vil stå

I'll never let the people leave
