Jeg var en mann som hadde alt
I was a man that had everything
Og mente skjebnen var fortjent
And thought the fate was deserved
Jeg trengte aldri noen andre i mitt liv
I never needed anyone else in my life
Jeg innså det for sent
I realised it too late
Den smerten blir jeg aldri kvitt
That pain I'll never get rid of
Som kom da piken måtte dra
That came when the girl had to go
Og savnet der dypt i mitt melankolske sinn
And lost deep in my melancholic mind
Er mer enn jeg kan ta
Is more than I can take
Hun er aldri langt ifra meg
She is never far away from me
Selv når hun må gå sin vei
Even when she must go her own way
Vil hun stadig bry meg, se meg, ta meg,
She will still pester me, see me, take me
Få meg uansett
Get me anyway
Jeg vil vente her i tårnet
I want to wait here in the tower
Lengte ved en åpen dør
Yearning by an open door
Der drømmer jeg hun kommer inn
There I dream she comes in
Og blir hos meg slik hun var før
And is with me the way she was before
Det er en pinefull logikk
It is an agonising logic
At kjærligheten er så hard
That love is so hard
Nå har hun fjernet seg, men for mitt indre blikk
When she has distanced herself, but for my inner sight
Der står hun like klar
There she is as clear
Hun drar aldri helt ifra meg
She never completely leaves me
Selv om sinn og hjerte blør
Even if mind and heart bleed
Vil hun gi meg styrke,
She will give me strength,
Bli en del av alle ting jeg gjør
Become a part of all things I do
Jeg vil vente her i tårnet
I want to wait here in the tower
Lengte ved en åpen dør
Yearning by an open door
Der drømmer jeg hun kommer inn
There I dream she comes in
Med stjernestøv på sine kinn
With stardust on her cheek
Hun bringer med seg solens skinn
She brings with herself the sun's shine
Blir hos meg slik hun var før
Being with me the way she was before
