Translation of the song Du Rejser artist Katinka

Danish

Du Rejser

English translation

You're Leaving

Det' ikke farven, der har ændret sig

It's not the colour which has changed

Det' alt det lys, du altid gemmer

It's all the light you're always hiding

Du har parkeret din stilhed her hos mig

You've parked your silence here with me

Men jeg ka' ikke se, hvor vejen ender

But I can't see where the road ends

Det' svært at være formålsløs

It's tough being purposeless

Når man altid har bagagen med sig

When you always carry your baggage around

Men du har vandret her i tusind år

But you've wandered here for a thousand years

Ka' du ikke bar' komme tilbage til mig

Can't you just come back to me?

Ka' du høre, du ska' være her?

Do you hear that you're supposed to be here?

Ka' du høre, at jeg ikke ka' vær' alene mer'?

Do you hear that I can't be alone anymore?

Tog toget, lod det bare ske

Took the train, I just let it happen

Hva' vil du finde?

What do you hope to find?

Mit ansigt er svært at se

My face is hard to see

Når det hele går hurtigt forbi

When everything is passing by so quickly

Sejler du stadig på bølgepap?

Do you still sail on corrugated cardboard?1

Bor på luftløse kasteller?

Living in castles without air?

Eller har du fundet varmen på

Or did you get warm at

En af dine mange hoteller?

One of your countless hotels?

Ka' du høre, du ska' være her?

Do you hear that you're supposed to be here?

Ka' du høre, at jeg ikke ka' vær' alene mer'?

Do you hear that I can't be alone anymore?

På hver stationen helt uden at kende nogen

At every station, entirely without knowing anyone

Hvorfor kommer du ikke hjem?

Why don't you come home?

For jeg kan se, at det ikke er dig

'Cause I can see that it's not you

Men mig, der bli'r blind

But me who's getting blind

Ka' du høre, du ska' være her?

Do you hear that you're supposed to be here?

Ka' du høre, at jeg ikke ka' vær' alene mer'?

Do you hear that I can't be alone anymore?
